Draft prospect: Zach Edey, C, Purdue

I wouldn't say useless....just means they will be a bench/matchup player

While the offensive fit wouldn't be good, I think we would end up with the best defense in the NBA. We would play a lot of zone....between the length of our perimeter defenders and having a 7'2" beast rim protector, we would cause nightmares for opposing offenses

The problem I see with Edy is he loved to live in the paint, and not in a “well that can be offset with zone defense” sort of way. He literally lived under the basket, and the refs never called 3 seconds on him. I don’t think refs call 3 second violations in the NBA, but if they do, he could be one a major liability.

At the end of the day, I would just trade the draft assets we have and sure up the roster with a vet. This teams window keeps opening and shutting with every Zion and BI injury, to the point that it’s causing a draft.
