the only disconnect is idiots thinking an uncoordinated ogre who can't move is an NBA prospect
LOL the national player of the year gets a low ball offer to go work on his game in the G league - maybe the Timberwolves can draft him and then Edey and Luka Garza (another big ten national player of the year) can team up to win multiple NBA championships
Not sure about that, his NBA evaluation was Mid to late 2nd round AT BEST. That tells me they said if I were you I would stay in College,
On Life Support? No
plus college seasons are like dog years to NBA teams
I mean, Edey literally said it would come down to money and NIL. He's still super young in basketball development. He's going to continue to improve.
Might want to check the combine athleticism. He's continued to work on his body and improve his athleticism. He is a solid passer, though, still developing. Some draft workouts would say he can shoot and that's why Painter has talked about expanding his role if he came back. If he had a bad shot, he'd be a bad free throw shooter. His biggest issue is going to be athletic ceiling. He's not there yet though
I am not debating that. I don’t blame him , he didn’t have a guaranteed place at a NBA dinner table. With NIL it makes these decisions easier for the players. I see what the NBA is today and IMO this kid is a stretch for a NBA roster even in 24.
Maybe. And maybe one is a lottery pick. The rest of the final four had little to no nba talent.
They were also a one seed and had mediocre recruiting. There’s no denying they suck at the tournament lately, but they overachieved as a team with an ogre and a pair of freshmen guards
Shit, that's good honest work if you can get it!
Probably. He will make a roster purely to see if the league can develop him. He's still a young basketball player
The last part about roster is wrong, he will get drafted, He is 7’4” you can’t coach that.
My post on him not making a roster. I meant to say I think he has s a stretch to be a regular contributor in the NBA.
21.5 million watched the CFB final. 19 million watched Kansas vs. North Carolina in the CBB final. Not on life support. Money wise, a CFB game, which takes on average a minimum of 3.5 hours to play (during which they actually play only about 10 minutes) produces three to four times the TV revenue of a CBB game (which lasts on average just over 2 hours to play [and they actually play]) The game day experience (booze and food) make CFB an unbelievable revenue producer.
Sure. Atm I'd agree. Hes still progressing. And seemingly doing so at a very rapid rate.
Dude the NBA is on life support. NCAA is exponentially more popular. Most people stop watching basketball BEYOND the NCAA. Glad Edey’s comin back.
The NBA game is different now than 20 years ago when being 7 feet tall put you as an automatic lottery pick. You can be 7 feet but you better be able to shoot, run, and handle the ball. No one wants one dimensional rim protectors and no one in the NBA plays through the block. This is why Edey and the kid from Craytin came back. Theres no market for them.
By "y'all" did you mean the one guy who said college basketball is dying or did you mean literally everyone else in the thread who disagrees with him? Lazy troll attempt moron.
