Everything 2024 Draft

[Primer]

How many teams are happy they didn't waste a 1st rounder on that unathletic Serbian C back in 2014, who dropped to pick 41.

OK, if we pretend Edey is Jokic then sure.

If Jokic has played in the NCAA he'd have gone top 5.

Big question is how Edey fits with what Darko's trying to do on both ends. He sets good screens and I think his passing game is there to fit into that hub role. But otherwise I'm not too sure.

As many have noted Darko may not be here by the end of next season so I wouldnt worry how he fits with Darko. I'd worry how he fits into the modern nba.

Now you're just making stuff up. With Jokic, people were overly focused on his lack of athleticism. But he has sky-high IQ. Does Edey have a high IQ? I don't know. Workouts will shed some light on that, but it won't be until he's playing the NBA we'll know for sure. If he does, he'll succeed. If he doesn't he'll join the long list of dud bigs.

Is anyone actually wanting to target Edey for the Raps? Whether we have one or two first round picks there are bigger areas of need than Edey. Even with our second rounder I’d have to look at fit.

I feel he'll be drafted and I hope he carves out a successful career. I want him to land on a team with good development and where he will get a legit chance.

No one was overly focused on anything about Jokic. He was a 19 year old nobody foreign player who went mid 2nd round. If he had played in the NCAA that wouldn't have been the case.

Edey is a 4 year college player. They're aren't comparable.

I'm watching this Pitts game, Carlton Carrington = wow.

[The Great One]

Lowe(a PG) is pretty good too.

Carrington at 17 and Lowe at 31(if he's there) and I'd be happy.

I have a feeling Carrington would rocket up the draft board though.

Raps Magic not keeping you're attention?

I switched to the Pitt/North Carolina game in the 2nd quarter. Raptors are a shitshow that is not worth watching.

[LJ2]

It's crazy to think that a 7'4" player that averages 24 points and 12 rebounds in College ISN'T the #1 pick ... 10-15 years ago it would be a no brainer, no? Lol

If they did that as a freshman then yeah.

The question with Edey for me is, how does he fit with Scotties game? Scottie racing up the court and waiting for Edey to lumber up there isn't going to work. Need quicker guys that can catch and finish if we're talking bigs.

[The Great One]

Oh boy, Givony is on him now too.

As we showed earlier in the thread, he's literally faster up the court than Gradey is .. I don't see it being a huge issue.

Givony has Carrington 28th on his top 100, right around our Detroit pick range.

I didn't see that posted but I'm still kind of skeptical. I haven't seen much of him finishing in transition which is something you would think Raps would want in a big playing with Scottie. Doesnt shoot much either it seems like. Is he a good defender at least?
