if Ed keeps working on his post game & FT% he will be a borderline all-star..in a league thats going small ball more & more legit PF's like Ed are becoming some what rare..his def. needs to improve too but with his size it should be easy once he learns what he can get away with

JV + Ed Frontcourt is beastly. Soo much interior D and Rebounding leading to sexy fast breaks and open looks. Plus they communicate and Ed passes surprisingly well. Like Butch Carter said, communication between your 4 and 5 is important. JV and Ed Seem to communicate well and get along on and off the court so it will bode well. Unlike bargnani who sits in the corner eating Primo and chucking 3's all day long with a blank expression on his face.

Yeah, we lost despite his great stats, but that doesn't mean that this was his fault. He deserves more playing time and with some better pieces with him Raptors could be betterLast edited by japetas; Fri Dec 14, 2012, 08:50 AM.(Sorry for poor English )

ED is nothing more than a first big of the bench......This is the problem in T.O over-hyping marginal talent...we need stars we can build around not role players who work hard... don't get me wrong I like Ed but he isn't a player you use as a core guy......raptors fans we should know this by now....Ed has the Focus and effort but lacks the talent lol Ironic isn't it......0.o

If you want 'loser' stats, go look at what Andrea Bargnani has been able to accomplish, even in his best years.
Ed is passing the eye test with flying colors. When he gets 10 minutes he produces just as effeciently as when he gets 20, or 30, the only thing that changes is his totals at the end of the game. Go through his game to game, he is the most consistent player we have when it comes to producing when he is on the floor. Ive been saying this from the beginning, its hard for other raptors fans to notice an improvement of a player that plays only 10 minutes, but in those 10 minutes Ed can bring more on D, and his newly improved aggressiveness on O, than any of our PowerForwards. He was our leading rebounder last year in 24 minutes. He has improved and shown a better jump shot, a more calm, less rushed approached, and stronger defensive fundamentals.
This is a positive sign to show that Ed is willing to evolve his game. Ed can get 10 rebounds without us even realizing it and in 20 minutes easy. Ed is probably our best help defender as well, AND he can be effective on offense. There is little in the way of Ed developing to be a top-10 PF in the league.The Baltic Beast is unstoppable!

There is some irony in this; the guy who slowly but surely develops into the team's most reliable player doesn't even get noticed by the genius management guys. Why am I not surprised. Maybe Ed needs to be less humble around these parts. :-D

I think some of you guys are way off on this one. Ed is talented DEFENSIVELY, and PHYSICALLY with the quick hops and length, and his offensive game is coming around especially that jumper and his passing. Some guys take longer to put it together (frankly he might not at all), but it is wrong to assume the talent isn't there.

Now you're saying top 10 after a few good performances?
