We continue our scouting series with Zach Edey! We analyze his game and break him down, and we'll let the cat out of the bag early: we both really like him. What really matters is, will it work in the NBA? And will he get the opportunity to do it? Tune in to find out.
You'll see a deeper look into the state of the low post in the modern NBA thanks to Noah's analysis, and see how Edey can get his pathway to minutes. Stick around to the very end to see how we'd split up our betting money for the 2024-2025 Rookie of the Year race.
Next week, our focus will be on the other dominant college scorer of this draft class: Dalton Knecht of the Los Angeles Lakers.
