- Gil's Arena ERUPTS Debating Zach Edey's NBA Potential as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew battle over Zach Edey's chances of finding success in the NBA as the 7 footer out of Perdue is demolishing the NCAA Tournament while also facing criticism that his old fashioned game won't translate to the league. Gil goes as far to say that an NBA GM who picks him in the NBA Draft will lose their job while Rashad & Lexie try to build a case for the march madness superstar to be a lottery pick.
Gil’s Arena premieres every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 11:30am PT / 2:30pm ET.

Rashad was killing it in this segment. “Y’all were sorry playing fast”.
“Slow it down and give it to the big fella”😂
RM be killing these dudes most of the time. To me most of these shows should have Kenyon Martin, McCants to hold GA accountable even though he usually talks from an ownership perspective
@@KulifiWilliamsidc what anyone says Rashad was that dude in college thought he was the most talented player on that unc team he's game actually fit todays game better he was a great shooter long story short he didn't have a great career but Rashad could hoop at the highest level ppl need to stop treating him like he was a a scrub
@@KulifiWilliamsreal shyt
💯
7"4 is different than 6'2!!! Mccants bringing the fire today!
at his best he can be yoa ming - vlade divac, at his worse he"ll be boban or sean bradly
@@hakeemblake3653I’ll take that risk easy at 12-17 if its an already winning team with a stable current roster
Cooked his ass 😂😂😂
@@hakeemblake3653 he is not Yao Ming can we stop the non sense Yao could actually pull you to the mid range and hit that consistently and he was freaking 7’6
Hasheem Thabeet
Rashad McCants has an underrated knowledge of the game.
Gil is completely wrong. Bagley just turned 25 years old in March. He got drafted at 18 years old. Gil just be lying 🤦🏽♂️
Dang the guy is that old 24 not 22 not a good look if he was that good he would have been drafted at 21 or 22 years old
That's even worse he's 25 years old he should be better than those kids.
@@tubthumping14I wouldn’t say lie maybe exaggerate yea. But I’m sure he doesn’t know these guys age off the top of his head.
They should’ve bought up jalen brunson on Gilbert Arenas. He was 22 when his rookie yr and look what he developed into.
@@davidpicou7758 make no sense
Now gil cares about defense 😂
That’s his attribute size lol why wouldn’t he say defense
He only cares when it's the centers, not the guards 😜
I don't think you get it...
He’s a idiot
@@elirane85I mean defense is one of the centers main priorities
Since no one thinks he’ll pan out in the league, I now hope he’ll pan out in the league lol
He's going to be a problem in this soft League...once he shoots 3s he's good
@@keithfowler1674he can’t guard the pick and roll at all he’s gonna be a liability on defense hell he is now when I’m watching Purdue guards come off screens for easy points he doesn’t even go for blocks at all

@@keithfowler1674We know you dont watch basketball fr
His career gone pan out like Luke Garza
McCants been cooking gil for a while
You delusional
Shout out to Rashad. My guy say some wild shit sometimes but hes spot on here.
How?
Never seen someone get cooked so bad and kept switching points to get cooked again 😂
So you think Zach will be good in the league? You’re agreeing with the good college player bad nba player over the hood college player great nba player
@@darylvondutch6096they are basketball players, not prophets. It doesn’t matter who was good or bad in the league. Who made the league or didn’t. It is all speculation and guessing on how Edey will pan out in the league.
There’s a lot of players that thought Ben Simmons and Lonzo would be perennial all-stars. There’s a lot of players that did not. Nobody ever knows for certain.
Welcome to Gils life. He stays getting cooked on and off the court.
@@ACZcamsUser1 Ben was a perennial all star tho😂 and with your logic how are you taking up for rashad? Illogical
@@ACZcamsUser1 you think Zach edey will be good? Edey 7’4 stiff no skill set and there’s a wemby in the league 7’4 moving like a guard dpoy candidate. Y’all forcing it
Never thought I would agree with Rashad but I’m with him this one
😂😂 damn I was saying the same thing
Ever in life
How? He has no clue what he’s talking about just looking at college numbers and his game is nothing
@@jamesdinkens4577And Gilbert does? Gilbert said Rudy Gobert is 210😂😂😂
McCants been cooking gil for a while now
I noticed Gil doesnt think much before he speaks , Rashad does.
Kwame said that too
At all
Gil loves to exaggerate. Rudy Gobert is 7'1", 258, according to Google.
Yea but Gobert has HOF defense. Edey doesn’t have defense like that. Edey has bad footwork in the paint, slow as hell, can’t shoot. And I saw that airball at the end on the ft.
@bob11002009 Oh, definitely true. I haven't really watched Edey, but he looks big and slow. But to try and say Gobert is really that much thinner is kind of crazy too.
Gil don’t really ever be thinking at all
Zach edy is like master yu out there in the paint
@@bob11002009wrong about the footwork.
ive never seen gil get smoked this bad. he couldnt decide what he wanted to make a point for. wins, ticket sales, players perspective, owner and gms perspective
He always does this, youre just beginning to realize who is the biggest hypocrite on NBA podcasts channel now
& he was wrong about Marvin Bagley , he re-classed back up to the class he was suppose to be in .. so he was 18 or 19 just like all the other guys in his draft class. Dude just be yapping n making things up 😭😭
He probably thinks his son is a future NBA lottery pick
@@khleung1306 soooooo fuckin grateful u said this this show is turning into more of a entertainment show then actual basketball knowledge
@@medved4030 he probably will tbh his son is a bucket
Rashad took that quote “you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take” serious, nicca hit nothing but net in 20 minutes 😂😂
Wow Mccant really kill this segment 🔥🔥🔥 Proud of you Boy
Bol Bol played 10 games in College. Gil will make up shit and shift the argument to make his point. Zach can ball.
Actually only 9 games
And he did look incredible before the injury.
Again Gilbert does not do he’s work and think he knows everything
@@mkingadifferncewth are u saying
He was still lottery projected dude
Rudy is not 210 pounds bro 🤣
Exaclty. N way Rudy 210
Rudy is like 260 at his height
That’s what I’m sayin. Gil just be yapping sometimes. If Gobert was 210, he’d be built like rookie year Giannis
@@tidefaleye19it’s a fucking exaggeration damn
Gil just be talking...lying!!!😂
I've followed Edey since he was a Freshman. He has really improved his game, speed and conditioning. He was trash his freshman yr, sometimes I even felt bad watching him on the court. Not sure what type of NBA player he'll be, but the intelligence and hard work is there.
Man! I remember watching Purdue lose against the Miami hurricanes his freshman year and thought the same thing. I think he's earn a first round pick.
Played as much or more minutes than anyone in the tournament. His conditioning improvement every year has been unreal. He's built like a Mack truck and has stayed healthy.
Gil - "Bol Bol went 44th in his draft"
Lexie - "Who was in Bol Bol's draft class?"
Gil - "43 people"😂😂😂😂
When Gil cleared his throat, no Diddy, I knew it wouldn’t be good for Edey.
No diddy means no homo gang not no cap 😅🤦🏽♂️
No diddy 😂
No diddy is corny
I’m using that officially starting right now for every pause or no homo moment 😂
@@Istaytlkncrazynah that shit funny af😂😂😂

You saying like looking at things a different way is a problem
@@palex8463 switching it to fit you’re argument pivoting from the original point is dumb lol
It's called variables
Wouldn't that make his point stronger
Yes! Gil just jumping from anecdote to anecdote and not making any coherent argument that’s called bsing
Edey maybe a 4 year college kid but he's only been playing organized basketball since he was 16. He is still in his developmental infancy and he has an amazing work ethic.
Everybody says he can't shoot, but he's making over 70 % of his FTs for his college career.
@@penkima4923and he can LEARN to shoot? Isnt that what nba level coaches are for?
@@CahlilWesson I have a feeling he can already shoot. And that he won't have to take too many shots outside the paint in the NBA.
I usually don't agree with Rashad but please give him his crown for this debate. He schooled Gilbert. Gilbert believes everything that comes out his mouth is gold. Yao turned into such a monster towards the end of his career. I hope Edey could become like Yao, great footwork and a jumpshot.
@@penkima4923 Exactly. That's a sign he can step out and develop a consistent shot.
Them metrics work when you drafting in madden and 2k - If you draft a player who is 18-19; you got a star but a 22 yo senior usually grade out as basic or avg player
Tbr mccants cooked this whole video
Facts 💯 he did Gil got cook
Rashad Mccants is correct again. The NBA trend of choosing genetics and athleticism over technically skilled players has always been somewhat of a mixed bag. A lot of these drafted young players don't end up improving their overall skills, fundamentals included. The NBA coaches do a good job of improving a player's conditioning but many of them aren't able to develop additional skills for whatever reasons. This is the main reason why International players are getting more attention these days because many of them are professionally trained in their teen years with the type of team skill sets you typically see being trained in the American College level. Mentally, they're several years ahead of our own American players.
Fair point! Cause I mean, Gil and them been saying the NBA doesn't play defense. Now they're saying "oh, he won't be able to defend!" If you have NBA size and are skilled at all, you will at least find a spot somewhere. This draft is really weak, a lot of these guys might at best be second options. So if you think this guy can give you 15-20 minutes a game and not STINK, hey, go for it! In a shallow draft, if you find a 10 year player, that's a success! Jokic did say he thinks Edey is very skilled and is an impressive player.
This lottery doesn't have game changers. There's no Wemby, there's no Luka, there's no Ant. Tim Duncan stayed 4 years. If you can play, eventually the NBA will find you. Bol Bol issue was work ethic. We know Edey got work ethic to stick around this long and not fall off.
@@greyklopstock7155Exactly and if Jokić is giving you the approval you know you’re doing something right
@@user-lt1fx2he5s absolutely. And Jokic would know a thing or two about a heavier big trying to make it in the league. Cause he's lived that same thing. So if he's saying he sees it, there's probably SOMETHING there. Remember, we worried about Alperen Sengun not being able to play defense, and he's so dynamic scoring and passing it just doesn't matter
@@greyklopstock7155Exactly these international players have taken over because they are fundamentally sound, their skill set is different, basketball IQ is up there, footwork and desire to be great
@@user-lt1fx2he5s facts. It's the same shit with Sacramento taking Marvin Bagley over Luka. Or even taking DeAndre Ayton. Just because it looks different, people don't want to believe what the data and the work says. Bol Bol probably would've been closer to Chet holmgren if he had better work ethic! But he wasn't working hard like that. And the foreign players who've been doing this professionally since like 14 are seasoned. They genuinely don't care how good you are overseas, you don't get superstar privilege. You are playing like 25 minutes a game max and they go 10 deep. If you can't be a role player sometimes, you don't make it over there.
Who knows if Zach Edey is going to be a 20 and 10 guy in the pros. But if he can be 10 and 7, give you a good 20 minutes, he'll be just fine in the league
Gil is acting like every lottery pick is supposed to be a massive game changer. That aint reality. The majority are picked as pieces on a team, not stars or go to guys. That's usually picks 1-4, maybe 5. Beyond that, pieces for the team despite many still being labeled lottery
Gil ain’t talked to no damn 3 GM’s fool caps so bad
Rudy is 250-260 bro😭
Idk what Gil big head talking about
He looks 210, Rudy is in great shape
Gilbert thinks he knows everything.. dude just be talking
@@greyyb8860no tf he doesn’t 😂
Naw he bout 230 ish
Yao Ming at 7’6 had amazing touch and great footwork. He also had a sleeper jump shot. He’s a career 80% FT shooter. He would periodically take pretty long 2s, and I’m sure in the modern game he would’ve developed a 3.
I'm almost sure he would have extended his range!!!
I wish Yao moved to the NBA earlier, maybe his health could've been managed better. Also, his commitment to China exacerbated his injuries. He was always available for the national team despite carrying nagging injuries after playing long NBA seasons.
Remember when the Olympics were in China Yao started the Olympics basketball games with a pull up 3? He would’ve developed a 3ball
Facts
You can say that about many players from the past, only a few would not be able to get used to todays game. Especially with previous rules dropped or added, making offense that much easier.
Age argument actually works against Gil. Most young lottery picks are productive players in 3rd or 4th year. You have already paid this player for developing the first few years. By the time he comes into his prime starting age 25ish, he has the ability to become an unrestricted free agent and go play elsewhere like Lebron and KD did. An older player ready to contribute is much better investment in the long run as you will have them for 8 years on Rookie and Rookie max extension contracts if they are pan out. Flawed argument by Gil!!!
Gil’s age argument makes no sense because it’s a lot young players in the league that live in the g league
😂😂😂dudes criticism of European players was they lack fundamentals because they dont go to college. Now hes saying this kid going to college means he shouldnt get drafted high. Gil really is an idiot.
Lmao!! Gil confused himself 🤣🤣
Gil argument will be different tomorrow like it always is! Rashad started off always being the one getting cooked and now he makes the most sense during these debates.
So true. The more Gil talks, the less value he has.
So let me get this straight, According to Gil, Edey who is 21 in 3 years will be 25 years old and wemby who is actually 20 years old( but gil says is 18) will be 21 years old in 3 years.
The math ain’t making sense😂
Edey turns 22 next month clown, in 3 years he will be 25.
@yahiaali4059 the math is right, Edey turns 22 next month
@@lilcourtny08 wemby is 20 rn and edey is 21 arenas make it sound like they 4 years apart lol
“Who’s he gonna play defense on???” Bro no one plays defense in the NBA anyway
😂😂😂exactly. Hell just join the rest of the nba players in the layup lines all game.
Scoot is 20 Edey is 21… what we talking bout here
Victor 20 too 🤣
Gil talks out his ass all the time😂
Arenas’ talking like all lottery picks end up as stars. Getting Edey just ensures you wont have a problem on the size side of things.
You're talking like Edey would be same as all other lottery picks. Zion and Edey are the heaviest players in the league, so they will end up as stars if healthy.
No, if a GM is fucking stupid enough to draft him with the lottery pick they deserve to be fired. Not only are you picking a guy that’s game is better suited for the 90s but he’s going to be 22 there’s not gonna be that much growth for him to do there’s a good chance he’s already tapped out on his potential why would you wanna waste a draft pick on a guy that you’re going to have to teach how to shoot? You’re gonna have to teach how to play NBA defense because he can’t camp the paint anymore his game is for a different era .
@@dsbeats5657 "Not only are you picking a guy that’s game is better suited for the 90s"
The 90's had the best big men out of all eras. There's nobody to stop him today.
"he’s going to be 22 there’s not gonna be that much growth for him"
He's transitioning from college to the NBA. Of course there's going to be growth.
"there’s a good chance he’s already tapped out on his potential"
There's over 30 year old players reaching their peaks. Edey is 21.
"why would you wanna waste a draft pick on a guy that you’re going to have to teach how to shoot?"
Why would you want a 7'5 guy shooting? He doesn't shoot jays, because he can get shots near the rim.
"You’re gonna have to teach how to play NBA defense because he can’t camp the paint anymore his game is for a different era."
They run NBA-plays in college. You have no clue what you're talking about, have you? And you're talking about firing GMs.
@@penkima4923you don't know shit about basketball saying that stupid shit
Pause
I hope the come back to this conversation after draft day
every clip: ERUPTS! EXPLODES! 😂
This is one of the best discussions they’ve had on this show. Lots of great points from every side
If you want to compete against Jokic, Embiid, Gobert, get Edey. Its the return of the Center
Not even close
Lmao no he’s not 🤦🏾♂️😂
They will all average 40 except gobert gobert would get 20+ rebounds though on him he’s to slow
He can't used him he can pass & score.
Think about Wemby. You need big bodies like Zach Edey to throw at Wemby in the future NBA. Edey will be an asset.
How many times are y’all gonna say “I can’t believe I’m agreeing with Rashad” before admitting he might actually know what he’s talking about?
Bro he gives out those bad takes on purpose. It’s to make us watch the show . He knows what’s he’s talking bout most times . Same reason he was wearing that crown every episode . 😂
A broken clock is right twice a day
Gil sets the bar so low.
Lmfao. Facts. It’s getting goofy at this point cause they say it damn near every episode
@@lilshaan6252I more so think ppl don’t like his lebron takes. He doesn’t troll for clicks. He just doesn’t repeat media narrative about certain guys
Rashad saying send Scoot back to the GLeague ignite in the last seconds of this clip is hilarious 😂😂😂
If Gilbert was a GM his team would be the worst in the league he would be fired within 2 years he is a clown
7’4 is bigger than 6’2… Smartest comment made on the whole show!!!
Scoot Henderson is 20, Edey is 21. Edey is 7'4" and he can play the entire 40 minute game. Jokic is not a good switch defender either, but it's hard to shoot over a 7'4" guy. There's not 13 players in this year's NBA draft that are better than Zach Edey. But this year's NBA draft isn't good either. Rashad is correct here.
Naw, it's the NBA. Those GMs are gonna ignore him.
He also has a 7'10 wingspan.
@solomonadjei758 He's 7'4" he'll probably be a top 15 pick. Besides that, name 10 players that are great or have great upside in this year's draft? Johnny Furphy? Kyle Floppowski? Filipowski is projected as a top 10 pick, and he's soft like Charmin. Even 6'3" 12 PPG Reed Sheppard is a top prospect 🙃 Nobody is very good.
@@WyattWillReed Sheppard is 6'1 at best.
@@WyattWill even if you can’t name 10 guys with better potential or production this year… the odds he is a top 7 player on anyone’s team being 7’4 is not likely unless he has a Wemby package that he is hiding
I think his age argument is funny because the Thompson twins just got drafted in the top 10 and they’re already 21
People were saying the same thing about Luca lol
Gil has multiple personalities 😂😂😂
You say that now, let’s comeback in 2025 and see if he was right.
He sold his soul to lebron James
@@FadeHook23 he was flip flopping.
@@khleung1306How do you know and why to him exactly?
7’4” is different from 6’2” 😂😂😂😂. That was a great come back.
I say the same thing about the Rockets Center Sengun, he can't guard a traffic cone
I’ve not seen one mock draft calling him a lottery pick… unless something has changed in the last few days. Hope he does well in the league. Probably will go late 1st, early 2nd… worth a pick at that point for sure.
Maybe not Lottery, but top 20. Edey, although 7'4 is a late bloomer. He's really only been playing 6-8 years. He still has the potential to grow. We've seen worst guys get taken in the lottery. Gil talking like he's playing 35 minutes a game. Plus the draft is weak this year.
Gil facts all over the place. When Wemby rookie contract is up. He'll be 21. Wemby 20 as a rookie now. Gil got to stop this foolishness. How many 18/19 year old players don't get a 2nd contract or even to their 4th year even been 1st rd picks. Josh Christopher, RJ Hampton, Ty Ty Washington are just a few recent names.. Wiseman the #2 pick can't even play 25MPG for the worst team in the League. Gil does a lot of fabrication off information on his show!
He defo can hoop but broksi got 2 moves. Spin right, spin left 😂😂
Is Zach Edey as good as Yao Ming like Rashad says? I didn’t watch the 2000s
That’s all you need is a move and a counter move.
@@beckembrown7002hell no. Yao Ming was a great mid range and free throw shooter. Edey’s got game though
@@gabetv6355especially at 7-4 but he’s way too slow and can’t shoot the three but cause of his size. He will stick it in the league because of his size but he won’t be a star...
Fear the man that practiced one punch a thousand times
20:35 got me in tears 😂😂😂.
4:25 I can’t wait to see him in the league. Traditional old school big. All these space the floor guys, when they shad and traditional bigs would eat when most have the same concern. An efficient big playing near the rim that isn’t acting like a guard is great. Imagine he goes to the Spurs with Wemby and they’re together it’s sweet.
Bol Bol played 9 college games. Zach has played in 136 games averaging more points and rebounds than Bol Bol. Draft Zach
That’s what I’m saying bol bol ain’t do shit in college Zach putting up shaq numbers in the tournament
Thank goodness Rashad is on the panel To make it make sense.
5:30 😂😂😂
I’m so glad I live on westside and Purdue players keep playing good basketball and football with potentially future star players like edey
I didn’t know luka and joker run a 4.4
They don’t
Hahaha
Luka is way different , can this dude shoot 3? JOKER not the fastest but they both can take u outside n take u off the dribble
@@deebrown9263luka can, I have never seen more than 5 clips of jokic taking someone off the dribble behind the arc, he only dribbled inside or very close to the paint.
@@deebrown9263when Luka n jokic 1st came to league, the same thing was being said bout them being a liability on defense or whatever
Bol bol had a serious foot injury that scared teams.
I see him being something of a Zubac type but more of a feature in offense due to his passing.
7:32 greatest quote of the segment. “ If y’all sorry playing fast, then slow this shit down”. Valid point fast doesn’t equal efficient especially for a lottery team.
Being slower doesn't make you efficient he is not a joker. 7'4 slow poor IQ and not that good of a shoot er
Gil they type of guy that throws a tantrum whenever someone disagrees with him…like a child lol😂
SAME DUDE THAT GOT PEOPLE THINKING THE 80S AND 90S WERE TRASH
Right
You prolly saw a clip with him trolling and ran off with it .. he gives both eras their credit.. the older guys were shitting on the modern game so he was just trolling them but he did say stop comparing the eras and let the game evolve.
We DONE with 80s and 90s. GAHBAGE
He shoots great from the free throw line. He has shown the ability to learn to shoot from farther out. Who is gonna guard him in the post if he refines his game? He is a good passer and gonna require a double team. Safe picks are sometimes the best building blocks if we're talking outside the top 5.
I have a feeling he already has a mid-range game. But I don't think he will even need it. Who's gonna defend him in the post right now in the NBA?
@penkima4923 The fact that most these guys can't guard dudes they size in the post, maybe a handful. That is being generous.
Yeah that’s assuming he’s not gonna get ripped instantly I think Zach is probably going to be maybe like a good role-player if he gets stronger and learns how to set really good screenings. And yes if I do think he has a mid range game but he hasn’t really shown it. May be a pick and three guy off the bench that gives you 15 minutes a game, but I don’t think he’s gonna ever be a game changer.
@@dsbeats5657 "Zach is probably going to be maybe like a good role-player if he gets stronger"
He will probably be the strongest player in the league as a rookie. And heaviest. And tallest. And most physical.
Buddy learn how to shoot threes he can be a Brook Lopez type
When R. McCants said alot of teams are moving fast and suck , slow it down. Makes all the sense in the world.
San Antonio! If they switch Wemby is still at the rim and if they switch Wemby then Edey is at the rim and Wemby can space the floor and let Edey play on the block. That said, early 2nd round or late 1st
Saying Brandon miller ain’t a game changer is crazy

18 of last year's first-round picks spent time in the G league, including 6 lottery picks.
Bro I paused this shit once Gil started mentioning the fanbase argument for why Zach Edey isn't that guy to get drafted. I am also very biased since I went to Purdue and really do fuck with Edey.
However ALL my Purdue friends are so hyped up about this guy leading us to our first final 4 in like (44?) years. We definitely like him more than Jaden Ivey, and that guy plays pretty well for Detroit. Solely just based on this guy staying all 4 years and bringing us this far.
I promise you, assuming he goes to the right franchise, there are gong to be a large fanbase buying his NBA Jersey next fall.
- From years of Purdue Alumni who have been starved for NCAA Tournament Hope
- Canadian People (though that market is getting a little saturated)
- Asian People (He's half Chinese from his Mom's side I guess, but looks like Yao Ming more than anyone else that comes to mind)
McCants is right in really not overthinking it.
Edey probably isn't a top 8-10 pick, but for those fringe lottery teams on the cusp, he's a great pick.
1. Those teams that would be picking him are close to playoff level and likely want a known/trained talent at 21 vs someone they have to develop
2. They don't even need him to be their superstar since they just need that additional height advantage for ideally 25-30 mins a game. Helping defensively against the Wemby/Chet/Gobert/Embiid/Giannis/Jokic/Sabonis/Jabari Smith Jr/Walker Kessler/Jarrett Allen/Deandre Ayton etc.
3. His Height is also his biggest weakness yes. But he's not fat. He's 300 pounds of significant muscle. He definitely will put in the work to be the best he can athletically
4. His mentality he's shown from winning these games and putting his all on the court is nothing to scoff at. Yes, he really could have lost aginst Tennessee if more of those FTs didn't fall in, or they weren't called against him. However he played almost the entire 40 mins. He wants it bad and that's also something you can't teach.
At worst, a mid level NBA team can get a 7' 4" guy who
- Wants to Win
- Willing to put in the work athletically
- Can get Rebounds
- Can Score in the paint
- Used to being hounded for FreeThrows
- Can pass the ball out of the post
- Knows he needs to work on his speed / defensive agility
- Has a pretty decent fanbase
I'd think that's solid enough for that 10-25 pick range. He definitely does not fall to the Nuggets/Celtics or the 2nd round.
I would wish he could get to the clippers, but they don't have a 1st round pick this year.
I'd bet money he likely goes to New Orleans as the backup for Valenciunas. OKC Isn't taking him.
This was very well put bro
Ayee gill would’ve had me yelling during this debate. He keep moving the goal post 😂
If yall sorry already moving fast 😂
None of the NBA players play defense anymore. And all the teams play zone. I would force teams to make 3s. Edey is like 90% on all his shots. If you want to go analytics. Edey will score 18 points on 10 possessions. The other team will score 12 points on 40% from three.
The whole point of the draft is to pick the best available player with the best potential. Boom or bust. If it doesn’t work out on to the next.
Gil is that friend that lies about everything and thinks he fooled you, meanwhile secretly, noone actually takes him seriously. Man be like " i talked to 2 GM's"..."i called up all the 80's players"...i believe miko when she said nobody in the business messes with Gil thats why he doesnt really get top notch guests.
What? Gil is well respected & popular among his generation & this one… he’s the bridge. Hence why he has now #1 nba podcast in the world. Guests? He got Steph Curry to do a rare interview. And Shanon Sharpe chose him to be his partner. Looks you might be the liar 👀
@@MrDiMES123That was an L by Shannon and just because you have the no.1 NBA podcast doesn’t mean you know the X’s and O’s of the game because Tim Ledger has his own podcast
@@user-lt1fx2he5stf is you talking about Gil averaged 29 in the hardest defensive era in nba history just because he’s not sitting here breaking down X’s and O’s don’t mean he can’t you sound crazy
@@user-lt1fx2he5s good comment homie 👏
@@user-lt1fx2he5sI think people more so watch basketball shows or podcast for the entertainment rather then the knowledge
I hope he does great in the league because Gil sounds insane right now😂
Lmao “sorry moving fast” oamL
Gil funny af😂😂 moving the hell out of the goal post😂
There are no players allowed to enter the league at 18. You have to be more than 1 out of high school so you have the be 19 at minimum.
So what if you graduate at 17 and do a post grad year , you can’t declare at 18?
Lots of players get drafted at 18. Holland this year I believe will be 18 when he is drafted.
@@lilshaan6252Unless you’re an international player, it’s hard to go to the NBA at age 18
@@nicknevins628Yea he will be drafted at 18 but he won’t be playing until he’s 19
Gil said are the owners complaining DUH
That's why they changed the HS rule
They don't play defense in the NBA. What is Gilbert talking about?
I think san Antonio should double down and go with the twin tower approach.
A. It would force the guard and wings to play through the bigs more, which they been icing out wemby all year smdh
B. Speaking of wemby, his ability to cover so much space defensively might be the perfect compliment to a interior big who "sits" paint defensively
C. Pop has a history of double bigs. (Rob/timmy, gasol/Aldridge)
That would be a deadly size advantage
I never seen Gil move the goal post as much as he did in this segment. Got absolutely cooked on this one 😂😂
Y'all not understanding what he is saying 😂😂
Is Gil really trying to convince us Gobert is 210 lbs?? I get he wants to exaggerate a little to help his argument, but c'mon man!! 😂😂
Edey going to Memphis perfect Steven Adams replacement
GA has a real basketball mindset. Miami is exactly who needs him & they will get the most out of him. I should know I’ve been watching every game for 20 years
Is there a restriction on how much you can play zone defense?
if walker kessler, valanciunas, sabonis, nurkic, vucevic, & zubac, & lopez can play in league then he can survive
edit: there’s a bunch of slow footed big men in the NBA starting in being good productive players. zach can make a similar transition to like these players I gave as an example.
U named players that are either elite defenders, great playmakers or great shooters. Edey is none of those things. The only similarity he has is being slow
none of them are 7’4, 300 pound post players.
Is Zach Edey was as good as Yao Ming like Rashad says? I didn’t watch the 2000s
He’s not as good as any of those players. He doesn’t pass well and he has no moves
People forget Brooke Lopez was just a post player early in his career and develop into a good defender and a stretch big plus broke Lopez at one point was playing around 300 pounds and now he plays around 280 to 285
Zach Edey can be a good role-play for a team. That’s just trying to fill the final pieces to the roster. He’s not a foundational franchise building piece.
Nowhere is Edey projected to be a lottery pick.😂 Why is buddy flat out lying??
He will be that size that production
you just SALTY cause is Canadian🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦😊😊😊
He's a lottery pick
Both ESPN and The Ringer have Edey in the lottery.
Actually he is now.
That’s the problem with the leak. They always want the youngest player and then act surprised when they play like a young player in the trade them after 2 to 3 years.
That's what I like about this talk show. Everyone's pretty nervous because it's not scripted
Comparing Bol Bol to Edey tells you everything you need to hear
Yeah, fr . 7’4 and 300 lbs. Any NBA team can use a big body like that. Especially with Wemby coming up, you’ll need big bodies like Zach to throw at Wemby.
If Bol Bol is so good like Shaq says how come he’s not a franchise player for any NBA team?
Is Zach Edey as good as Yao Ming like Rashad says? I didn’t watch the 2000s
Hell No!!!!
Nah.
@@reggied5222 😂Yo!!
No Yao was surprisingly quick and had moves on the block ,he had mid range and could pass , Ede doesn't have that much in his bag, but he could definitely learn I will say he can go 2nd round and become a star but it would take alot.
It took Yao about two seasons to
Part E. - Gilbert Arena has some points but “Watch” for these 3 Centers in college now! -> Purdue’s, Zach Eden 7’4, 300 lbs - Connecticut’s, Donovan Clingan 7’2, 280 lbs - and Florida Atlantic U., Vladislav Golden 7’1, 240 lbs ( If you know how to coach Centers, the future is bright! ) - end of low level transmission!
He SAID Yao Ming!! Lol.
The spurs pick him move wemby to the 4
If the Spurs draft him, this league is in trouble
this is genius
@@clutch.mastervi2658not genius , ur taking wemby out the paint most games cuz most 4’s play on the perimeter , Wemby is a center he just has to continue to get stronger , he is doing a great job rn btw as a 20 yr old
@@moneyman4740 I think Wemby would be better in a Tim Duncan PF role, David Robinson & Timmy D type duo
Twin Towers 2.0
I normally go with Gil but he is wrong on this one. Edey is going to be a lottery pick. You can't teach the size he has. He will not be dominate but he will be effective. His size along will put him in the lottery. He is not Shawn Bradley.
I'm not sure if he's going to be a lottery pick, but if he's not, it's a huge miscalculation by the scouts. Edey is breaking 70 year old college scoring, rebounding and shooting percentage records, and people talk like he should give up on NBA draft and go play overseas. I'm done with the 2020's.
He's been around NBA coaching and players already. In 2022 and 2023 he's played with Team Canada who had NBA coaches and NBA players, so he's familiar with that environment already.
Depending on what year you may only get one or 2 players who become good players in the league
