Zachille! Love the comp
Zhaq!
He's a 7' 4" Zach Randolph. I call him Z-Do
100% agree Zach's gonna be way better than JV. He's gonna be a Wilt Chamberlain - Yao Ming hybrid. I don't think he'll quite have Shaq's power but he'll make up for it with more of a halfway point between Yao's slow finesse and length, and Wilt's overall athleticism.
Did you know, Edey is the first draft prospect since Shaq went #1 overall in 1992 at 7' 1" or taller to post 750+ pts. in a college season. The only other guys to do it: Wilt, Kareem, and David Robinson, all #1 picks, HoFers, and multiple title winners. And Edey's 983 pts in college is 80 points above all those guys, against arguably better defenses.
Also, Yao was averaging 38 ppg in Chinese league before going #1 in 2002. Another HoFer who probably wins some titles if he stayed healthy.
So literally we have not seen a player like this in over 10 years since Yao and Shaq retired.
It's not that Zach isn't ready for the NBA, it's more that the NBA isn't ready for Zach. He's coming into a league full of undersized bigs who are optimized for perimeter defense. He's going to eat all these little league smallball centers for lunch while having 30+ PPG, 15+ RPG, and 3+ BPG easy while fouling out the other team.
Dude is literally a Yao + Wilt hybrid. Every GM who passes on him will be fired within 3 years, guaranteed.
Stop ruining the videos with the thumbnail
I think 5 years from now if Shaq made a comeback I believe your Edey comp would be money
Fellas, your trying too hard for an Edey comp. He's a throwback. Rick Smits is the comp. Only better.
Zach Edey looks like a taller Bryant Reeves, at least in what I've seen from him. When i say Reeves, I'm talking prime Reeves.
People underrate just how good Boban would be with modest improvements to his athleticism and stamina. But it's also worth noting that he only played over 20 mpg in Europe one season, so he's never been a big minutes guy.
I would say a less talented Yao Ming. Yao had more post moves and he had a sweet mid range shot. He was also slightly more nimble.
Hahaha it’s the lakers Shaq
Worst case scenario is Older Sabonis Best Case Robin Lopez
You know that's not true. Robin Lopez sucks. Edey has next-level size & skill. His average outcome is likely better.
@@bernman23 I'm thinking of Brook Lopez not Robin Lopez
Cater get your boi lol
Shaq was an all time quickness & strength for a 7’
Zach improvement and work ethic is HOF
i see edey being more of a zubac type of player he’s already 22 so theres a good chance hes already bout as good as he’s gonna be granted there will be a little growth in his game but not much so i don’t see him being shaq but i think he could definitely be a zubac type of role player
So what hes 22? Hes only played basketball for 7 years. Hes improved every year. Your armchair evaluation is exactly that..
@@brianstidd1164 don’t get all mad buddy we could argue on the situation all day but there’s no sense in it this is my opinion and you have yours have a good day
YAO MING
