re: Zach Edey

I see a couple of issues with Edey for this team.
-He's not switchable and Willie Green always lean on smaller switchable bigs especially in the crunch.
-Willie wants to play fast. Not sure how fast you can play with Edey. I know what his combine measurements says but his game is half court oriented, methodical, and requires you to isolate him in the post. Fit with Z?
- We currently don't have a PG who can get him the ball. We had so much trouble getting Jonas the ball these past 3 seasons and even though Edey is bigger, I'm skeptical they'll suddenly be able to do it with any consistency unless they bring in a PG.
At the end of the day, it about the level of expectations. If all you want is a rotational big that may not be a factor in closing games, you'll be happy with him. But if you want a guy that compliments Zion and can play in crunch time with him, you might think we're wasting a pick.
FYI, we are probably going to defer the Lakers pick, so we're essentially only have 1 first round pick assuming we keep the pick.
