Sounds like one guy practiced and prepared for these type of drills and the other guy didn't. Kind of like Coulibaly last year.

Pretty insane that Edey can beat out someone like Sarr in any form of an agility drill. Idk if that’s a knock on Sarr or compliment for Edey though

Edey's stock is rising. Measure 7'3.5" barefoot and is looking good in the speed tests.

I would draft him at 21 without a doubt.

And Willie will switch him on to Shai on defense and expect him to play defense on the perimeter? Now what?

Rob Dillingham had some pretty terrible measurements.

6'1 barefoot 6'3 wingspan and 164 lbs. That's Kira Lewis type measurements

I believe Edey participated in the agility drill last year and did the same.

Someone is going to be drafting a 6th man in the top 10. He's a gifted offensive player but he's already shown to be a absolute turnstile on defense at the collegiate level.

Edey's agility drill was better than...

Trey Murphy and Naji Marshall

His numbers are a bit better this year. But it shouldn't sway people too much based on those numbers. The thing that want to see is if he has the upside to be a spacer. He's showing he can shoot it today.

He's always had a nice midrange in college. He just never had to shoot 3s cuz he was so dominant inside. I think Edey could grow into a stretch big in the league

ETA His form looks good in that video.

I wouldn't be surprised if he fully declared once the Lakers got word that the Pelicans are going to defer the pick.

Reed Shepard with a 42" vert. White boy got hops.

I love that kid. Reminds me of a VanVleet or taller Jose. He's small but he's such a good defender and can really shoot the shite out the ball.

Makes sense with how he kept blocking 3pt
Shots like he’s Herb.

his on ball perimeter defense needs a lot of work. Too many times see guys drive right past him with ease. But he does other things well defensively

Wasn’t it you in some other thread that he wasn’t athletic?
