I don’t see Edey as being overly skilled. He’s powerful and good around the bucket, but I don’t know how effective he’ll be in the NBA.

He is not very skilled man. He just had the body type and size to give college players fits. And the refs reward him constantly. I'm not saying he isn't fouled a lot but he gets the benefit of the doubt a lot.He's both.
We used to have a guy who was 7'3" named Alleyne, and he was horrible. Largeness itself is not formula for success. Just as our three seven footers.
Got to give credit to Edey. He uses his physicality to produce and now his team is in the Final Four.
As I stated months ago, there is nothing special about him but his size and the refs reluctance to call fouls on him. He has nothing to offer the NBA. How could he even come close to guarding athletic NBA centers in a man defense?I don’t see Edey as being overly skilled. He’s powerful and good around the bucket, but I don’t know how effective he’ll be in the NBA.
Stay away from the treesJust don’t eat the fruit!!
If he played for UK, he would foul out of every game.Probably wont be a great NBA player but he would have easily been the best big at UK if he played for us. Imagine AB Tre Z or UGO trying to defend him. They would get tossed around like rag dolls.
Careful, you'll wake up "The Dude".Just don’t eat the fruit!!
I don't think he has ever been called for a lane violation.Edey looks good, but he needs to keep the ball higher. He got the ball taken away too often by smaller players. I am not sure how his game translates to the NBA, they don't let you park in the post for 20 seconds at the next level.
I don't know how tall you are. I'm 6'4" and I have played against my share of 5'8" guys who have no choice but to hack and shove and push. I don't call fouls because it's pickup games. Besides it was ("was" because I am old now) more fun to score on your buddies even when getting hacked.He's the Brady of college basketball.
Talented and protected.
I hate when both combine. Just like with Brady, I want to acknowledge and respect his skill set, but goodness. He gets so much protection you just can't like the guy.
Pretty sure the man finished with zero fouls today That’s protected.I don't know how tall you are.

I also have played in leagues against guys 6'10" whom I couldn't stop without doing the same. Even rec league refs called fouls, and could not complain as I knew I was guilty. My point is Edey gets abused and good refs will call the fouls. He isn't protected. He is just big, and he's good at using his height and strength.
The difference this year and some of last is he is not a liability at the foul line.
Ah they did get him with one? The ref who called that will have to apologize later.He shot 20 free throws and only committed 1 foul so he must be very nimble and light on his feet. Some type of ballerina.

There is no way someone who is as slow and big as he is can play almost the entire game and only foul once. The refs just let hm get away with fouls.He shot 20 free throws and only committed 1 foul so he must be very nimble and light on his feet. Some type of ballerina.

My Eden is good. She’s a little big but she’s not even 5 feet tall yet.I don’t see Edey as being overly skilled. He’s powerful and good around the bucket, but I don’t know how effective he’ll be in the NBA.
He gets the calls Cousins and College Shaq should have got. Instead they got the “he’s so much bigger so let teams even it out w physicality.” I honestly don’t mind him getting the calls bc if it’s a foul then call it, but consistency would be nice. Only other dude to get calls was the golden child Psycho T bc that’s bc he was a UNC guy and the medias fetish.He's the Brady of college basketball.

An oblique Steinbeck reference...you win the internet today!He's the one to the east.
That had a lot to do with the coach.This. If just being that huge was enough, then guys like Jared Carter and Shagari Alleyne would’ve been stars at UK.
But instead they were unplayably awful.
