Draft prospect: Zach Edey, C, Purdue

I certainly wouldn't expect him to be our primary center. I am just saying that given how weak this draft is, he will likely go in the first

And I wouldn’t be upset if we took him. I like the guy and want to see him prove the doubters wrong, and have a nice long career.

I was telling Ms. Caliente the other night that it is crazy how pro basketball works. Both Edy and the center from UConn are 7’2+, however neither guy is a highly coveted draft prospect in today’s NBA. It used to be height was all you needed, however now, if a center cant move quickly, or shoot > 15 ft from the basket, then he is considered useless in today’s NBA. 15-20 years ago that wasn’t the case.
