I like the pick. As an aside, I was kind of surprised to see Edey go as high as he did.

Exactly!

3 months ago he was projected to go in the 2nd round.

His draft workout gave him a huge boost

Anyone who doesn't like the pick needs to say who they would've chosen instead. High-upside athletic center is about the best we could've hoped for given the circumstances.

Thoughts on the pick?

Looking forward to watching him play in the summer league.

I wasn't. I just watched a few Purdue games. No chance at 21.

I watched him thru the tourney, including beating my Vols. He definitely helped his stock there, but he'd often been projected as a second round pick. We shall see how his career unfolds...I will be watching at least as I'm a fan of the Grizzlies.

Since this is the ony draft thread... and I don't wanna start a new one... I hope Bronny goes undrafted so that he has a chip on his shoulder that allows him to be motivated to become and actual NBA caliber player and doesn't end up just a nepo baby that doesn't belong in the league.

Kyle Filipowski inexplicably went undrafted last night.... Pels needs to trade back into the draft today and go get him... He has the size, fit. and skills to actually help this team this year as a role player... Missi is a developmental rim running defender that will be lucky to see any mins this year outside of "Cody Zeller mins".

Agree completely. I would not have been upset if we took him at 21. He or Furphy are worth buying a 2nd IMO.

I think it's quite possible that the NBA scouts know something we don't. Big men that have the skill set he is supposed to have don't grow on trees...something has caused him to drop in what is considered a weak draft
