He's huge, he's Canadian, but is Zach Edey someone the Toronto Raptors should consider drafting?
In Episode 1654, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk about Canadian big man prospect and two-time National Player of the Year at Purdue Zach Edey and whether or not his polarizing game could be a fit with the Raptors -- or in the modern NBA in general. Off the top, Sean digs into the reasons why Edey might be a good pro, from his dexterous interiou touch to his incredible rebounding ability and his propensity for setting bone-crunching screens. Next, Sean examines the potential drawbacks to Edey's game and potential fit in Toronto, from his lack of a credible three-point shot, to his dependence on playing as a dropback, rim-protecting big man and the challenges with scheme versatility Edey might present to any team that drafts him. Plus, does he have the playmaking chops to handle the double teams that NBA teams are sure to send his way when he catches in in the post? Lastly, Sean assesses whether the Raptors would be justified in selecting Edey with the 19th-overall pick, how their usage of Jakob Poeltl could change to adapt to the arrival of Edey, and why ultimately there are other big men prospects who should be available at 19 who better address the Raptors' long term needs, as fun as an Edey success story in Toronto would be to watch unfold.
