2024 Draft Profile - Zach Edey

Kevin O'Connor - The Ringer - March 18th: "Massive center with a skill set that has transformed him from a fringe draft prospect to a potential lottery pick."

Jeff Zillgitt and Scooby Axson - USA Today - March 12th: "Edey is a bear to defend in the low post, and he may just win the college player of the year award. But in the NBA, is he mobile enough, especially defensively, to keep up with style and pace?"

Jonathan Wasserman - Bleacher Report - March 6th: " No college team has any creative answer for his size, power, footwork and touch in the lane. Scouts are still questioning how effective he’ll be against NBA 7-footers and whether Edey can move well enough defensively on a more spaced-out floor."

Jeremy Woo - ESPN - March 5th: "Some things will clearly translate: Edey is dominant within five feet of the basket, offers more mobility than most players his size and is extremely tough and competitive. But the pace of NBA games and emphasis on space and attacking matchups make him an acquired taste for some, due to questions about how well it translates to an expanded role."

NBA Draft Room - March 5th: "Edey is a superstar in college but there are question marks about his game translating to the NBA. Can he defend at the NBA level and keep up with the speed of the game?"
