Nice breakdown. First off, Im a believer in Edey. I think he is unique in some ways, and that makes some scouts uncomfortable. But look where Jokic got drafted. Look at where marc gasol got drafted. There were lots of more *sure fire* centers on the board before them and none are iin the league. This is not a science ffs. Its experience and intuition--- Anyway, Edey is a smart kid, first, he is durable, he has an amazing work ethic. OK.... a couple thoughts. Where is jared McClain? (Filipowski is a bust). McClain is arguably the best shooter not named Sheppard. I dont like Knecht. First off, he is a poor defender. Not just below average, but bad. His age. And you could have McClain or Devin Carter. Now l love carter. I think his shooting is not as good as it seems (see his ff %) but his defense is outstanding (D Anthony Melton is a decent comp...but maybe better). Cody WIlliams has not shown he is an NBA player. I dont like his engine...or lackthereof. Stephan Castle is probably gone. But ron holland is intriguing. John HOllinger loves him. I sort of get it. The thing is, if he never improves his shooting you have drafted Nassir Little. Not worth a ten pick. I would look hard at Kyshawn George and at Johnny Furphy too. Both young and one has to be patient. But george is very seductive with that size.
