Ok, how about Bryant Reeves? The inspiration for my nickname when I played. I was basically an offensive lineman running around on a basketball floor. If nothing else, I smiled reminiscing about Big Country. 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not sure taking shots outside your wheelhouse is a great indicator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the chart was posted just to drive home the point that I'd basically never seen Edey shoot from more than 7 feet from the hoop... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TG on DHO or Zoom action is a nightmare. Downhill into the lane for that killer floater or a lob He played great on D last year blowing up handoffs and frustrating Purdue guards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kdug Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 1 hour ago, Stlboiler23 said: The argument was that when he’s more than 3 feet from the basket, he can’t shoot or get offensive rebounds which are both false. He can absolutely do both (and does them well). I think it’s both the size and skill. How many guys his size have the coordination, touch, footwork, stamina, endurance, etc? And yes Shaq would smoke Edey but so what? What an odd hypothetical. I’d agree with the rebounding, but his two point shooting outside of rim shots significantly drops off - as it does with every player. Here are Edey’s shooting splits via Bart torvik: Dunks: 48/49 (98.0%) Non-dunk rim shots: 39/55 (71.0%) Other 2 point shots: 40/93 (43.0%) I’m not 100% sure how he defines each grouping, but I’d imagined a rim shot would likely be in the ballpark of 5 feet or less. Regardless, his efficiency is not good outside of rim shots. Again, that’s normal for most players, but it’s not like Edey has magical touch that’s allowing him to hit 10 footers. He’s just really good at establishing deep post position, and getting rebounds which gets him right at the rim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've brought this up before and folks managed to find a way to say they wouldn't want him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoB2011 Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Edey will be the third player we've played this year that is Top 10 in KenPom POTY standings, the other two being Broome and Dickinson. We managed to force those two to have among their worst games of the year. Edey is a completely different beast, but that is encouraging. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reacher Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 12 hours ago, Steubenhoosier said: Edey gets so much attention because he is an anomaly. With the way the game is played now, he is the exception. Cannot imagine him being successful when the game was big man centric. He would have struggled v not only Shaq, but Hakeem, David Robinson, Duncan… basically any of the bigs when bigs were the focus of offenses. Edey is a slightly more skilled Bill Wennington. Wennington could shoot from 15 feet 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
