YESSSSSSS!!!

KelEl to Miami? LOVE LOVE LOVE the fit

[Demo]

Kel ‘el stopping and just staring at the hat for a minute before he picked it up just killed me. So damned happy for that kid.

That would be valid(ish) if this draft wasn’t generationally bad. I just don’t get it. Who are these friggin’ guys?

If he ends up in LA….

He’s a really nice, quiet, sweet natured kid.

Im not sure he’ll turn out in the pros, but if he does he’s perfect next to Adebayo.

Edey goes No. 9 to the Grizz. 

Wow. 

Did not see that coming. 

 Neither you nor anyone else. Bad, bad decision, he will be at best a plodding big to throw at the rim, he will be routinely pulled outside and embarrassed in the League

A plodding big was also taken at 7 as well... Edey is just less plodding.

Remember when I said Filipikowski and Collier should have returned to school? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

Minnesota got, uh, explosive in the backcourt tonight. Dillingham and Shannon are bouncyyyy.

It's a really bad draft class.  But if you want to rank bad draft selections, Edey at 9 takes the cake.

If he's a bad pick at 9, then Clingan at 7 is?

Collier’s gonna be a 10 year starting PG in the League and it’s gonna be obvious almost immediately. Watch

Not as bad of a pick as Edey at 9.

Your "Edey is less plodding' than Clingan is laughable.

You think Edey moves better than Clingan?  Clingan can blitz ball screen. He can hedge and recover. He can hold up some when switched down . He can react and protect the rim from the weak side. He’s miles better than Edey in space.

The combine showed it when Edey was clearly more athletic in every drill.

Maybe. I just don't see it. Clearly other NBA didn't see it either. I'm thinking just another Dennis Smith Jr.

Interestingly enough ...for combine measurables, it's true! FWIW, KelEl kicked both of their ***** in pretty much every category and can hit many more types of NBA shots. Also interesting; even though Edey is taller and has a longer wingspan, Clingan has just as long of a measured vertical standing reach. Edey might have a little bit of Todd Lindeman long neck syndrome.

Edey had Clingan in all categories.

But Clingan was right near the absolute worst in every quickness/agility category.

1. Two thoughts - Quickness of reaction during a game is VERY different than times during a drill in a gym. "The mental is to the physical as four is to one." RMK. Edey has always had an issue with being tentative on defense. The mental quick-twitch matters too. Ware absolutely destroyed the other bigs in all quickness/agility drills, and while I think he is above average for his height, I thought Clingan was better at anchoring the defense.
2. Edey is a lurch-like ugly-@$$ Purdud mother****er who will be a complete bust because he will never be able to erase the Purdoo stink from his DNA.

A better pick.
