Edey has improved! Instead of 6 fouls in 15 minutes, tonight he’s committed 4 fouls in 16 minutes.

Memphis was the original NBA analytics org so I’m sure their Edey profile fits where they’re going, but, man, I don’t know how his defense holds up. Every team’s got 3-4 guys who can do to him what JHS did. And he’s gonna put so much pressure on the tag defender. I just don’t see how you scheme around it.

TJD quietly shooting 100% from the field this week.

You have Jaren Jackson as a weak side defender.

Statmuse says it's Darryl Dawkins in 83-84. 386 fouls on the season. Played in 81 games averaging almost 30 mpg.

He’s running on the newfound excitement of actually being called for fouling people. It must be exhilarating.

Whoa. That’s about five fouls per full NBA game time for Dawkins, whereas so far Edey is only averaging… 13 fouls per full game time.

At least the Grizzlies are winning. They’re 2-1.

And Edey has a plus minus of -28.

Remember when Edey would play 35+ minutes in college games and get zero fouls, and we were told it was because he was too smart to foul? Good times.

And when he was just taking sooo much physical abuse from defenders who couldn't guard him? Sorry big fella. Nobody is going to beg for mercy for a 7'4" human in the NBA.

Every young player with NBA aspirations needs these words etched on to their brains. All these guys are great athletes. It’s skill development and work ethic, skill development and work ethic. Skill development and work ethic.

It looks like Isaiah Jackson may have tore his achilles last night, which would make the second Pacers bench big in the last ~10 days to do so. 

Nesmith also had a pretty nasty looking ankle injury last night. 

[Stuhoo]

Huge props to Edey—was dominant good last night and stayed on the court for 29 minutes

I am a firm believer that if Myles Turner wore a Dallas Mavericks jersey he'd be a top 25 player YoY.  Dude just balls out every year in his hometown/state lol

[KingPG21]

Been a rough first 2 weeks. Guess its been encouraging that we've gotten good stuff from Math and Walker. Hopefully Ty's shooting comes back. His free throw shooting is down too. 

[Demo]

 

For those who don’t feel like doing the math, that’s:

31.2 pts

13.9 rebs

11.6 assts

Most skilled post player ever. Unbelievable 

[HoosierCoop]

I was at the Pacers game last night and that 4th quarter was so refreshing.

Side note:  I really miss O.G.  That dude has a sneaky way of being at the right spot, always in control, and burns you for about 20 points.

Is this legit or did I fall for one?
