reed does it all, he's a good stealer, rebounder and passer w/great court vision. he's far better than Tyler Herro was out of college

If we talking about Reed Sheppard and Dalton Knecht being top 5-7 players don’t tell me Edey can’t be in the top 10 conversation
This is huge for Bronny
Funny but I believe as part of the new CBA they changed the rules requiring all players to participate in the combine if they want to enter the draft unless they have an excused absence. Only thing they're allowed to opt out of is the 5-on-5 scrimmages.
Teams were frustrated at the amount of guys only going to the Combine to do interviews and ducking the drills/medicals, or guys not showing up at all.
Why are Edeys combine numbers better than Brooks theni don't think people are really grasping the athleticism gap between brook lopez and edey
Apparently Bronny is having a great combine right now

I thought the same thing, they must be thinking of current Lopez, I remember Lopez coming out Standford he was a lot more athletic than Edey is rn, Lopez wasn’t a 3 point shooter at all thoi don't think people are really grasping the athleticism gap between brook lopez and edey

I joke about it, but the way he closes.....he looks like a football player out there. And I mean that as a complement. Word to James Jones.
Edey has better lane agility, sprint, and vert numbers despite being significantly taller, heavier, and with a massive difference in wingspan and standing reach
It's the same dumb stuff ppl who don't watch Edey have repeated for the last several years. Ppl just watched clips of him bullying ppl around the rim and made the assumption he can't move because he's gigantic
Ppl who actually watched him regularly know that to move the way he does at his size is an anomaly.
He's a better athlete than Lopez was at his age. Or Gobert. Or most any drop big

Teague is a scout for the Hawks now. Bruh just predicted the following to happen this summer...
- Hawks send Murray to New Orleans for Brandon Ingram. Straight-up.
- Hawks trade the #1 pick and DeAndre Hunter to Brooklyn for Mikal Bridges.

Clint, Jalen Johnson, Ingram, Bridges, Trae would be interesting...

Nets aren't trading Bridges for that trash
They were talking on Simmons show today how little value that #1 overall pick holds this year. They said it's more like a 10th pick with how shytty this draft is. You only gonna get like a 4th starter for that, like a Lu Dort level player
