Second rounders are getting guaranteed contract more often these days
Is Edey Leaving or Not?
- Thread starter Purdue0023
- Start date
Bobinski has said he's already secured an NIL package to keep Zach here if he decides to stay.
This was a few weeks ago.
Maybe, maybe not. Our style was built for teams that have true bigs. Duke, Zags, Tennessee, Kentucky, Arizona. Most top programs have a flex/5, but not all can shoot mid range shots ala TJD, Timme(sometimes), Lively, Tshiebwe, etc. Our problem is we don't have an advantage with athletic guards/wings that force you to play their style.
Not sure there is a beneficial case for him to come back.
From a business standpoint he can make bank in Europe, far beyond any NIL package the school can put together. From a college career perspective, he would be playing with the same supporting staff and the same coach. I do not believe a deeper run in the tournament or another season of NPOY buzz means that much to him.
If he were my son, I would tell him it is time to get paid. Godspeed, Zach. It has been a great ride.

And what TJD/Timme lack in outside shooting they make up for it by being facilitators. TJD can run the floor with the ball and initiate the offense. I think TKR or Furst would have that ability if they put in the work in the off-season.
Or if Painter allowed them, but he’s too rigid of a thinker. I’d transfer if I was Furst.
I feel like Furst wasn’t used effectively and Painter should have run more action to get him going. I also think his drop off in shooting hurt him this year.
I dont follow Euroball. But is it a sure thing that he would make bank in Europe? I would think those high level Euro teams would have a pretty good pool of players that have played in the NBA to choose from. Also aren't Euro centers more like Berg? Again I don't follow Euro ball, but it kind of sounds like folks are just throwing it out there like there's some huge contract with Edey's name on it.
Looked the other day. 11 of the 30 second round draft picks from 2020 are still in the league
Kalkbrenner is a very versatile Center, decent 3 pt shooter, nice midrange, and athletic
your last sentence, who's fault is that, other than lobs his hands are suspect, fumbles alot of passes, doesn't have a fade away ala McKale, seems like a shaky player. Hopefully he improves next year esp if Zack moves on. Sorry this was a reply to Beef's comment
A little bird told me the NIL deal would be equivalent to the minimum NBA contract.
It’s obvious, to me, that his mom didn’t retire and buy a place in West Lafayette on their personal savings. In other words the Edeys seem to be already getting some NIL income.
Everything, but the 3 pt shooting just doesn't shoot it that much.
I'll take a really efficient, dominant Zach any day. It's not Zach's fault that others can't stay with their man on defense or hit open shots that he provided from the triple team. Early in the season this was happening and we dominated teams. We need slashers and gamers with Zach.
