OT - Edey…

Yes I wouldn't say 59% is missing alot.
Perhaps Boiler fans are used to automatic from him....so not doing that standard ...is interpreted incorrectly.
That’s been dunks. His misses have been the little hooks that were automatic not just in college but also in the Summer & pre-season…
Small sample size. He will be Edey over the long term.
Kinda like Purdue's team. Haven't seen enough to know. Now Painter who watches everyday in practice.....he knows.
Nice line for him last night. If he can consistently stay on the court for 20+ minutes and come close to a double double on high efficiency that’s a really nice rookie season.
This is also the first time playing in some of these arenas so as time goes on his comfort level with everything will continue to increase. still has a high ceiling in the NBA if he can stay healthy.
Didn’t miss this:
for sure. It seems the grizz have him on a mins restriction or something. They’re still learning how to play with/use Zach.
I don't watch this stuff but I put some money on Edey to win ROTY so I've kind of been tracking his progress through box scores.
I've been surprised how they start him but then he gets limited minutes the rest of the game. If I am remembering correctly, only in the opener was he in foul trouble.
I have read that they are trying to play faster this season which probably isn't where he is going to shine and also makes me wonder why they drafted him so high if that was the plan.
The good news is he is currently second place in ROTY odds at +500. Some foreign player I've never heard of is first right now at +300 so nobody appears to got off to a great start. If Edey can rnd up getting 24+ mpg I think he can put up the stats to win the award.

It's a lot different going up against a starting caliber NBA center every night. He will figure it out, but it's also different when you're not just fed the ball on the block for a whole game. You don't have that kind of rhythm.
I think he’s been fine actually against centers (obviously the first game he found out how diff it was) and he’s been playing pretty well against guards when he switches. But it think the last part you mention is the key. They aren’t playing through him/dont fully understand how to use him. Not sure if they ever will but def agree on that last part you mention.
