catcheryea Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 idk if he's forgoing his eligibility or not but gg should definitely go back to school and transfer somewhere with an actual structure in place, learn how to play team basketball, show he can help win games and be coachable. next year is a much weaker class and he'd make way more money as a top 5 or 10 pick next year than going between 20 and 30 this year. what teams in that range will even give him the playing time to figure it out or have the patience to wait for him?

NYRaider Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Dariq Whitehead has entered the draft, I wish we would've been able to see him play more at Duke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRaider Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I'll be ecstatic if the Jazz somehow land Cason Wallace and Taylor Hendricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT14 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Am I wrong for thinking some team at the end of the first should take Edey? I don't get the 2nd round talk. Yes, the game is different today, but I feel like his size for 10-12 minutes a game could cause a ridiculous disruption. Plant him down low and let him alter shots.

He's going to get fried defending in space. Is 10-12 minutes as max upside really worth a FRP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With how many bottom end 1st rounders are wasted? Maybe. That's just how I envisioned year 1 was all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
