    That 3 possession series by Jalen just changed the game. 2 baskets out of it, but should have been 3.
  2. thecampster
    They fooled around in that 1st quarter and found out that you can't look past any team in the NBA.
  3. thecampster
    A little loose with the ball but effort looks good.
  4. thecampster
    Settled in, hoping we don't look past these guys.

    Best comment of the entire thread (barring my own)!
  6. thecampster
    So no Bey in the lineup helps with that defensive rating. He was terrible at close outs.
  7. thecampster
    D@MN IT!!! you got me on my soapbox. Edit gets about 40 touches per game. Do you honestly think he's only gets fouled 9.6 times per game.

    come on....you could quite literally call a foul against whomever is guarding Edey every trip down the floor... This thread needs some honesty. I'll start. Zach Edey has some built in limitations (mobility, outside shooting and that big man fear he's too big for his feet to the take the pounding). The game is called different against players like Edey who are hacked, undercut, held, hooked on almost every attempt. When you are going to miss obvious calls that benefit a player, the whistle has to be loose going the other way as well. You can't call every time Edey breathes on someone if you are not going to call the 30 fouls against him that go uncalled every game.

    40/16 and fouled out 2 people.

    Those watching Brook Lopez vs the Hawks tonight and seeing the problem he's being. I'll remind you he's 3 inches shorter and 18lbs lighter than Edey.
  11. thecampster
    WTF? Vit is guarding Lopez?
  12. thecampster
    Its about time I got my flowers.

    People forget he never played basketball until 9th grade when he hit 6'10" and couldn't play hockey anymore. He didn't even learn to guard till his junior year in high school. He's kind of amazing when viewed through that lens.

    If you ever watched Bruno in college, his feet were glued to the lane.
  16. thecampster
    He gets hacked so much, refs get numb to it. People just hanging off of him on put back attempts.
  17. thecampster
    Not gonna lie, laziest game I've seen from him in a while. Quiet 11 point 1st half.
  18. thecampster
    Purdue v Gonzaga tipoff incoming. If you're watching, thread your impressions of Edey here.
  19. thecampster
    We'll lets be fair here too, there is bound to be the potential to package a pick + piece to move up from 18(ish) or the potential to pick something up and move down from 10.
  20. thecampster
    If we've done anything in this thread, we're going to push a lot of Squawkers to watch Purdue v Gonzaga tonight at @7:30 to take a real time look at Edey.
  21. thecampster
    DH 11 boards now.
  22. thecampster
    Checking in. Loving the effort again tonight.

    Everything you stated above is opinion and conjecture. Posting up is not obsolete. It happens every game still, 10-15 times per game. 2 points is 2 points. There are roughly 100 offensive possessions per game with team scoring roughly 115-120 ppg. That's 1.2 points per possession. Edey is a beast in post ups, lobs and put backs. Between his fg% in the post and and1's, his efficiency is closer to 1.5 points per possession or equivalent to a 50% 3 point shooter. Being a threat in the post frees up 3 point shooting (see Dwight Howard prime in Orlando). I really don't understand how you aren't seeing this. He is so impactful, his Purdue team probably wouldn't have even made the tourney without him. He is literally the difference been an NIT bid and a 1 seed in the field of 64.

    I think the dumbest comment I've heard thus far was the comparison to Tacko Fall. Fall senior year - 11.1/7.6 (AAC) Edey senior year - 24.5/12.1 (Big 10) They are not remotely the same player. Both are tall and that is where the similarities end.
  25. thecampster
    From a FT point generation perspective alone. Edey draws so many fouls, he's averaging almost 10 free throws a game. He's double/triple teamed most games and still shoots 62%. By just dumping the ball down to Edey, teams have to pick a poison. If they let him be single covered in the post, he'll convert 80% of the time (1.6 point/possession). If they drop a guard to double, you're giving Trae/DJM/Bogie or Matthews a wide open 3. How in the holy hell is that worse than OO?
