OO is definitely the starter going into next year though.  

Why wouldn't he have gotten more starts this year if that is the case?  CC was not playing well but OO only got to start when CC went down.  I wanted him to seize the starting role this year but I haven't seen it happen.

His latest injury also makes me think we need serious depth at the position if OO is the starter.  Missing ~30 games 3 out of 4 seasons is not good.

Edey is going to dominate Burns lol... that guy has fulfilled all his potential but he's not a special basketball talent.  My guess is NC state will be put away before half time.  Purdue has enough tape to not double Burns and let him kill you with passing and Edey will be able to handle him fine 1on1.  Love NC States run but I'll be shocked if they win the next one.

I’m not sold. Burns is a powerful dude who may surprise you in how he matches up with Edey. Stop him? No. Not at all. But I want to see if Edey is able to push his way around a bigger guy like that too.

So much Edey content, it's insane. I haven't had time to post all of it but it's a lot of good stuff read or listen to.

I can’t believe there is so much energy put into this discussion for a guy that has like 1/60 of a chance of getting drafted by the Hawks. 

Believe it or not…this thread is more interesting then our hawks currently 

[Vol4ever]

He is way too slow.

This is the best single draft prospect thread in Hawksquawk history. If there's still the HOF forum for threads this needs to be in it. Supes is giving a master class of facts. This is his best draft prospect breakdowns I have ever seen. Truly impressed, bro.

I think this thread is terrible.   Been the same people regurgitating the same opinions ad nauseum.  At this point just lock this thread and re-open it next year once Edey actually starts playing some NBA games and we all need a place to laugh []

You really are dedicated to this heel turn

I kinda want to draft Edey just so we can be the most hated team in the NBA.... even by our own fans....

I actually like Edey, but this immediately gave me DeJa'Vu of the Shabazz Napier to Miami debacle.

This just means that Lebron only watched the first minute of the Purdue game.

I was about to say this....I had to look up Napier's name as I couldn't remember.

When Edey becomes a 20/10 guy in the NBA, a lot of people will rightfully eat crow and say they were wrong.

It won't however stop them from being loud and wrong on the next guy.

Not sure how that will happen when he’s going to be a 10-15 mpg situational player.

I would laugh at this, but that's not allowed here.

Are you predicting this is his peak or his situation his first year or two?
