Zach Edey Conundrum - Could Edey be the next great Atlanta Hawk or is he the next Cam Reddish

[NBASupes]

But but Clingan better

Edey dominating on both ends 

[REHawksFan]

It feels like Edey could block every shot attempt in the paint if he wants to. Half the time he doesn't even contest, but when he does....woo boy. Block party.

And offensively, I've see enough different moves to believe he's not solely a post up player with one move. He's been impressive. 

Maybe too impressive for the Hawks.

The way he's playing man. Be elite but not this damn elite. Save it for the Hawks, Zach.

I also wonder how much better he can be if he's only playing 28-30 min a game instead of 38-40 he's playing now.

I wish I had enough energy to make it through, gee whiz.

I've been thinking about this. Deeper they go in the tourney, more likely a scrub team takes a chance...if nothing else to sell tickets and jerseys.

He's definitely gassed right now.

Goodness, we can't afford Edey to be out the game for 20 seconds

This is what I've been saying. They don't even make the tourney without him. They are that small.

UCONN got better players at every position but center. Smith and Castle is close for this level Smith being a tad better and Castle being superior talent wise but the rest is obvious. Newton is better than Jones. Spencer is way better than Loyer. Kanaban is better than Gillis and Kaufman-Renn. Purdue gotta play better if they want to win. Way better because they aren't as good as UCONN

UCONN plan is to run Edey out the building and pull away late. Seems to be their strength anyway. Will be interesting to see how Edey handles it in the 2nd half.

Braden Smith is such a weak ball handler bringing the ball up. He takes way too long getting Purdue into their sets. His shooting is saving him right now.

So small. Easy block.

He's gotta be a lot better man. That PnR pass was so f***ing awful.

Into 2 men. Either could have stolen that.

I'm struggling tonight. Might check out on this early and watch the end in the morning before checking scores.

Half time show just highlighted the huge disparity in the guards.

We all knew that coming in but damn. Loyer and Jones have to be better.
