I am pretty sure that's who you want him to be.

Not Cherokee Parks?

So with one guy saying he will be picked at 10 and the other at 20-25, what do you guys think about an over under 17 bet?  He goes 1-16 Supes wins.  He goes 18+ KB wins.  17 is a push.

Rather than relying on the opinions of writers or posters, that will be ultimately relying on actual NBA GMs.  Seems like a better way to resolve the argument.

What do I get when I win?

Eddy’s current over under for draft position in Vegas is 20.5.

You can dress him up however you want.  It’s not going to change the fact that he’s slow and has no explosive athletic ability.  

You mean like Artis Gilmore?

I honestly can't tell you how much Edey reminds me of him.

Queue @KG01 saying, "D@MN you're old!"

That’s A-Train’s jersey in my avatar!

And I can’t think of one word. I guess this season has led me speechless.

Naw, you're 'old' because you don't know how to do @-mentions.  

My pops was in school down in Jacksonville while Gilmore was down there, so he tells me.  Always tells me how great he was. 

[KB21]

Gilmore would not make it in today's NBA, and even he is more athletic than Edey.

The days of the plodding big dominating the NBA are over and have been over for a while.

Gilmore was slow, plodding and won his nightly battles on strength and positioning.  When he came out of college, he had similar criticisms.  By the end of of his career he was so slow, his nickname was Rigor-artis. Edey is actually more athletic and 60lbs heavier, 2 inches taller.  Growing up a Bulls fan, I saw Gilmore at the middle and end of his career.  They are very similar players and despite being relatively clumsy, Gilmore would thrive today based on his dedication to footwork and positioning. Modern players don't really appreciate how useful that is.
