You should actually watch his run.  Clunky isn't the word to describe it.  It's the most unathletic looking run I think I've ever seen.  Also, his agility lane drill looked like shit.  He can't keep his head up and do it.  I think it's because he has to be looking where he's going or else he's going to bust his ass open on the floor.  

He's lacks fluidity, he's still effective athletically just looking at the results.

I mean look at this:

Did they start the clock halfway through the run?

That’s not what the numbers say at his size but ok

I think Sarr is the goods. Measurables compare favorably to Giannis except Sarr is a better shooter.

His transition handle and ability to make passes is legit. His hip fluidity is elite. He is a modern big that can fit any scheme/style. He can play next to JJ. He can play with Trae. He can be on the court with non shooters, he can grab and go off the glass. 

Im sold. Sign me up. 

[HawkingAwesome]

you don't get edey for chasedown blocks you draft him to be an absolute wall to wear down skinnies

also to protect your athletes

You are categorical incorrect. He had great testing at the combine.

[KB21]

Imagine watching that guy run and thinking that it’s impressive.  

[KB21]

I do think Kel’el Ware and Yves Missi have solidified themselves as the 3rd and 4th bigs off the board behind Sarr and Clingan.  

[deester11]

Are people really thinking Edey at close to 1? If you say lottery I see..but he and Clingan aren't close to intriguing enough to trade down or otherwise.  Plodding centers (testing notwithstanding) are an eventual albatross.   I say this because Sarr is or should be the play.

I'm not knocking anyone based off the testing. Some good things from Edey. But he nor anyone else moved me away from Sarr.

No one in their right mind is thinking that.  He’s not a lottery pick either.

So what you thinkin', Tray for Edey?

Veggie tray, that is.

Hyuk, hyuk ..

Combine:

Who came in shorter than expected?

Who had terrible wing span measurements?

Who had great surprising measurement?

Edey is a center. Some of us want Edey. We don't want another 4/big wing. We got Gueye, Bey, and JJ

That said, we all know we taking Sarr.

There is something to this. It could be something as small as Trae doesn't want to send the wrong message or the Hawks and Trae talking it out.

Heard Trae (or maybe his representation, wasn't clear) is meeting with the org today to discuss the future fwiw
