Zach Edey Has More NBA Potential Than You Think | 2024 NBA Draft Scouting Report

Zach Edey, for the past two seasons, has been the most dominant player in college basketball. Recently being named the 2 time Naismith player of the year, which has only been done two other times in history, Edey has an individual college resume that stacks up well with anyone in at least the past 20 years. However, he has always been perceived as the type of player that does well in college, but won’t translate to the NBA. Last year, after his first college player of the year season, he tested out the NBA waters and found that his draft stock was somewhere in the mid 2nd, to not being drafted at all. This led him back to Purdue for one more year, but after this year, things seem to be changing. Most mock drafts have Edey going early 2nd at the latest, with some even going as far as putting him first round or even borderline lottery. So what has changed? Edey hasn’t significantly shifted his playing style, as he still is the same huge back to the basket big man he always was for the most part. Scouts have clearly been encouraged by something in his game however, so today, we are going to break down his game, the positives, the negatives, and finally, how I see him translating to the NBA, and if scouts truly are correct to upgrade Edey on their draft boards over last season.

Welcome to the channel! Over my life, I have developed a passion for diving deep into the stats, history, and play styles of various basketball players and teams, and in my opinion no better way to get those ideas out there than through rankings, compaarisons and tier lists.

I tend to discuss detailed breakdowns of individual players' strengths and weaknesses, their historical achievements, and their current performance on the court, to determine where they rank in the list in question.

The tier lists are carefully crafted to reflect the latest trends and developments in the league, and I always stay up to date with the latest news and analysis.
