2024 NBA draft.who spoke with Sean Deveney of Heavy on Sports
“They like to post you up,” The assistant said. “The 3-pointers are what gets all the attention but they know how to get inside the defense and post you up. So, if you have a kid like Edey and he has all these drop-steps and moves and counters, they’re good with that, especially if you’re putting him on the floor for 15-18 minutes a game and just giving you a different look.”
Edey would likely slot into a deep bench role as a rookie, potentially fulfilling what we saw from Neemias Queta this season, except on a full-scale deal. His size and post-scoring would ensure the Celtics had a legitimate big-man prospect to develop. Furthermore, he would be entering the league as a polished product.
Still, there’s no guarantee Edey will be available so late in the draft. If he is, though, he could be a home run for the Celtics.
