Watching Edey out there, it’s like watching baby Yao. I can see echoes of Yao’s touch around the rim in Edey’s game. He really reminds me of that classic archetype of centers who can grow into legitimate shot creators. And of course due to the height he’ll always be a strong rebounding and rim protecting presence. I was sleeping on Memphis but Edey is having me reconsider where I put them.
This is like when every random east Asian kid was called Yao on the playground in the 00s even if they didn’t really play like Yao.
