I like the Edey pick. I’m not worried about the paint clog. We had Adams for 2 years and Ja got better. Edey will come off the bench aswell so I love the pick even more. Ja also has been working on his midrange a lot
Yeah seems like he didn't think about the pick and roll. Space created that way. As well as the "Gortat" screen potential. Adams helped Ja and Jaren thrive, I think Edey can fill a similar role. We'll have to see!
The problem you have with Zach Edey is wild. Ja played his best basketball with Steven Adams, a guy who can't do much outside the key. Teach Edey how to set picks and crash the key at an NBA level like Adams can, and he's the perfect fit next to Ja. Dude is 7'4, 300 pounds, and can get rebounds at will. I'd agree that there's a risk with how he adjusts to the NBA since he's a very old school build, but when it comes to what Memphis needed from this draft then he was the best option available. A big body, that can get rebounds, and can physically clear the key for Ja.
I agree, SROS has been a Edey hater for the whole draft process. He loves to put Edey on the thumbnail. I'm not saying Edey will dominate but how can you have such a different reaction to Donovan Clingan
Cody Williams healthiest 11 game stretch early in year of 24 he played he averaged 16.5ppg on 61% from the field and 56% from 3. His injuries were pretty significant especially the ankle at the end he shouldn’t have played on and slowed him down but he had much success as an underweight freshman and he has very good physical tools and the blueprint for NBA success from his brother I disagree with the idea he has high bust potential
He is like every average player on this list this year, i see maximum 6 players can be someone on NBA: sarr, shepperd, buzelis, Holland, dillinghan,clingan. Castle has no shoot, collier looks like average player,edey is to weak on nba, mcain Has only shoot worse version of huerter, risacher will be disaster i dont understand how can be that high i see how he play he is tall and Has good balance that's all no spacing no atlethcism, average defend, no efficient he is max 10 on this draft
Definitely see the reasoning behind Salaün being a reach for Charlotte but as a fan I liked the pick a lot. The new front office Jeff Peterson and coach charles Lee made it clear they were both super high on this kid from the get go and loved what they saw about his work ethic and shot and defensive ability so I’m gonna trust them. He was flying up the boards and was likely getting grabbed in the top 10 anyway imo so I respect the move taking a bigger risk on a raw prospect especially in a weak draft like this.
As a spurs fan the spurs would’ve picked him so them trading down and acquiring him wouldn’t have worked. When yall took him we traded the pick. That’s why it wasn’t announced before the draft. Congrats yall took our pick in salaun like we took y’all’s pick in castle.
There were rumors flying around that the Spurs wanted to take him at eight. I don’t know how legitimate those rumors are, but crazy to think of Wemby and Salaun on the same team if Salaun pans out.
@@Haybud I think that trade being done during the pick proved they wanted either salaun or clingan to fall to them or they’re gearing up for a huge trade
With the Edey space issue you have to remember Steven Adams was the same thing while being more limited offensively, Ja was still dominant, these big guys just work with him
As a Bulls fans I loved this pick. I am also very high on his upside, and the bonus fact that he is from Chi-Town just makes him more motivated and ready to put in work. I mean he showed the most emotion out of anyone at the draft when his named was called. Just crossing my fingers that the Bulls don't ruin Matas's development as that would the most Bulls thing ever.
Twice you have said Maimi needed a guard or wing. Bam has been an undersized center his whole career but still in DPOY convos. We need a true big to put Bam at PF. Especially against Boston we need Bam on Tatum not wasted on Porzingas. We needed a true center, we can't keep playing small.
@@justinalley3399 because he's been asked to always play center. He would thrive with a true big man next to him. Jockic shouldn't be his responsibility.
@@Coltsfootball808No, hes not a PF because he does not possess a PF skill set. He's a center and yes, a "true" big man. As for Joker, are you under the impression that other centers effectively guard this man? I dont really get this comment but i will highlight that youd probably actually want to go with a PF against Joker. Not that its this simple either way, but for the sake of your concern we can highlight that.
I’ve become more accepting of the Topic pick a day after. He’ll replace the main facilitator of the bench unit role that Giddey refused. The Thunder’s second unit needed play creating, so Topic should help with that. Presti has until October to fill gaps at the starting 4 and backup 5 spots, but free agency is coming soon. We’ll see!
Yeah it's not exciting getting someone who won't play but it's fine. I honestly see it as just getting potentially the most valuable asset they could and I expect him to be traded before he gets extended off his rookie deal.
If other Thunder fans gotta get used to one thing it’s not seeing the draft as the main event for our offseason anymore. We were just the #1 seed, we’re not in the phase of needing to make a huge splash to find the next piece of our core in the draft anymore. The Topic pick was perfect, highest value there at 12 by a landslide with his potential and it gives more flexibility and options in the future
@@Flamerunner451thunder fans are delusion. You’re not a free agency destination team. Drafting Tyler smith , or filipkowshi would have kept you as the number 1 seed. They still need size and rebounding. This isn’t even that good of free agency market
@@mrawesome7175 a whole lot of teams also could’ve picked Flip but he clearly slid for a reason. And the size and rebounding difference isn’t at all why we lost to the Mavs, no idea when people are gonna get that through their heads
I get the concerns with Edey, but to be honest, Memphis is probably be the best possible fit for him. Also, Ja thrives with a hard screening big man on the court. And on defense if he does get beat from time to time there are guys like Jaren Jackson, Vince Williams Jr. and Marcus Smart to cover for him. Love this pick.
Hi! I strongly disagree about Risacher. For sure he will have a big impact immediately. His ability to knock down 3s and to defend multiple possition will be a huge asset for the Hawks. At least he will be a great starter for a championship team, the only question is about his ceiling
About the Edey spacing issues with Memphis. In their defense they can have Edey set off ball screens on the perimeter for shooters in order to create defensive rotation
Hey Matt I know you’re not a heat fan so you may not see much of it. But Bam doesn’t want to play Center as much. He wants to play his true position as a PF, assuming this is why Miami opted into drafting ware.
@@SiriusBlack-wh6uh That’s y u have trainers to help u bulk up eat more and workout more that’s what Chet KD Victor Giannis Curry and etc that’s how good nba trainers are
Regarding the Hornets pick, unfortunately, I heard they had a deal with Portland to swap pics and get another pick in exchange, but then Woj and his boys decided to leak that the hornets were definitely taking Salaun so the Blazers pulled their trade. Also, Memphis just wanted a straight up swap of six and nine with no draft capital and couldn’t get a deal done. So the Hornets went and got their guy. If that’s the guy they want, I’m fine with it.
NGL i like the reasoning but the actual grades feel random. Felt like out of the top ten no one was getting A grades just A- even though you really liked the pick. Ik the actual grades aren't that important, but it did feel kind of random and arbitrary as the reasoning didn't always line up with the grade.
I absolutely love the Edey pick the grizzlies need some new man who can run the floor and go along side Steven Adam’s. I’m so glad they got him I loved him in college
Wizards the big winners of this draft for me. Got Sarr, got future picks and also got Malcom Brogdon and Bub Carington. S tier draft. Other winners IMO are Rockets and Utah Jazz. Biggest player winner is Dalton Knecht. Gets to the perfect situation with AD/Lebron/JJ Reddick and to a marquee team like the Lakers.
4:44 I’m a Hornets fan and I’m very excited to see how Tidjane Sulaün develops. The players I was eyeing all year were Matas Buzelis, Ron Holland, and Cody Williams. But I am very intrigued by what Tidjane could become.
With Edey he will be fine with Ja, especially with the pick and roll. Perimeter defense is still a question but the block on Knecht in the elite eight shows he can move and has great body control when he needs to. Especially with his work ethic, I think he is more versatile than people think because at Purdue he had a role and played it perfectly. He’s efficient and draws fouls without flopping and can imagine him developing into a 15pt/8-10reb a night guy.
When i first heard about Sarr's game, i really liked what people were saying, but the guy doesnt want to play center despite being over 7 feet. He shot 48% on layups and 27% from 3. He has absolutely no offensive game. Players like that wash out of the league at an alarming rate
@kingdinodragonite3470 I want to be clear. I'm not saying 48% from 2 or a 48% FG%, I'm saying 48% on layups. That's like 20% below NBA rates. He's abominable at finishing
Intersting point about Donovan Clingan. The press in Israel interviewed some candidates before the draft. As a small country with one NBA player, one of the questions was on Deni (yes, they are idiots and unprofessionals). Clingan is the only player, that was very specific and talked about moves he can run with Deni. It's mean, he probably has learnt every team and thought on ways he can play better there. I don't think there are a lot of players that have ever done that.
The B+ for the Bulls pick is a little generous. When you have a lottery pick, and you’re in rebuild mode (like the Bulls should be) you should find the playmaker or scorer you can build around first Bc that’s the hardest skill set to find. Buzelis’ weaknesses are dribbling and shooting. His strengths are rim protection, off-ball defense, and cutting without the ball. Those are the last skillsets you acquire to fill out the roster after you have your starting 5. I’m not saying he can’t be a productive player, just saying he has the skillset to match a win-now roster. Not a rebuild.
Miami in my opinion aleast should be an A since they really needed bigs since their size is not the best against the other teams and he will be able to bring bam to pf, which us Heat fans I think needed.
ive always wondered why they made bam play the 5? Im not a heat fan but theres no reason he shoukd be mismatched (sizewise) every game. I know hes capable but i know hed be a much mire impactful player if he was able to roam
You probably wont respond, but who do you think Orlando should have selected at 18? With Knecht and Carrington out of the board, I think Tristan was the best pick.
It seems like Sarr didn't want to play at center and only wanted to play PF where the Hawks are very bought in to Jalen Johnson. He also wanted to be the offensive center piece which he wouldn't have been in Atlanta. On the other hand the Hawks were also not in love with Sarr anyways and got the player they wanted in Risacher.
as a blazer fan so happy we got deni. wizards definitely wouldn’t have traded him but 2 firsts and 2 seconds? and malcom brogdan? that’s pretty much much 3 firsts and 2 seconds minimum for deni. i think that’s a good trade for both teams.
The crazy thing is that the kings traded davion Mitchell today and Devin Carter is like davion but with better potential and more has more athleticism and I feel like Jared McCain could start and Dalton Knecht
Why didn’t the Pels take Filipowski? They get to let go of Val in FA who just doesn’t work with Zion, Good sized defender who can move and space the floor is exactly what zion needs, not Missi who’s strictly there for defense
You don’t like the fit TDS with the Magic? That’s insane. He’s been mocked and wished by most fans. He’s the perfect Ingles replacement, checks all the boxes!! Ain’t nobody available who would have been a better fit at 18.. Knecht would have been nice, but gone. Walter? We will integrate Howard next season, same role. So i don’t exactly know what you mean. TDS is a A for the Magic
The thing about Ware is the has been rumors about Miami wanting to put Bam at the 4 so we needed a good Big to replace Bam cause if we get a good big Bam wont have to put all his energy on Defense and will get help on Defense and he can put more focus Offense now and can potentially get better at shooting the 3
You just have to wait for 6 months before you decide to give them grades! Wearing a gypsy fortune teller attire would be more believable or suited to this show. 😂🤣 ✌️
If you are going to make the point of Edey clogging up the paint but not mention Steven Adams working successfully in Memphis then your point falls flat.
10:03 Bam isnt a good center but he is a great Power Forwards so Bam move to 4 and Kele were will play at 5 We need a real big man and Kele ware is a great pick up i guess A- my opinion ❤🙏 i need to see Herro trade too😂
I’m a die hard hornets fan and watched a lot of film on saluan and i think he has a top 3 ceiling in the draft but im worried about how the hornets will develop him
i dont think salaun would have been available at 9, as a lot of people had him going no8 to the spurs, that is maybe why they didn't trade down for him
We all know why Sarr didn't want to go to Atlanta. They made the Conference Finals, got more talented yet have only gone backwards. Clearly there's something dysfunctional with that franchise.
Sarr sucks 😂😂😂😂 the dysfunctional franchise obviously made the right decision. Skipped out on a drama queen with no offensive game in Sarr yet wants to be catered to as a #1 option. That kid sucks.
Sarr played in Atlanta for a while with OT Elite.. Hawks knew everything about this kid.. No need for a private workout when they didnt like him.. lol..
Did you forget that Memphis an Ja thrived when they had Steven Adams. Edey can be there new Stevo, plus he's a better scorer than Adams was. Its a win for Memphis imo. Everbodys so focused on what he cant do instead of focusing on what he can do. The Memphis players are happy with the pick, thats all that matters. I cant wait for Edey an the Grizz to prove all there haters an critics wrong. Lets go Grizz Nation!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
I like the Edey pick. I’m not worried about the paint clog. We had Adams for 2 years and Ja got better. Edey will come off the bench aswell so I love the pick even more. Ja also has been working on his midrange a lot

His biggest question marks are on the defensive end
Older Steven Adams vs young Zach E in any type of race or agility test. Older S.Adams kicks his @$$.
i thought similarly to him on draft night but u make a really good point im excited to see how it goes
U do realize Zach has a j right? He did better from 3 at the combine than Alex sarr and others.

Knecht would have been nice, but gone. Walter? We will integrate Howard next season, same role.
So i don’t exactly know what you mean. TDS is a A for the Magic
Why do people forget Steven Adams was in Memphis and had a very similar play style to Zach Edey
I would have thought Memphis would have selected Devin Carter. That's who I had them taking in my mock.
The thing about Ware is the has been rumors about Miami wanting to put Bam at the 4 so we needed a good Big to replace Bam cause if we get a good big Bam wont have to put all his energy on Defense and will get help on Defense and he can put more focus Offense now and can potentially get better at shooting the 3
The allegations are still under review so you shouldn’t be defamatory comments like this you could get sued
You just have to wait for 6 months before you decide to give them grades! Wearing a gypsy fortune teller attire would be more believable or suited to this show. 😂🤣
✌️
You want him to buy a costume what in the world
@@MatthewAndrewDrake amen 🤣
Ron Holland gonna be a Stanley Johnson like type of player or Jaylen Brown type of player no in between
u should do a top 10 players each position series then a top 30 players in the league vid
Love ur videos. But I'm a casual when it comes to college games. Only thing I would like is if u mentioned their positions cause I felt lost watching.
If you are going to make the point of Edey clogging up the paint but not mention Steven Adams working successfully in Memphis then your point falls flat.
Zaccharie Risacher was picked over Sarr since the was some conflict between Sarr and the Hawks
i think getting matas was a STEAL at 11, didnt think the bulls were smart enough to draft him lol
Dalton reminds me of Wally szcerbiak
6:39 I think ja can still play his game. We saw with Ant who had Rudy can still play his game in the playoffs
10:03 Bam isnt a good center but he is a great Power Forwards
so Bam move to 4 and Kele were will play at 5
We need a real big man and Kele ware is a great pick up i guess
A- my opinion
❤🙏
i need to see Herro trade too😂
Never watched anything of Rob dillingham is he good? Could he avg 10? All im asking.
The hawks did the best with risacher. They couldn't pick sarr and I think risacher is a good fit in Atlanta. A classic 3&D guy with size
I bet Zacc has a better career than Sarr
I bet you are wrong
I’m a die hard hornets fan and watched a lot of film on saluan and i think he has a top 3 ceiling in the draft but im worried about how the hornets will develop him
i dont think salaun would have been available at 9, as a lot of people had him going no8 to the spurs, that is maybe why they didn't trade down for him
The Zach edey hate is so weird. Ja has always had post centric Centers. Hes NEVER had a non post centric center. Vala then Steven Adams now Edey.
Bro just got traded to the spurs in the second round, I can’t believe Juan Nunez has a UA-cam channel
Sros are you going into scouting?
Haha I wish
Gonna look back on this in a few years when Aj is an all star
What about Ja
who is watching this in 2026
ron gonna show the world he actually got drafted too late‼️
We all know why Sarr didn't want to go to Atlanta. They made the Conference Finals, got more talented yet have only gone backwards. Clearly there's something dysfunctional with that franchise.
Sarr sucks 😂😂😂😂 the dysfunctional franchise obviously made the right decision. Skipped out on a drama queen with no offensive game in Sarr yet wants to be catered to as a #1 option. That kid sucks.
Hawks are backed up on Bigs thats why Sarr didn’t go
as a kings fan i wish we would’ve picked up a wing or mccain
Sarr played in Atlanta for a while with OT Elite.. Hawks knew everything about this kid.. No need for a private workout when they didnt like him.. lol..
Nice to see you get drafted 12th overall. Thunder Up!!!
The fact you don’t like caris levert is crazy to me
He a good versatile player
The one I like the most is Stephon Castle to the Spurs. Him and Wembanyama will be great together.
Did you forget that Memphis an Ja thrived when they had Steven Adams. Edey can be there new Stevo, plus he's a better scorer than Adams was. Its a win for Memphis imo. Everbodys so focused on what he cant do instead of focusing on what he can do. The Memphis players are happy with the pick, thats all that matters. I cant wait for Edey an the Grizz to prove all there haters an critics wrong. Lets go Grizz Nation!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
I had a similar thought you’re a smart guy
I was going to lose my mind if Lakers took Bronny
They took bronny 😂
aged well
Do it for second round picks. Pacers won the draft
I think the spurs had by far the best draft I honestly expect them to go deep into the playoffs this year
How deep?????
I can’t believe we didn’t take Ryan Dunn as a bucks fan we need defense way more than we need playmaking
So it’s just what players you like vs which ones you don’t? Cool. I was expecting a little but more.
And that’s why Bronny James is the steal of the 2024 draft
2031 is so far away, is there a limit as to how far a team can trade away the pick? Like can they trade a 2050 first round pick?
