Man that would suck.
I actually want them to pick Zach Edey. Think everyone's down on him. I don't think he's fast enough for the NBA but think he'd be a solid 2nd unit center and if he played with AD side by side they could dominate the paint with Le Bron on the bench. I think it would mean LA could always have a large front line with AD/LBJ, AD/Edey and LBJ Edey.
He doesn't have great hands. But I also like how he's improved. He was a 3 star recruit. Not a starter at Purdue. Then a two time national player of the year. Then someone who couldn't win the big one and then leads Purdue to the CG. I think he's a worker and serious about his craft.
I don't see him being a legend but at his size he has a lot of room to work with to disrupt things down below and shots Just not sure how bad his slowness will hurt him. If he turned out to be far more than expected, then LA could deal AD off for picks hwile AD still has value.
Edey's best attribute is that he's not Bronny. BTW, Edey is projected to go 15-20 so this isn't just me speculating. It's a legit area to be talking for him
