Zach Edey is still clay waiting to be molded. He’s a willing student that has a crazy abnormal body, work ethic supposedly, can shoot free throws, can pass, and has stamina to stay on the court for long stretches! Him and Wemby would be scary as hell together!! We would literally foul everyone out…..

I would like to see the Spurs draft him to play with Wemby two 7'4 centers , him and Wemby will create a dominant interior defense in the league, also go after a veteran point guard who been in the playoffs like Trae Young. I also believe the Spurs will be better next year and make a playoff run.

The problem with the rationale of Edey’s fit on the Spurs is that Wemby is better at the 5 than the 4. They tried playing him at the 4 with Zach Collins, and Wemby didn’t get unlocked until he moved to the 5. They need a stretch 4 to go along with Wemby a Bam Adebayo or Draymond type player (but taller) would be ideal

Shaq was 1at ballot HoF and you want to point to injury issues....OK. Edey is in phenomenal shape. He holds no more excess weight proportionally than any other player. He can also step out and hit jumpers, it simply was not asked of him in college. Edey is a stud at any level.

Great Idea! As a Spurs fan in San Antonio having a 7'4" big on the floor at all times would be a delight. When Wemby was getting bullied by an Embiid, Jokic, or Sengun he had no help this season Zach Collins and Sandro Mamukelashvilli were too small to go up against those Centers while Wemby was off the floor. Edey would fill that gap and the other teams bigs would still have to be cautious going into the paint with Wemby on the bench, which is when teams would go on runs and take the lead because there was no rim protection. Right now the Spurs only have 1 center and its Wemby but it could be 2 with Edey.

Over the past 45 years, only three players over 7'1" tall have had NBA careers that lasted more than 10 years: Rick Smits, Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Mark Eaton. Their careers are often cut short due to leg, foot and back injuries. As for Edey, I too hope he gets a shot with a young team that can bring him along slowly.

If they can get him in the 2nd round, then fine. But wouldn't take him high.

I think its a terribad idea. I also wonder how good Eddy can be in the actual nba where you need to play mostly outside the paint.

Dude I thought about this exact senerio after the NCAA Tourny ended. Zack is a low post player while Wemby can play outside. It works. Could you imagine the rim protection. I know it's been done before but none of them were Wemby!

Tbh if the Lakers bring back Phil Handy even though he was released from the staff with Ham, I think the Lakers are a perfect fit for Edey. LeBron and AD are there, allows Edey to play the 5, but also the Lakers have 3-4 offensive options in the starting lineup so they can primarily focus on Edey's defense as well as AD being able to roam and on the helpside, and Edey's post ability means that they will have to send doubles when he gets the ball in the post, which opens things up for AD, LeBron, Reaves and DLO if they retain him. So the Lakers are probably the best fitting 'veteran' team for Edey and if Phil Handy comes back, him developing Edey would be fantastic.

Would work. Either as a rotation so they can both play aggressive 24 min and not worry about foul trouble. Or play both have zach stay near the rim and let wemby be a menace around the court.

If the Spurs address the PG position with their lottery pick (or trade for one) AND we get Toronto's pick, I'm all in on getting Zack with that 2nd pick

Bad idea. What Spurs need is a Sharpshooter, Coach Pop always mention about their bad shooting percentage.

Disaster!!!! No Way... Unless its a second round pick....

I’ve been saying for last 3 months that this is exactly what spurs should do. Wemby has such a sleight build. This would be a perfect compliment for him. Spurs may make playoffs next year. Plus they are working on a nice trade. Maybe for Trey Young. I think Spurs will keep Wemby at about 28 minutes for sake of his health. Plus you know how Spurs like to give stars time off.

The spurs definitely don’t need this guy

Been saying this for a while. Pick 4: Zach Edey. Pick 8: Dalton Knecht. Wemby is the player that will be able to protect Edey on defense. Edey would be an automatic bucket against 75% o the the league's bigs. Garza could never thrive because he too small to play the 5 and too slow to play the 4. Edey will be the biggest player for most of the games.( Excluding Wemby!)

He also started later than his peers. He will be getting better faster than the others. If Spurs get a good pointguard ...

I agree that Edey will be a good fit for some team, where he can stay in the paint ... if he's drawn out the paint the 7'4" becomes 5'3" (pick any number when you ain't there to contest).

Please god no

Men that size typically age faster and are, as you say, more susceptible to lower-body injury. When they do get injured, the tend to recover more slowly than others. I don't envy either Edey or Wembanyama; I don't see either playing more than about 9 or 10 years and after that, they'll still be stuck with those ginormous bodies. I hope and pray they prove me wrong.

It's a bad idea if he's being pick at top 5. But the Spurs really need a PG (can draft Sarr or Risacher if lucky to have at least top 2). They can draft Edey if the managed to snag the Raptors pick and I think it's worth it since there's no other player they need outside of a PG.

Great for the Pop, he a proven winner understanding how he want to attack with height and strength. I expect this team to be tough minded.

Sarr and Risacher (via trade if possible) Reed are great Spurs target. They can trade for Dejountey or Trae or CP3 for the guard. Sign in Batum in the off-season. It will accelerate their rebuild. Maybe Zach Edey is good second round pick up for the SAS. I am not sure if he is fit in the SAS. But his game will certainly develop.

Shooter at 4, Zach at 8. Thats the way to go. You dont want Wemby to loose touches so getting another stretch is stupid.

I think it would be a great idea bringing him in along with Wemby to form the new twin towers

Edey is a solid passer and punished double teams throughout his career. With him and Wemby on the court there will always be somebody open on offense. Defensively, Edey was extremely conservative to ensure he wouldn't pick up fouls. I think at the next level, he will play less so he could take more risks. Purdue needed him to play the entire game.

I kinda like the idea if only to have someone similar to wembys height he can practice against. Then again he only has like 3 other matchups like that in the NBA. Gobert, Mitchel Robinson, Chet holmgren, etc. Honestly i wish we could trade for Alperen Sengun. I get him, Dejountay murray and Jacob poeltl when i play as the spurs and have wemby at the 3 with sochan or vassel at the 2 but usually i have to trade vassel to get DJ so yeah, Sochan lol

Four people who said that he couldn't defend or shoot three-pointers, please consider that he had to stay on court to carry his team for the last 2 years and he could shoot much better on paint

The Spurs SHOULD swap #8 with Chicago for #11 in trade that sends Keldon Johnson and Devonte Graham to Chicago for 6'6 Lonzo Ball and 6'5 Alex Caruso. That backcourt gives them DEFENSE, PASSING, BALL HANDLING and OUTSIDE shooting to best accentuate Wemby's game. They should try to move up for Risacher by offering Collins and #4. They should then get Isiah Hartinstien(3 yrs 59M), Bol Bol (2 yrs 20Mand possibly Drummond (3yrs 14M) and Nic Batum(2yrs/ 17M)

There were mock drafts and people I talked with that said Edey was only a 2nd rounder at best... I thought they were crazy and started watching every game because I said he was a 1st round talent and just wanted to see who was right... I could still be wrong once he hits the NBA but I've seen him sitting 3's and I think he's going to surprise them and maybe even myself.

He could be good for devlopment for the other players, giving them another giant to practice passing to.

I'll rather spurs pick sarr

Eady is coming to the HEAT!

No need marking him for second round. He will surely be gone by 20-22. I really wouldn’t be surprised if lakers take him in early teens. Him and Davis would be lethal. Plus he can shoot a bit too.

I'm all for it. The entry passes from Wemby to Edey will be a piece of cake. And they cant double team Edey if he starts working down low as no one would stop Wemby from cutting to the open lanes.

Why does he have to get drafted by a young rebuilding team? Dallas wasn't rebuilding when they drafted Lively and he performed very well.

Wembanyama needs another big alongside him on the court at all times. At least for his first years in the L, while he bulks up. I do not know for sure whether Edey is the perfect pair for him, but he could be. I hope the Spurs do not feel like drafting him or Clingan.

San Antonio Spurs, why not draft Zach Edey? He thoroughly outplayed Clingan when their teams played each other and from what I heard and read way outshone him in every way at the combine. (bigger, longer, faster, higher vertical, shot better from all over the court …) Further, Zach is simply a significantly better basketball player than Clingan. After all, it was Zach, not Clingan that was named National Player of the Year in both 2023 and 2024! Anyone thinking of picking Clingan would be well served to take Edey instead. Talking about twin towers! P. S. Zach is not slow of foot as some claim. He was faster than many of the players at the combine who people are talking about drafting before him. People’s negative impression of him has a lot more to do with how his collegiate team used him than how good he is on the basketball court. Spurs, please draft him at either 4 or 8. You will not regret it!

lol. I love old school basketball. I grew up in the 80’s things were a lot different.

Zack Edey is like a Yao ming. Yes the Spurs need a big off the bench when Wembanyama is taking a rest. Wembanyama can play power forward but he looks suited for center. Edey is probably better than Bassey in being bigger. Collins and Wembanyama on the court this year did not result in wins, as Collins is also a 3pt shooting big. Got posterised often. Edey has size over collins and Sochan. Edey has a shot that is like a flat skyhook. If Edey has defensive capability, he may be an upgrade over current roster but may trade off the speed of the team. Spurs need a rebounder.

Zion was overweight thats why he got injured. When he was in college he was fully fit and didnt get so much injury.

I agree. Get another big man & follow the timberwolves blueprint. Put Wemby at the 4 so he doesn’t have to take the pounding from other big centers. Get a pg in free agency.

Spurs are much better off using a first Rd pick and 2 2nd picks plus a young player or 2 for Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso. It would give them a solid, BIG, defensive backcourt with good 3pt shooting and versatility. They should also grab Isiah Hartinstien and Bol Bol in free agency. Again, giving them depth and versatility with defense to help Wemby take the Spurs to being among the NBA s elite. Add more SHOOTERS(Zaccarie Risache) through the draft and free agency and the Spurs will contend for a playoff sport earlier than expected.

Look at wembys flexibility, if a player practices flexibility they will avoid many injury’s
