First off, he’s nearly bigger than Boban *without shoes.* Second, he’s one of the best post players in the modern era of college basketball. Utterly elite finisher inside, great footwork, soft touch. Elite rebounder, especially on the offensive glass. Best screener in college basketball— he’s big and strong, you can’t slip past him. He’s also over a 70% FT shooter, so you can’t hack him.
He, of course, cannot guard in space *at all,* and he’s not a shooter *at all* to date, so it’s hard to imagine in today’s NBA he becomes anything resembling a star. That said, he’s improved every year of his career, and he’s a big motherfucker, so I think at minimum he’d be really useful off the bench for a drop coverage team. I mean, Boban's stuck around for a *decade* off size and rim protection. Edey, health permitting, should do the same.
