Because this is a board of mostly NBA fans that are watching a player and a version of a sport they don't watch often, so of course they'll relate it out to what they actually are fans of. College stars will typically have something in their game or personality that intrigues, entertains, or endears them to the general public. Despite all his accolades and success, Edey's appeal starts and ends at him being 7'4 and being able to walk and chew gum at the same timeI was responding to multiple posts discussing his NBA prospects in this thread. Why is it being brought up to discredit him then?
There's as much discussion about that, as there is about his game and he's in the middle of a historic tournament run.

American babbleZack edey aint shyt. All he does is be taller than everyone. Let him come to the NBA and get exposed
Uhhh, yeah. College ball is generally a bad productAmerican babble
If he's this trash it really is a statement on American Basketball tbh
Back to back player of the year, bout to win the title, rookie of the year Not American, MVP 6 years in a row Not American, DPOY Not American, ROY Not American, the #1 pick in the draft every year Not American. Lost to Germany , Canada , and Lithuania last year while finishing outside of the medal spots in the senior and u19 tournaments
We're watching the fall of an empire The fattest country in the world is showing its man t*ts
Because it's mostly Americans playing itUhhh, yeah. College ball is generally a bad product
College basketball isn’t a bad product, it’s a different productUhhh, yeah. College ball is generally a bad product
my post was 90% hate, but yeah NCAA ball is pretty mediocre.
it's different, but it's bad.College basketball isn’t a bad product, it’s a different product
The nba has legislated defense out of the game. It mostly resembles rec league
We still run the world with guards and small forwards. The international players only running the front court spots.American babble

Says a guy from the 4th place team in the world while a Canadian dominates his country's scholastic endeavorsWe still run the world with guards and small forwards. The international players only running the front court spots.
Right? Watching him be gassed after running a fast breakcan finally stop hating watching this fat ngga.
Those specific fans have always been present though. It was the same thing with Christian Laetner and Bobby Hurley 30+ years ago, and I'm sure it was the case before that. It's just become louder as the games have grown further apart.And one of the things that intrigues casual viewers is NBA potential. That's what I was criticizing, discrediting Edey as a college star because he isn't a good NBA prospect.
People dismiss him putting up 6 straight 20 & 10 games, and having a historic NCAA run because he doesn't fit a modern NBA offense.
