The Big Man is back - Purdue vs UConn Men's National Championship thread, 9:20pm ET, TNT

Different era. He had an 8 year head start where he wasn’t expected to shoot 3s and it didn’t affect his impact. Edey will come in day 1 and be a liability

Also it’s pretty causal to think bc they look alike they’re the same. They ain’t. The twins were better athletes and more mobile. At that size even a slight edge in mobility is huge

You threw that out of thin air. Who the hell is talking about them looking alike?

Have you seen the Bucks this season with Jrue not there? Adrian Griffin the 1st half of the season before he got fired designed a defense for Brook Lopez to trap on the perimeter and if caused a breakdown in perimeter defense as guards blew by Lopez easily to the basket. Lopez is not more mobile than Edey. Same footspeed

Comical posts in here

Brook Lopez and Zach Edey play a similar way? You got it breh. No use talking sports with someone that has this little understanding of the game

Conceding the point because you know they have the same athletic build and footspeed, and want to use the "Bu bu you don't know ball" angle lol. Ya'll comical in this thread. Straight dapfishing

Oh and Jonas Valančiūnas is another comp. Strong back to the basket center with slow footspeed

Explain how they are similar on offense. Be descriptive.

Excluding 3 pointers, which can be learned by Edey as well

- Back to the basket. Jump Hooks, up and unders, drop step, offensive rebounds and put backs. Slow footspeed. Can also score on pick and rolls

So aside from probably the most important thing in 2024 NBA, they’re completely alike

Edey is a back to the basket big who can only play drop coverage in defense. How many of those guys do you see getting big minutes? Go to bed breh
