Of course the ATL
Edy doing pretty well out there. It's our guards struggling. Him and Kelly doing well.

I didn't see him do anything well enough to justify him getting real NBA minutes as a backup. He's slow, mechanical, not particularly athletic and not strong in the post. He's trash as a player

Outside of being 8 ft tall with length what is he giving us? He's a mediocre at best project...he doesn't deserve minutes
Great screener
Rim protection
Soft touch
Active on both ends of the court
Impactful in limited minutes
Works hard
High ceiling
Length
His BBIQ is good. He needs to improve his reaction time which has improved a lot since last year.

He could be a pretty good NBA player with more development

I have like four players higher on the cut chart than Edy.

Moose
Scott
Thiago
THJR

No one on this roster is worth getting cut. No one. This isn't obvious like in years past. Even Ryan Kelly is decent in our system.

My roster

Dennis/Jack/Delaney
Kyle/Hardaway Jr/Fro
Baze/Thabo/Prince
Sap/Hump/Moose
Dwight/Splitter/Edy

So you would cut Scott?

Because of the molly case or basketball reasons?

He is one of the few players we have that teams will try to cover on the perimeter

Yes. Do I want to, no. But he is what he is. A 8th man who becomes a 12th man during the playoffs. Him and Moose are similar where they are PFS who really aren't PF who impact the game in only two ways. Range and energy for Moose for Scott versatility and range for Scott.

On most squads, these two are locks. Not here.

Not interested in cutting someone as talented with so much room for growth who does improve like Edy. I am even reluctant to cut Tim.

But Scott and Moose are basically 8th to 10th men. Their not getting tick over Humphries or Splitter. They are 3rd stringers. If you are 3rd string. That's rookies or young players with potential, Scott and Moose are rotational, we need one of them, not both. Edy is going to be better than both next year anyway.

Agree 100%. It will suck not seeing Scott in Hawks uni but I know he'll be picked up quickly by another team.
