We were all set to select Tyler Kolek and Ryan Dunn in the SBNation NBA Mock Draft. Then those awful Charlotte Hornets and terrible Milwaukee Bucks scooped them up, respectively.
In a panic, and unable to trade our picks due to draconian SBNation rules, your Posting & Toasting representatives had to think fast.
So, with pick number 24, we chose a center. Purdue’s Zach Edey, the reigning two-time Naismith College Player of the Year, fits Coach Thibodeau’s preference for traditional big men. Offensively, Edey excels in the post, although he needs improvement in passing and ball security.
