The Toronto Raptors went into the season without a ton of height on the roster, as no player on the roster was listed as taller than 6-9.
Edey is a Toronto native that decided to become the next seven-footer to link up with Matt Painter and the Boilermakers.
If Edey makes the jump to the NBA, Nick Nurse and the Raptors may have more information at their disposal than any other team in the league.
If the Raptors can pick up a second-round selection or somehow maneuver into the end of the first round, they could end up taking Edey.
Edey is not a completely unskilled big.
While expecting anything close to that in the pros is absurd, it shows that the offensive completely gravitates around Edey when he is on the floor.
The fact Edey has not played more than 22 minutes in a game this season shows that either he isn’t conditioned to handle extensive minutes or Painter doesn’t believe in him just yet.
If the Raptors either make a postseason run or decide to trade back, Edey could be a quality addition for the back end of this roster.
