They do have some great players, but IMO Edey is not one of them.

Naw, he's a great college basketball player. He's giant. He knows how to leverage being giant. He's well conditioned enough to go 30-plus minutes per game at that size. He's got enough touch to hit free throws and finish pretty well. 

Now the NBA will kill him because it's such a space game, and he's slow of foot. But he's a great player.

Since OAM isn't in here b/c he doesn't pay much attention to basketball...

COLLEGE BASKETBALL AND THE NBA ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS! One can be great at one even if they're not going to be great at the other, and that's OKAY!

FFS people, it's like you can't even see that apples are apples and oranges are oranges!!!

I like that all of the years of MSU schedules getting hammered because the non-top-end games we played, were against sub 300 teams, when this year, I think we had an easier schedule, but 3 of our "buy" games wound up top 80ish (James Madison, Indiana State, Oakland), so our SOS numbers are actually solid

I have never been more interested in a pro career than Zach Edeys.

I disagree with thinking hes just big.  There are plenty of mid 7 footers with no athleticism who have found a spot, but they were at best contributors.  Certainly not two time NPOTY.  I thonk offensively, Edey can still find a spot in the NBA.  I do think the increased spacing, and the defensive 3 seconds that prevents the drop coverage he plays, makes him a tough play on defense.  Even pure rim protectors have to be Embiid level athletic.  He wont get the friendly whistle he gets at Purdue, but I actually think he is going to be a very effective offensive player.

Montana needs to win the Big Sky, so this white kid with cornrows pulled up into Mickey Mouse ears can become the hero/villain of the tournament

I don't know why you wouldn't tag the tag off him now. He's gonna win two more games, I think, and get the team into the dance.
