Huh? He didn't have to worry about fouls the last two seasons. He got free reign and shoved and forearmed defenders with immunity.

Actually, in all seriousness and putting aside any IU bias I might have on how Edey was officiated in college, it will be really interesting to see how much it affects his game in the NBA with respect to fouls. Being picked by Memphis, they're clearly counting on him to be the starting center, and the NBA refs have a notoriously quick whistle when it comes to less experienced players. If he ends up being a foul machine, and has trouble defending the pick and roll (a huge staple of the NBA game), AND is limited offensively for what an NBA team wants to run, he's not going to give them the minutes they are expecting and need. I still think he's got a long career, barring injury (which for 7'4" guys is a little more of a risk), as a second unit guy. He's way more skilled than several of the schleps that stick around as backup centers for a decade or more.

He took more forearms and how hands in the back than he gave. That’s going to be one of his strengths in the NBA. He’s bigger and stronger than most. Be curious to see how he continues to develop. But you know as well as I do that he let guys go and didn’t try for blocks all the time to protect himself from foul calls. That was part of the scheme with him. Probably changes this year with Jacobson because there are other options at the 5.

I watched him contain some guards. His block on Knecht in the elite 8 with 35 seconds left. Picked him up at the 3 point line, slid down and stayed in front of him, made the block. So Knecht is slow as crap or Edey can do it.

and he shot FTs for all of them.

How many games was he on the bench with two in the first half?

How many did he foul out of?

He had two early more than you’d think. He was in foul trouble and barely played vs Illinois. Might shock people, but Purdue was still good.
