Maybe the guy who works at the bar I go to who is 300 pounds should be on an NFL offensive line? Just dumb
Why is "Edey is just tall" such a controversial take?
- Thread starter IndyResident16
- Start date
What am I wrong about? Please tell me a real basketball skill that he possesses? What's his shooting percentage outside 5 feet? His dribbling skills? Passing? If he had any real basketball skill he would have been in the NBA two years ago. And clearly you care, you're 10 comments deep.
Maybe he should try...then again he'd be out of the league as fast as Edey.
Man you are bitter - it’s ok - maybe IU should just sign big tall guys in the portal - I’m sure it will work out fantastic
Bitter about what? Not understanding why calling Edey tall is a controversial take? It literally makes no sense.
Tell you what - put your post on a national message board and see what happens - you will be destroyed
Have you ever seen him face up from 17 ft. And dribble to get to the basket ?
He's a avge passer at best too.
I've never seen him in two yrs give a great outlet pass to start a break..
Have you never watched Embid...Jokic ..Anthony Davis ?..Those are just 3 that he can't cover in the NBA .. .
I wouldn't waste a first round pick on him..
Yes ..He has been great in college.
But if he's 6"7 he's on the bench..
Have had this debate in multiple settings on multiple platforms and feel totally comfortable with my position. Once you can substantiate that being "big" or "tall" doesn't exclude you from being good, it's actually not a hard position to take.
Why not quit worrying about us or what anyone else thinks about Edeys lack of skills. WGAFF
Enjoy Purdue's and Edeys current moment. He'll be gone soon and forgotten even sooner.
Enough to know he possesses very little real basketball skills. Doesn't need them to be dominant at this level.
This was actually a very reasonable objective thread until a couple of you mental midgets couldn't handle your emotions.
JC dude, get a grip
You are arguing with a troll that is here solely to argue and troll. Don't give him the satisfaction of trashing a thread that he can't comprehend.
Don’t think the 2 time NPOY will ever be forgotten - very short
From you really
He is only good because he's big, 7'4 to be exact. He'd be playing at UIndy or Ball State at 6'9 with his current skill set. He can't dribble or shoot.
No I’m here to bring some sanity to your fan base - you are the worst person to make that statement
Theres no flaw in that statement nor is it something to bunch your oversized panties over.
Hes a dominating big man with a very limited skill set and yes he dominates because of size.
OP was correct y'all have some weird issue with people pointing that out.
I hope for Edey's sake they win Friday. Can't think of a 2x NPOY with such a less than desirable resume in the event they don't.
Why is this hard for some? Edey is a dominant player, more than deserving of NPOY this year. He's dominant because of his size, not because he possesses some elite basketball skill(s).
There's literally nothing controversial about this unless you're looking to be offended. Purdue fans weren't born with a persecution complex for a reason.
Wow you guys are uptight - use the reply button? Use some freaking common sense - it’s not that hard
No this thread was to discuss why "Edey is tall" is a controversial take? We've got our answer, Napoleon.
Then list his basketball skills then, please. Size isn't a skill.
It’s been so much fun debating with you guys - I won’t use any profanity but honestly get a grip you are not smart
So basically you're talking to yourself ... whatever blows your skirt up.
fwiw - Gonzaga still counts as a mid major .... lol.
No that's not the definition of skill in the context of basketball.
Is this the first season you watched the sport or something?
-The first two are directly related to his size
-He's a career 70% FT shooter
-He has 177 career assists to 259 career turnovers, how in the hell is that a skill?
