Few college players have had the kind of career Purdue Boilermakers center Zach Edey had. Could he carry that success into the NBA for the Orlando Magic?
ORLANDO — With the NBA Draft, the tension between betting on a teenage player's upside or a 20-something's established skill set often differentiates the great franchises from the ones who experience constant turnover. It won't be any different for the Orlando Magic when they're on the board with the No. 18 overall pick.
Which brings us to 7-foot-4 Purdue Boilermakers center Zach Edey, who could be available when the Magic make their first-round selection. On Purdue's run to the 2024 NCAA Championship game, Edey averaged 29.5 points, 14.5 rebounds and 1.83 blocks per game in the tournament.
