Purdue center Zach Edey will declare for the NBA draft, but his college career may not be over just yet.
The decision from Edey is no surprise. As he went through the awards circuit at the Final Four in Houston earlier this month, he told reporters that he intended to go through the draft process and receive feedback from NBA evaluators.
Since Edey arrived on Purdue’s campus, he has improved at a rapid rate, culminating in several national player of the year honors as a junior. At 7-foot-4 and 305 pounds, Edey was completely dominant for the Boilermakers this past season. He averaged 22.3 points, 12.9 rebounds and 2.1 blocks while playing 31.7 minutes per game for the Boilermakers.
Edey impressed this season with his conditioning, excellent hands and touch around the basket. He’s improved as a decision-maker and passer and is not a liability at the free-throw line as he owns a career percentage of 70.2 on more than 500 attempts. Still, concerns about his mobility on defense could ultimately hinder his ceiling as an NBA prospect.
