After a Tuesday workout with the Toronto Raptors, Zach Edey talked about the possibility of being drafted by his hometown team. He summed it up by using just two words, saying it would be 'really cool' to play in Toronto.
Zach Edey isn't going to be picky when it comes to the NBA Draft. He's going to be incredibly grateful to any team that gives him an opportunity. But the former Purdue superstar admits that playing for the Toronto Raptors — his hometown team — would be a little more special.
“I remember driving around downtown after they won the championship, like downtown was going crazy,” Edey said, per Aaron Rose ofEdey is coming off a season in which he averaged 25.2 points, 12.2 rebounds, 2.2 blocks and 2.0 assists per game. He led Purdue to a second-straight Big Ten regular season crown and the program's first appearance in the National Championship Game since 1969.
Toronto won't have another pick — barring a trade — until the second round, having the No. 31 overall selection.
