Purdue's Zach Edey will be one of six players to participate in a pre-draft workout with the NBA's Toronto Raptors on Tuesday. The 7-foot-4 center is a projected first-round pick after averaging 25.2 points, 12.2 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game.
Zach Edey will be back in familiar territory on Tuesday. The superstar center from Purdue has a pre-draft workout with the NBA's Toronto Raptors. The team announced the news on Monday.
Although traditional big men aren't as dominant in the NBA as they used to be, it's still believe that Edey — a two-time Naismith Player of the Year while at Purdue — can carve out a substantial role in the league. "I mean, I think I need to show people I can shoot the way I believe I can," Edey said at the combine. "But I think, for the most part, teams kind of know what I'm good at. Teams have tons of film on me. I think I'm quicker than teams think I am, I think I can shoot better than teams think I can. I have to show that, but I think on film ... I was in college for four years, I've got a lot of film. I know what I can do.
