Edey can develop a 3 point shot and it’ll be interesting to see if he takes some this year. But the big difference is Edey is 7-8 inches taller than TJD and would be one of the tallest guys in the NBA. I’d argue the issue isn’t necessarily that TJD doesn’t shoot 3’s but rather that he hasn’t developed a consistent jumper at all (even something like a 15 foot jumper). Guys TJD’s size who don’t have a legit jumper aren’t terribly common in the league (Kevon Looney and Robert Williams come to mind) so it’ll be interesting if he can add that to his game or not. TJD and Edey are much different players with a huge height difference that impacts things. Could Edey shoot jumpers? I hope we see some of that this year tbh. Edey didn’t go in the first round because the game doesn’t feature players like him anymore. 20-30 years ago he’s a lottery pick. If he can show a jumper and continue to improve his athleticism/stamina/etc, I could see him moving up to maybe an early second/late first round pick but without the jumper, he’ll still probably be a mid to late second round guy.
