 Is Zack E.D. gonna be worth a first round pick in this year's NBA draft? Saying he's just big isn't fully accurate or fair. Because he has grown a lot over the years to become a reliable free throw shooter. His footwork in the post has gotten much better. Yes, he relies on that size to be effective like other bigs. And in the league, he's not gonna be able to rely on his size alone like he does a little bit on the college level versus these NBA bigs. Listen, at the worst, he's gonna have his chance to be a rotational player in the league on day one. And I don't think he's gonna be an all star or even a starter in the NBA at all. He's not mobile enough on both sides of the ball to keep up for 25 minutes a game. And defensively, he's gonna need to do a lot more and become a lot more agile to help and slide at the rim. That being said, this is a weak draft class. So I have a mid second round grade on him as a prospect right now. But if a team in the end of the first round wants a rotational big to throw in as a backup for 10 minutes a night on day one, why not him?
