Raptors Host Workouts for Canadian Prospect Zach Edey
The Toronto Raptors have announced that they will be hosting a workout for Canadian center Zach Edey, along with several other Canadian prospects. Edey, who stands at an impressive 7-foot-4, is expected to be the first Canadian prospect off the board in this year’s draft.
Joining Edey at the workout will be Tyrese Samuel, Emanuel Miller, Jahmir Young, Joseph Girard III, and Keion Brooks Jr. Edey, a senior from Purdue, has been a standout player in college basketball, averaging 25.2 points and 12.2 rebounds per game while shooting an impressive 62.3% from the field.
While Edey’s offensive skills are undeniable, there are concerns about his defensive abilities in the NBA. His size makes him a force in the paint, but his lack of agility could be a liability on defense. Despite these concerns, Edey’s potential as a high-end pick-and-roll partner makes him an intriguing prospect for the Raptors.
With the NBA draft approaching, Edey’s performance at the workout could have a significant impact on where he lands in the draft. For Raptors fans, the possibility of seeing a local talent like Edey on the team is an exciting prospect. Stay tuned for updates on Edey’s draft journey and his potential future with the Toronto Raptors.
