Hey Sam,,,, any chance Cav’s pick up another late pick. NBA Draft.NET has the 49th pick ON THEIR “BIG BOARD” as Purdue Center Zack Edey 7-4 center. Also on their Mock they have Zack Edey going 48th pick. So anyway, just wondering if Cav’s could pickup your 49th Emoni Bates for a 6-10 Forward (shooting/Handling) AND fill in another BIG backup for rotation with Mobley & Allen — they actually NEED both. Just asking is there any possibilities there???
Nevermind. I just got your article on Edey returning to Purdue !!!
But for sure they need a lot of help at the 3 & maybe the Emoni Bates pick would aid that issue & they really need some “BIG” help for the relief of Allen & Mobley. They looked way wasted – like deer in the headlights- against the Knicks. They need to have some 6-10 or better in there with at least Allen OR Mobley for the rebounding, & someone who can shoot or at least stimulate some kind of offense so maybe Bates might help in that regard.
