He's better than alternatives, but not the best available. That's my stance. I'll come around if he figures out what good shots are and if he gives a damn about defense. Ultra talented and gifted, but he's lacking in between the ears right now.

I think there's better alternatives potentially there at 17 than Edwards.

I totally agree. Like Crazysauce, I see Edwards as another Dion Waiters. That's not what you want from a #1 pick in the draft.

Mike Schmitz on Edwards, saying the Waiters comparisons are a bit crazy based on talent and accomplishments. Worth a listen, the scouts who love Edwards seem to really love the scope of his talent. The ups and downs are concerning, but we're still in a zone where many freshman can present unprecedented scenarios.

I agree. I'm hoping he's more like Dennis Smith Jr..
