Edey can come in right away as a backup center and has the best post-up game out of any center in the draft, averaging 25.2 points and 12.2 rebounds per game last season. His limitations are in the pick-and-roll, where only 8% of his made baskets came in that set, and defensively he doesn't have the foot speed to guard the switch, forcing him to be more of a drop coverage center.

Wells transferred from a Division II program to Washington State and was the best shooter on the team, hitting 41% from 3. Even though he’s a bit of a late bloomer, he showed more confidence in Power Five competition and has upside at 20 years old.

Spencer wasn’t great at the combine and got a little lost during the 5-on-5 scrimmages, but his body of work at UConn speaks for itself. He is an ultra competitor who can eventually be that glue guy on a team or bring some age and experience from a winning culture to a second unit.
