Player Development Coach David Thorpe on Vernon Show Today
Some quick hits:
- Still thinks Cedric Coward is the best player in the 2025 draft class (yes over Flagg and Harper)
- Like what Ced did this season, thinks the IQ, character, shooting, and build are all there to flourish. Compared his rookie year to SGA
- Thinks Ced can be a league MVP, but safely comps well to a Cade Cunningham
- Not as high on Edey and his ability to stay healthy a whole season. Likes Edey as a player, doesn't think you should plan around him due to availability and the way the game is these days
- Thinks Caleb Wilson over Boozer is an absolute no brainer for us
- Fears that Boozer does not have the upside Wilson has and is a bad fit with Edey, still very much likes Boozer, just not the fit with us
- Not high on AJ at all (below Wilson and Booz by a wide margin)
- Thinks Cedric should play PG for us
