Player Development Coach David Thorpe on Vernon Show Today

Some quick hits:

  1. Still thinks Cedric Coward is the best player in the 2025 draft class (yes over Flagg and Harper)
  2. Like what Ced did this season, thinks the IQ, character, shooting, and build are all there to flourish. Compared his rookie year to SGA
  3. Thinks Ced can be a league MVP, but safely comps well to a Cade Cunningham
  4. 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
  5. Thinks Caleb Wilson over Boozer is an absolute no brainer for us
  6. 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
  7. Not high on AJ at all (below Wilson and Booz by a wide margin)
  8. Thinks Cedric should play PG for us

Wemby Stopper

Seeing a lot of posts on r/nba and r/nbadraft about trying to find a Wemby stopper. Almost zero teams have any sort of counter for the guy. No one coming up anytime soon in the draft looks like a guy to stop him either. Lucky for us, I think we have the best Wemby stopper in the league already on our roster. Need Edey to get his feet right so badly.
