Current Sentiment
Edey's injury issues overshadow his promising rookie potential and impact on the court. Second ankle surgery raises serious durability concerns that temper initial optimism about his development. Contract appears reasonable now, but injury history makes long-term value genuinely questionable going forward. Health timeline dominates narrative; fans debating whether he can stay on court consistently enough. Pessimism growing—injury-prone centers are risky, and his ceiling depends entirely on staying healthy.
