Absolutely not, people forget how strong and skilled Yao was

This is why it drives me nuts when people compare Zach Edey and Yao. If Edey was anywhere close to Yao, he would have been in the NBA after his freshman year. Height does not equal skill.

He was. But not right away. But this kid is 18. Maybe he will develop. Although, I get the sense that he’s not all that passionate about the sport. We’ll see.
Edey has the physical gifts but he was late to basketball unlike Yao who was groomed for the sport. Edeys still very good tho.
