Edey would have no PT available right now....you would have to find a home for Kessler or Collins straight away or have him sit for awhile. Kessler for Edey swap would but kindy risky but maybe worthwhile. Think Kessler ends up a better player 7/8 times out of 10.....but Edey has a lot more offensive potential.

Makes me want him even more
I definitely think if you drafted Zach, you need to have Walker or Collins moved just so there are minutes. I wouldnt mind keeping both Walker and Zach and let them battle for minutes.
Edey would beat out Walker for minutes, so it'd be Walker with not PT.
My big board for the Jazz changes more than any other year that I can remember. As of now, here is my top 35 (since we don't have any late picks)..

IMO, to be convinced on Edey you have to be convinced on a ton of further development. He's old, but he did start playing basketball late so it's possible. But as of right now, Edey is kind of opposite of what the Jazz do on offense. He's not a high post operator and doesn't handle the ball or pass super well. One place where he can be immediately effective is the PnR....but we don't run much PnR. Hardy leverages a big's perimeter ability way more than their size....so there's definitely a mismatch in philosophy.
C is difficult because you cannot play two of them at the same time. It seems like a lot of commitment to change the entire offense and/or trade Kessler/Collins to make room for Edey. Also, we are the worst defensive team in the league and C is by far the most important defensive position. Hardy seemingly doesn't care much that Kessler is a really good defender.....I don't know if that's a good or bad thing for Edey.
