Will Zach Edey’s college dominance translate to the NBA? He could find a home as Joel Embiid’s backup.

Expected to be on the board at 16, Edey will be among the Sixers’ intriguing options. The 7-foot-4, 299-pound former Purdue star was a big scorer, adept screener, and voracious rebounder in college.

As a senior, Purdue center Zach Edey averaged 25.2 points, 12.2 rebounds, 2.2 blocks and 2.0 assists while shooting 62.3 % from the field.
