In one corner of the paint is Zach Edey, Purdue’s 7-foot-4, 300-pound unstoppable force. Opposite him will be Donovan Clingan, UConn’s 7-2, 280-pound game-altering center.
Edey led the nation during the regular season with 24.9 points per game and was second in rebounding, averaging 12.2. He shot 63% from the floor and dominated at the defensive end, blocking 2.16 shots per game. Edey plays almost exclusively with his back to the basket and rarely shoots from the outside — 1 for 2 from 3 this season — so NBA scouts don’t really know if he can shoot from the perimeter.
Clingan is built different as well. He was a top-50 recruit out of Bristol Central High School in Connecticut and played a key role in the Huskies’ fifth national championship a year ago. Clingan is good on the low post, has solid footwork and is an adept passer out of double teams. The difference between him and Edey, at least in the eyes of scouts, is his agility and potential ability to shoot from the perimeter.
