But he is getting plenty of tail from the one video that was posted a couple of weeks ago.
Edey and NIL
- Thread starter FLYINGCYCLONE
- Start date
Definitely sucks that he's not able to take advantage of NIL because of some BS rule, but the guy seems pretty quiet and doesn't scream 'star quality', so who knows how much he'd be making from NIL.
Either way, minimum salary in the NBA is >$1.1 mill per year, so if he's drafted, he'll be doing fine.

More stat production already in a quarter season.
The guys on Murph & Andy were going nuts over Garza preseason game in DM next year and clearly oblivious that Monte is more important player on same team.
They can still get NIL. But have to go back to home country to process/collect. I think the same thing applies to players from Europe and Australia.
With my limited knowledge of immigration law, it makes sense that collegiate athletes here on student visas are not able to make money and therefore Edey would not be able to make money off his NIL.
Related to NIL, I'm curious how this is all working. For example, can the collective (a legal entity with the authority to contract obviously) pose a contract to the prospective player that says "we'll pay you $400,000 over time to come to ISU and play basketball - paid in monthly installments - over the next year, but if you transfer from ISU then you forfeit what remains on the contract." In other words, create a contractual relationship with the player (assume the player's an American citizen with a right to work or green card holder obviously to simplify the hypothetical fact pattern) based on their NIL and basically treat him or her like an independent contractor. This would give the collective the rights to enforce a breach of contract.
I haven't really delved into NIL law, but it is interesting to ponder how this is all working in practice right now.

Jeez when are Murph and Andy going to catch up with the rest of the world. Nobody cares about Garza anymore. As soon as it turned to March his Sr year he has been completely irrelevant in the world of basketball.
My favorite was when they piss themselves about how he “gives back” by holding camps in Iowa. No you dolts. He’s charging a bunch of money for camps in the only place he has any market value.
No, I don't think it really is.
Looks like his career is close to 15 and 6.
I think that's a fair ceiling comp.
He’s a #1 pick early 00s or before. I don’t think you can even compare him to the players of that era and before though.
Teams just get up and down the court so much faster now. Embiid works because he’s really fast/athletic along with the size. Wemby is actually very fast. Jokic works because he’s the best full court passer since pistol Pete so on offense he actually speeds up the game even though he has slow foot speed.
I think Edey will be a great piece though situationally, just not 30 minutes a game or cornerstone of a franchise.
A player like a young Hakeem would still dominate if he was coming into the league now but a slower guy like Patric Ewing would be a role player, not a franchise player.
If he turns out to have the career Yao Ming had, then some team will get a heck of a steal.
