My Take

A. J. Edu is a player I find genuinely exciting to watch develop. Cypriot-born and Filipino, he's a 6-foot-10 power forward and center who became a fixture for the Philippine national team, and he's plied his trade in Japan's B.League. What I like is the mobility on a frame that size, and a path that crosses borders and leagues, which usually breeds adaptability. He's young enough that the ceiling is still wide open, and being trusted in the national setup this early says a lot. Keep him healthy and he could anchor a frontcourt for a long time. The raw tools are a gift.
