I guess he got advice that he would be lucky if he got drafted even late in the second round of the NBA draft so he decided to return for another season at Purdue. With NIL money he might be making as much as he would be getting to play overseas somewhere. That said, he’s big enough cause plenty of problems for most college teams again next year.

Provided that he can get a work visa.

I just don't see him as mobile and athletic enough to be a star in the NBA. Maybe a Mark Eaton-like center: defensive presence but offensively limited.

Those days are gone. Edey is a defensive liability in today's NBA.

How much NIL money can he be making at Purdue? I saw the kid that went from Michigan to Kansas said he made less than 100,000 at Michigan and left for the $$$.

Right now, not much without violating his visa status.
