Edema recently returned to the court for Cushing after nursing an injury, and he finally looked more like himself this weekend. Against Putnam, the 7-footer was incredibly tough and physical against a ridiculously ferocious front-line. He protected the rim unbelievably well, and he even showed off some impressive post moves and short-roll decision making out of the pick and roll. He manned the paint better than I would’ve expected against Putnam, and he still has another year to develop his offensive skillset, balance, and shooting ability, each of which would make a massive difference in his effectiveness on the court. Very bright future.
