Not sure I caught them all but here are the best centers Edey has faced:

Gonzaga - Ike (18/10) vs Edey (27/14) - Ike 6'9 240 averages 16/7
Gonzaga - Ike (14/7) vs Edey (25/14) - Maui
Marquette - Oso (16/5) vs Edey (28/15) - Maui - Oso 6'11 235 averages 13/7
Arizona - Ballo (13/6) vs Edey (22/9) - Maui - Ballo 7'0 260 averages 13/10
Rutgers - Omoruyi (13/6) vs Edey (26/12) - Cliff 6'11 240 averages 10/8
Rutgers - Omoruyi (4/3) vs Edey (25/7) - Cliff 6'11 240 averages 10/8

So yeah the biggest player he has played against is Ballo, who is still small compared to Clingan and Edey.

In 2023 Edey faced:
Dickinson (21/7) vs Edey (19/9) - Dickinson is really the only player who has won his match up with Edey because he has similar strength and is over 7'.  He isn't a great defender but he didn't need to be mobile to defend Edey, just strong enough to keep Edey from his best spots on the floor.
Omoruyi (12/6) vs Edey (19/11)
Timme (22/9) vs Edey (23/7)

I would have loved to see a Purdue vs Creighton matchup because I think Kalkbrenner vs Edey would be fascinating.  The best defensive big who never fouls vs Edey who draws fouls left and right.  Two robots in the post in that one.
