Zach's tracking skills following smaller players from the top of the key and timing his jumps to block or interfere with their shots is impressive. he's much more athletic than given credit for and if you followed him in college you can see his athleticism improving year over year

Great understandable analysis. We Boilermakers are so excited to see Zach play on the Grizzlies. He’s going to do amazing things. Personally, if he gets the minutes, I wouldn’t be surprised if he leads the league in rebounding. He and Ja are going to be like Shaq and Penny!

His struggles to know when to know to call for the ball can come from his time in Purdue being the number 1 option and only playing organized basketball 6 years ago.

I said before the draft that Edey would be the best player by far to come out in this class and I know I'm right. This idea that you can't have a big man playing in the low post offensively and jacking up a million 3 pointers per game is the way to go is about to be proven 100% false. He will easily average over 20 points and 12 rebounds this year and make a huge impact.

The problem is most NBA players are great athletes but have average basketball skill sets. This is why the current generation of players are not enjoyable to watch. This is why Caitlin Clark is so popular - she has one of the best (if not best) skill set in the WNBA. Zach Edey has a strong skill set but his teammates are not used to it. That's sad. If Zach had Bird or Magic, he would be dominating!

I so wish my team had gotten a chance to get Zach Edey. He's exactly what my team needs. His passing seems on point, and that skyhook is unguardable! As good as he already is, he would say that he still has tons of room for development. With all that size and strength, he seems to have good balance, in that he doesn't hit the ground much if at all--like Embiid does. Therefore, I don't foresee him being injured as much as most other big men. I hope he's working on expanding the distance of his shots though. It can only help him and his team to also be a threat from at least mid-range to open up some driving lanes for teammates cutting to the basket for an easy layup. If Ja can stay on the court, this team should go far into the playoffs.

The Grizzlies look like the Spurs did last season when the players struggled to figure out how, when, and where to get WEMBY the ball. The Grizz will figure it out. Edey is an up and coming Rookie that is going to make teams pay for not picking him up sooner. High ceiling in my opinion.

Literally any PG (cause all are feeders) but put Edey in at 5 with GG at the 3, Luke at the 2 and Jaren/B Clarke at the 4. When BC/JJJ stretches the floor that would mean both mean the guards and sf would be forced to lock down GG n Luke and it will always be a one on one size up match in the paint for Edey. Grizzlies will be unstoppable with that lineup. Prove me wrong 💁🏾♂️
