Edey is gonna revolutionise the NBA

[@zamyracortinasdehumphrey5060]

I can't lie, the grizzlies had a great draft this year. I can't lie tho, this team is looking mad scary and I am expecting a good bounce back year. WHOOP THAT TRICK. 🐻🐻🐻

[@brandoonf6962]

agreed for sure.

[@Youtubehandle12319]

Why can’t you lie tho

[@FailedNBAComissioner]

It’s a good thing you can’t lie. 🙄

[@neanam]

Real talk!

[@tylerwoodall9328]

2x player of the year! Put up historic numbers! Yes please! I look forward to Zach changing the minds of people on 4year bigs!

[@Eagle8]

Exactly

[@freelikesummer931]

Can we just have a round of applause for our scouts, our management, Robert Pera, and all the people behind the scenes who make this team awesome! Kudos to you!

[@ieronimo18]

UConn fan here...I watched every Cam Spencer game last season and I can't wait to see him shine in the NBA. He's an amazing shooter but so much more..smart as hell...high energy...totally unselfish team player. All you need to know about Cam Spencer is that he was one of the favorite players of the best college coach in the country, Dan Hurley. The Grizzlies are going to be really good next season with a healthy squad!

[@davoflatts7917]

Go huskies and Cam. Couldn’t be more happy for this kid

[@edalbanese6310]

He sucks Edey Rocks!

[@elpaljj]

I love Taylor Jenkins. He’s an amazing coach and clearly knows what he’s doing and what he expects from players. Should be our coach. Our Greg pop

[@Eagle8]

This particular bite is about the drafted players, and I'll reserve my comment about the coach.

[@schlichter11]

The Griz seem like a class organization. I'm looking forward to watching this upcoming summer and season.

[@tristanriley1694]

Go Zach Edey!!!!

[@ewok2012ers]

I fell something special about the Wells kid…!! And the big man:)

[@Memphizm]

Cam is a dawg too now!

[@Eagle8]

I think all three will contribute nicely.

[@iBMcFly]

All three are going to be starting with morant and JJJ, memphis going to the playoffs.

[@Eagle8]

@@ewok2012ers Agreed 100%! All three are an upgrade from some players on the roster.

[@Shaneofthefuture]

I love this draft for the Grizz.

[@westernd12]

I don't know much about Wells but it definitely helps that Spencer and Edey played in high level offenses in college with really good coaches. The only thing I'm worried about is them adjusting to the free flow type offense instead of so many set plays they ran in college. High IQ guys though for sure snd definitely understand basketball so hopefully they can get in the flow sooner than later

[@CovertGhoul]

Don't sleep on Edey/Bane replacing Adams/Bane in that 2 man game that was very solid.

[@ryanharrison4058]

Y’all got a good one w Cam Spencer. One of my favorite players to watch.

[@tkamel18]

Very solid draft class. Exactly who I would’ve taken at those picks with this team!

[@youarebeingtrolled6954]

As a vancouver GRIZZLIES fan I demand u let him play for canada in the olympics

[@neanam]

That's a dub we need him here playing summer ball.

[@Eagle8]

It's up to Zach!😂

[@thatdudeant4287]

For Canada giving us the grizz I feel it’s only right Memphis lets him do it but he not

[@BobParty3]

WHOOP THAT TRICK🐻🐻🐻 GO GRIZZ

[@CovertGhoul]

Honestly, people were reporting Clingan Clingan Clingan, but I think I believe Zach Kleiman on the Edey stuff. Edey and Cam share an agency... Wells just looks like a draft steal. I think Memphis did get who that exactly wanted. Crazy.

[@boiler4life3325]

Not so sure.. Zach said at the beginning that he hadn’t heard from Memphis this year. Think they really were trying to get Clingan at first. More fuel to the fire for Zach

[@kitsorasephei4047]

I saw the “Zach” thing coming when I saw them sit next to each other😂😂

[@HayLoMagik]

Fellers, this is the best, most passionate and hungry team that a young player could ask for. If you prove that you can contribute consistently you will earn your minutes. My advice is be unselfish and seek what it is that the Grizz can use. I wish all of you guys much success and longevity. #GoGrizz

[@twoinssboss2110]

I ❤ my Grizzlies

[@GabaSaminu]

This is pure genius!

[@neanam]

Listen if the Grizzlies can do the 3 H's. Stay healthy hungry and humble we can win several championship next year and the years to come.

[@cashwalker9512]

Their still need more guys that can hit 3s to keep up with Celtics

[@neanam]

@@cashwalker9512 just signed jaylen wells to a 4 year contract for dirt cheap...6'8 and can knock down the 3 🏀

[@keeganoneil]

Here for Zach but was impressed with Jaylen. I liked how he answered a few questions from an on court perspective. He’s thinking about ball and where he fits in.

[@bigspaces9587]

Cam Spencers dad is Woody Harrelson and his mom is Slingblade.

[@michaelharo7761]

I was just thinking that lol

[@j-us-t_be-in-g]

​@@michaelharo7761 Lying ass. Lol. You thought of it when he wrote it. Lol.

[@GenoGwap]

Great draft. I was in aww at first however I am fine with the Edey pick. I really liked Cody Williams who went next and Dalton Knecht. However, Jaylen can do what Knecht does equally, if not better and we already have GG at the combo forward spot. Spencer was a sneaky good pickup. Maybe he can be our version of TJ McConnell; just a better 3 point shooter and a little taller. 〽️🐻 #GoGrizz #GrizzNation #Grizzlies

[@seanthompson1950]

That lady at the beginning was NOT gonna give up her seat

[@BoilersRock]

Purdue fan and so a ZE fan of course, but I think Cam Spencer is a great get too. The dude is an assassin.

[@williewhite1161]

I am extremely excited about all 3 picks. Especially the Edey pick. I wonder with the addition of these new players who on the current roster will be expendable. I think Jake Larabia and Zaire Williams might be out of here.

[@AATM.Sports]

Summer league team is gonna dominate

At Purdue Zack was called the Big Maple.

[@morningglory147]

Woot woot how exciting! make em work Taylor

[@mr.nobody9697]

Itll be interesting to see if Cam Spencer sticks in the NBA. Hes a high IQ player, very shifty on offense and can flat out shoot. He lacks athleticism but hes such a good player itll be interesting to see if he sticks on the roster.

[@Eagle8]

Agreed! Those players just riding the bench for years will have more to be concerned about than Spencer.

Go grizzlies

[@NBAfast-breakPODCAST]

Edey reminds me of the GRIZZLIES great MARC GASOL!

[@BnaBreaker]

I'm all aboard the Edey train, but no offense to the other guys, I wish we had found a way to consolidate those picks with some other stuff to bring in another established player. We have two years until Jaren reaches the FA market, so to me, we need win now guys not more projects.

[@AATM.Sports]

Just watch they highlight they some shooters

[@Eagle8]

The trade season is just starting. We're not done.

[@soentertainmentdjs2316]

Let’s address him as Coach Jenkins instead of just “Taylor”!

[@Eagle8]

To some people, to be called coach has to be earned.

[@iBMcFly]

Just drafted 3 out of their future starting five, Memphis is a problem.

[@dtrain7974]

Wells might end up the best pick

[@NayaWrap]

Eddy is the next time Duncan

[@gregtaylor5856]

?

[@Eagle8]

Edey will have to play immediately simply because we haven't a center on the roster. Hopefully, Wells and Cam can get a shot to practice with the first group. We should have learned this after the accidental finds of GG and V Williams.

[@cashwalker9512]

Y’all need to trade Timmy Allen and jack white their useless
