He's about to be far better. Mark my words. He's going to singlehandedly lengthen Ja's career by helping limit the contact he takes while going to the rim. He's going to dominate IMMEDIATELY. Edey is a hungry DAWG and by far the most fit athletic big 7'4" player I've seen. His muscle and tendon definition around his knee is like a guard. That is a great sign going forward when it comes to injuries and it's no wonder he was a damn iron man in college never missing games.

[@chitoglenndeslate1817]

I dont think he will dominate but certainly make ja life much easier

[@neanam]

You smoking dope if you don't think edey isn't going to dominate

[@Memphizm]

@chitoglenndeslate1817 so let me get this straight...Ja elevates every player's game around him and Edey has never played with other great players let alone an unguardable PG with court vision, yet you think Edey won't dominate when he's surrounded by so much talent?

[@DannyNoonan74]

@@MemphizmHe played with Braden Smith who is a great player & has elite court vision!

[@denniswarren]

Here in Memphis we love this pick

[@neanam]

Mane we good money now.....

[@ttturner68]

This kid picked up the Game 6 years ago, couldn't even catch the ball, Painter in the staff turned him into the most dominate college basketball player in a generation, He is a natural athlete playing hockey and baseball originally........ spent hours after games signing autographs, Carried his team to National Championship game..... And the guy still get hate, what to hate about him other than he was dominate and people don't know the college 3 second rules.

[@gregtaylor5856]

You get it.

[@SuperJay12jay]

Edey's the best #1 player in the draft.

[@daroduong5280]

I don’t see how edey can’t atleast replicate Steven adams rebounding and lob catching impact. So overall solid pick

[@chuck1026]

He will be a better rebounding and lob catcher being so much taller and he has far more in terms of capability

[@gregorycarpenter4100]

He’s a better version of Adams imo

[@amypetrone2194]

People that know basketball, know exactly who Zach is and what he can do. Sure, I’m biased. He’s simply amazing and all you Memphis fans are about to find out and you will love him as much as we do. #alwaysaboiler

[@alimfuzzy]

He can grow in potential in so many ways. He's bigger than shaq was at the same time, he actually can shoot 3s (watch the combine), he can be a board vacuum. Im looking forward to see which way he grows.

[@philwood7712]

Die hard Purdue fan here. Edey is one of, if not the best player Purdue has ever produced. His ability to draw fouls and finish the basket while not fouling himself Is on another level. I would be absolutely stunned if he does not become an NBA Superstar. He skipped The Green room NBA draft because he promised his coaches, family and friends that he would watch it and participate with them. He's got character, hard work ethic, And he's only going to make the Memphis grizzlies better.

[@gregtaylor5856]

You got. Grizzly fans take note.

[@taej5772]

They needed a big they got a big.

[@ilovekaiyko]

Crazy how hes basically 7’4 without shoes

[@Nolabuck]

Memphis x glad you’re back

[@60zeller]

7’ 3/4” barefoot! With a 7’10 wingspan He will be better than Adams….next year

[@CDZNTZ]

Everyone hating on Zech Edey til he got drafted top 9. Funny how all the haters are silent now. Wish my Spurs drafted him at 8 though. Would have been a great twin towers with Wemby

[@HazzTube]

This is where i think Quine a few people don’t understand Zach Edey. He is so big, so strong and so skilled that he will force teams to adjust to him, not the other way around, With Edey anchoring everything down low, the defense will be able to stretch out and guard the 3. His presence on offense will force teams to double team him and the other shooters will we open, And on and on and on… He will be a franchise player, If Zach Edey proves to be a franchise player, If I was an owner, I would fire all the GMs that passed on Edey. Because, to me, picking Edey was a no-brainer. We shall see how this saga unfolds.

[@redhorse6652]

Meanwhile, Portland picked the defensive center, Clingan. Hopefully it will turn out better than Sam Bowie or Greg Oden.

[@HazzTube]

@@redhorse6652 I am born and bred from CT and I am a Hugh UConn Fan. Still, I share your concerns about Cingan. He might be a good NBA player, but nothing near a franchise player. People are finally beginning to do their own deep-dive on Edey. The fans are finding out that Edey is way more agile, speedy and skilled than the internet sports "Professionals" have been reporting. It does appear that MANY of these "Professionals" Did Not Do their own due-diligence on many basketball players, especially Edey. They just parrot back the party line. I do wonder if Memphis was trying to get Clingan. Memphis will be elated that it never happened, and they ended up picking Edey. Edey's upside could be as high as Franchise Player. I have just become a Memphis fan and got the NBA league pass so I can watch this exciting team all season long, I sure hope that Cam Spener will see some court time.

[@carltonberry137]

As a Memphis fan, I am excited about this pick. Zach Edey is going to excel with the Grizzlies and could be rookie all defensive player of the year.

[@HazzTube]

I think that quite a few people don’t like Edey is because they can’t see past “small ball”. Edey to so big, so strong and so skilled that he does not need to play small ball.. Just do what he does best and teams will have to adjust to Edey, not the other way around I hope Edey does change the look of small ball, the same type of play over and over and over. I think that he just might help change status quo on what basketball should look like.Hey, look at the Joker and Embiid, big, slow and teams must adjust to them

[@gregtaylor5856]

You get it!

[@neanam]

Edey finna eat

[@DaydreamingFun]

has anyone noticed he was shooting with both hands?

[@gregtaylor5856]

Yes slam dunk!

[@chitoglenndeslate1817]

He will open up the lane for ja morant Guarding a penetrating ja would be diffuculy coz of edey lurking around the shaded lane ja can can just lob a pass to him anytime

[@itsjustacomment454]

That would require Ja to pass and be willing to let someone else score .

[@chitoglenndeslate1817]

[@freelikesummer931]

With Zach, Trip an GG, who the f will dare to drive in the paint?

[@Alfin_Rizky10]

It's more crazier when I knew Memphis traded for Cam Spencer too

[@garybaskett6724]

Memphis will love Zach Edey!

[@Baylorbetterthanbrown]

Zach edey now becomes Memphis's best player

[@fredfrond6148]

The idea that Zach can not block and play aggressive defence comes because Zach was instructed to not foul. He averaged less than 2 fouls a game on 19 minutes a game sometimes the entire game in the tournament.

[@jmyuh8130]

the “he’s just big” narrative doesn’t make any sense. he scored more points that every player taller than 7’3 in the NCAA combined last year

[@neanam]

Zack a DOG and gon be an issue for a long time for the Grizzlies....I was a little nervous San Antonio got wemby last year cause I knew we had to deal with him for the next 15+ years....now with this edey boy we good money and have a wemby stopper

[@noneofyourbusiness8349]

Ja bane GG JJJ edey starting 5. Smart Vince aldama Clark. 9 man rotation.

[@kevingoodrich3050]

Great pick, he is a bull in a china shop. He doesn't go to the basket softly.... he goes in to dunk the ball hard. Put him in the post and cut off him. The other teams front line will be in foul trouble every night.

[@AndreInThe416]

Can't wait to see him use his fouls finally.

[@albertiwong]

one reason edey average 25 pts per game is that he is the number one option at purdue. dont think he will be the number one option; so you can expect his scoring will be more in the line of 15pt max per game.

[@alimfuzzy]

And what's wrong with that. Those are still solid numbers for a rookie. Team that up with how many rebounds he can get. Also don't forget he's good at drawing fouls and finishing. He could get 10 just from three throws.

[@RowlettTXBoiler]

He will get the grizzlies 10 and 10 just by telling him to go out and rebound

[@RowlettTXBoiler]

Put him in pick and roll with Ja and he will get you 20/10 a game

[@SuperJay12jay]

Edey can easily be the #1 option since nobody can defend him. Dude can dunk without jumping!!!!

[@austinmcdowell64]

Grizzlies didn’t draft him for scoring. He’s going to Memphis to set screens, rebound, and provide a paint presence.
