[@grantmarble8560]

56 mins of pure dominance

[@kentuckygirl3326]

TOTALLY AGREE IT SURE WAS...

[@everettmoreland9]

He just seems like he moves ALOT better than clingan. Everyone has Donovan in the top 3-5 and he moves like a robot who hasn’t been oiled up yet. Edey is a lot more fluid and seems quicker. Clingan just looks like he has a severe case of arthritis. What am I missing?

[@joed7185]

I cant believe GM's are not discussing more about Edey. He's clearly the best player in this draft. Pop and the Spurs are drafting him at #4

[@emiliothepoet]

If Clingan is rated 2 Edey is rated number 1

[@lightmaker2144]

This is what the grizzlies saw and the fact he can shoot the three ball

[@SuaveSkii]

Started playing basketball less than 10 years ago. I witnessed his start and he’s come a very long way despite the hate

[@shakiemjeanjoseph428]

MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES AT 9TH OVERALL 🔵🟡⚪️🐻Ⓜ️〽️

[@jazzroyale7260]

Poor man’s Yao!!

[@RichardHuff-wk4ec]

[@AATM.Sports]

[@christophertorres3207]

Bam at the 4 Edey at the 5 would make the Miami Heat a problem for any team.🔥🔥🔥

[@MasterOfRage]

Zach Edey Definitely A Perfect Fit For The Miami Heat 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯, And Definitely A Great Fit Next To Bam Adebayo

[@thelifeofb8319]

Ive begged Miami to prioritize the 5 😭😭😭 they only know about guards & wings smh

[@MasterOfRage]

@@thelifeofb8319 Miami Better Get A Center In The 15th Pick

[@nolanolson7517]

Did Clingan play 56 minutes this year? Just joking but Edeys stamina is insane

[@MasterOfRage]

Future Heat 🔥🔥💯💯

[@leonduke9775]

If he falls to 19th the Raptors are definitely taking the hometown kid

[@burleykev]

Memphis RISING

[@krash22mini72]

Future Piston!!! Let's go 🎉

[@dj300chops2]

I remember a time when just being 7 ft and able to jog without falling made you a top 3 pick. And now 7’+, decent mobility and touch around the rim through contact= not sure how this will translate to the NBA 😂

[@trusteppakt5908]

Istg idk how he wasn’t #1 pick or a least 2

[@yorktrocio3869]

Welcome to Chi Bulls, Lonzo to Eddey

[@emiliothepoet]

[@RichardHuff-wk4ec]

[@tygotem8486]

yao oneal

[@justineolvido2881]

This kid would be unstoppable when he got the ball from the paint. I mean he still in college with that size and move like that man he would eat the defense with just bump and turn around. Imagine entering in nba and focusing on footwork man always get an and 1. Hoping he land for the warriors or with thompson. But sadly not gonna happen.

[@lightmaker2144]

He’s Yao Ming all over again

[@acedawg2k169]

I dare him to land on the lakers with Bron and AD…… goodness

[@Sole10Kicks]

Dont worry he with Ja, JJJ, ajd Bane. Go GRIZZLIES!!!

[@stephenwa7417]

[@LameloBall-eq4ls]

Your so dumb d1 players can’t hold him what makes you think you can?

[@zionmorpheus]

[@emiliothepoet]

His bag is he’s 7’4” with touch and decent footwork for a guy his size.

[@jasonaby2975]

What are you talking about? His post game is literally flawless.
