He looked like he got thin, he's moving equally as good as Walker Kessler and he's a much better offensive player. This guy will be worth it. Its all about a team using him to his fullest, which might be the Memphis and their balanced defense/shooting/speed that they have with JJJ/Bane/Ja
He might just be a 7'4" Zubac. His post up game is deadly. He was able to constantly take advantage on one on one situations with Walker Kessler. Walker Kessler is arguably the best rim protector in the league, minimum top 3 for sure. He's NBA ready and the teams that passed up on him that needed a Center MESSED UP BAD.
Exactly as advertised. In my opninion. Biig, smart, reaonably agile, understands how to get position in the paint. I.e. Steven Adams replacement that can start right away.
FR his feet are quite quick, for Memphis this makes a lot of sense. When Adams was on the floor the entire team played better. JJ had a breakout season and Ja was taking it to another level until he had an injury. Probably one of the areas Adams has on him is probably his screen setting and passing which is incredibly under rated, Edey offers more on the offensive end tho
Calling him a bust is insane but honestly he's gonna run into the same type of problems Rudy Gobert does which is switching onto smaller players and guarding the perimeter. That being said he has a chance to be ROTY because the Grizzlies will give him the PT. I see him putting up 11ppg 10rbs 2.1 bks
I’ll admit I was kinda wrong I honestly just didn’t think he’d be fast enough laterally to not be a liability on defense but he’s proving me very wrong Never doubted the skill and offensive ability though even being 7’4 he was one of the most efficient high volume scorers in the college ball ever
Edeys teammates need to pass him the ball in the post, they froze him out high key. I'm impressed with the big fella, he's going to be a force in this league!
How does a man half the size of the arena run free to the basket in transition...twice? Very excited for this kid's career, landed in the best possible spot.
Edey was fortunate to escape the Lakers' clutches, avoiding the toxic environment that seems to hinder the growth of talented rookies. Several promising young player who has played for the Lakers has ultimately flourished elsewhere. The likes of Josh Hart, Randle, Ingram, Kuzma, D'Angelo Russell, Zubac, and even Clarkson all saw significant improvement after leaving the Lakers. It's almost as if fate has spared Edey from the Lakers' curse, allowing him to reach his full potential without being stifled by their apparent inability to nurture young talent. Fortunately, we'll get to watch Edey grow alongside Ja Morant, a superstar guard, and Jackson Jr. and from what we all saw Edey will likely surpass Wemby in defensive potential within 3 years.
When I was telling people that he should be a top 10 pick in the draft people were calling me crazy. You can’t teach 7’4 and long arms with good movement
I was wondering the same thing but l think he was waiting for a man to pick him up so one of his teammates on the three point line could be be free since they did get a 3 pointer out of that play
@@seds94yes and he can certainly pass that but they're young guys who don't really know the system. All they're trying to do is test out plays and see what works and what doesn't.
All these idiots saying he won't play he's too "oldschool" it's not like that style of play thrived up until this no touch 3 point era. Edey will be a beast and in glad to watch him. Fundamentals over flashy athleticism
Don’t need him they needed a guard he wouldn’t pair well with wemby plus wemby is a way better version of eddy he can do everything and more and he spaces the floor more
@@jmaltomlinson9921 if you watched the Serbia game, you saw why Wemby is not the ideal 5. The best post players feast against him. Edey would be our 5 and Wemby our 4, just like France is doing now. We would be a force on offense and defense.
Despite all the inconvenient innuendos I think their game and mechanics have some similarity though, the way Zach finishes dunks or seals low post position are indeed reminiscent of Yao, especially in this era where big man tends to float outside three point line
This is just summer league but from Mavs fan, I think Memphis was smart getting this guy. He will struggle but he can bang. Is there any doubt that Memphis will certainly improve the most from last year. Another team that will be in the playoff talk next year.
Grizzlies got a modern Big Country. Wish the Dubs got him! Damn it man! Remember he's a hockey player first so those diving on lose balls will be his thing like Rodman!🤣
i mean he’s not a center though. i know that he’s center height but that doesn’t make him a center, he’s a power forward. they’re building around their players strengths and weaknesses which only makes sense. and edey can play
Man they said this draft was weak but to me, actually seeing these guys, it looks like there are a lot of guys who could of went top 5. I’d say the first 15 guys probably could of went top 5. That weird kid on philly has a nice game too. This probably wasn’t a bad draft
@@seds94 all right I gotcha bro, looks like the Lakers got a pretty good player really late. Idk how he felt that far. He looks like an Austin read with way better potential.
@PixelBaller They drafted another run of the mill combo guard when they could have created the second coming of the twin towers. I'm really starting to think this NBA shit is rigged they can't be this stupid seriously 😒
I don't know why he got drafted that low. He looks really mobile for his size and he isn't lightweight like BolBol or Wemby. I thought this draft is weak, surely there aren't that many that has a better upside than him.

I agree, as a grizz fan I'm glad we got him but if you paired him with wemby and the spurs they would be a nightmare to deal with @nkrumansantos1794
He will have plenty of time to develop a decent midrange jump shot. His job is to defend and rebound along with taking advantage of 1 one 1 situations
He's got to work on his baby hook consistency, confidence & thus speed off both hands and he can log good minutes in the NBA.
To think the Spurs picked Rob Dillingham at #8 over him at #9 and then traded away our #8 pick for middle schoolers
Spurs positioned themselves to get Cooper now next yr.

Big man protector💪🏾 Memphis type of ball GREAT sign in this age of Basketball
That Koran Godwin ad in the beginning brought back memories. Cant believe he's still promoting those ball hog gloves after all these years
actually i dont even know if he intended to put it here. "Link in bio" it says, but there's no bio and no link
idk why people thought he was gonna be “late first round” pick ☠️ never made sense from the beginning
Refreshing to see the system work in Eddy favor. I think with 10-15 minutes a games he will make a huge impact for the griz
10-15? hes gonna play 25

Finally after Lin's time ended, I want to watch NBA again!!!!
Shouting like a Sabonis on every contact
They using that moving Camera too much man!
Edey also caught like 2-3 bodies this game as well
He sets great quality screens. If he do DHO with a shooter like GG Jackson, the defending big has to come up or it's gonna be easy 3s all day.
He’s hands down one of the best bets in the NBA draft. I still don’t know who went #1
1:15 he missed that back door cut
Saw that, he was lowkey lucky #3 ran up for the 3
Looking great! seems he spent time on the weight room
He needs work, but he needs work from a big man if can work on his hook shot he can be a 30pt per game player in 3-4 yrs
He is smart!
The grizzlies needing a 7ft5 guy because their star center doesn’t want to grab a single rebound is crazy to me . Edey looks good btw
i mean he’s not a center though. i know that he’s center height but that doesn’t make him a center, he’s a power forward. they’re building around their players strengths and weaknesses which only makes sense. and edey can play
Jaren has never been a center that's why Adams was so important for us. The more depth the better
Def looks faster than he did at Purdue
9th overall pick Toronto big Zach Edey. Raptors traded the 8th pick for Jakob Poeltl... Great job guys.
i mean poetl is solid but ya having edey would have been awesome for toronto
Man they said this draft was weak but to me, actually seeing these guys, it looks like there are a lot of guys who could of went top 5. I’d say the first 15 guys probably could of went top 5. That weird kid on philly has a nice game too. This probably wasn’t a bad draft
Walker Kessler is also really good
Of course he is good. As a third-year ready NBA player and aiming at a starter, if he is not in his current state, he will be in trouble.
Clark puching the air right now
If only Edey was smaller, slower, and less skilled. Then he could have been a top 2 pick.
Wendy who 😂
ROY for sure....
Hes ready
He shouldve passed that 1:14
