Zach Edey improved in so many ways as a basketball player during his time at Purdue. But the 7-foot-4 center said he's proudest of his growth as a leader during his four-year career with the Boilermakers.
Zach Edey developed in a number of ways during his four-year career at Purdue. He went from a no-name recruit to a back-to-back National Player of the Year award winner. But the 7-foot-4 center revealed that his growth as a leader is really what helped him become such a great player.
"I think my growth as a leader is what I'm most proud of. I had never really been that guy on a team before I got to Purdue," Edey said. "My freshman year, it was a process — my freshman year I wasn't the guy. My sophomore year I had a bigger role and then my junior year it was my team. And I had never really dealt with that before.
The 7-footer also leaves West Lafayette as Purdue's all-time leading scorer and rebounder. As a two-time All-American selection, Edey's name and No. 15 are already hanging in the rafters of Mackey Arena.
