Zach Edey, the 7-foot-4 rookie for the Memphis Grizzlies, displayed his defensive skills and rebounding prowess in a game against the LA Clippers. While his offensive output was limited, he contributed significantly to the team's success through defensive plays and securing rebounds. This performance highlights Edey's unique ability to impact the game beyond scoring, making him a contender for Rookie of the Year.
A 7-foot-4 gargantuan who had long dominated college basketball, Zach Edey made for one of the more interesting lottery selections in NBA Draft history.
Drafted at No. 9, Edey was added to the perfect situation in Memphis, allowed to both flank the team’s talented core in the starting lineup or play reserve big man minutes. Monday, he did the former, playing alongside superstar Ja Morant, sharpshooter Desmond Bane, two-way star Jaren Jackson Jr. and fellow rookie Jaylen Wells in the starting lineup.
Overall, Edey's lack of offense didn't matter, as he created more opportunites for his team and nabbed them from the opposition, a skill few rookies have been able to portray this early in their NBA careers.
