Zach Edey, the No. 9 pick for the Memphis Grizzlies, has rapidly become a subject of discussion in the NBA. At 7 feet 4 inches tall, Edey’s classic skill set has captured the interest of both fans and critics, sparking uncertainty about how his playing style will adapt in the league. His initial games have displayed glimpses of potential and opportunity for improvement.

Mixed Performances in Early Games

Edey has already seen a range of outcomes while playing on the court. He got disqualified after only 16 minutes during the first game, but bounced back with a solid performance of scoring 13 points against the Houston Rockets. In the most recent game against the Brooklyn Nets, he once again showed a strong performance by scoring 13 points in just 18 minutes, hitting 6 out of 9 shots. Even though he only managed to secure two rebounds and contribute with a steal and an assist, Edey’s scoring efficiency was notable.

Adapting to NBA Speed and Style

Edey still faces his greatest obstacles in improving his defensive quickness and adjusting to an NBA offense that doesn’t rely on feeding him the ball constantly. Despite having an advantage due to his size, he must demonstrate the ability to match the speed of faster players and excel in a role requiring rapid adaptability.

Looking Ahead for Edey and the Grizzlies

With the Grizzlies currently at 2-3, Zach Edey could be challenged for his starting spot by other skilled frontcourt players. Memphis plans to incorporate Zach Edey into the rotation as they search for the optimal lineup. His upcoming challenge will be facing the Milwaukee Bucks, where he will compete against players such as Brook Lopez and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Edey is starting his journey, and every game offers a chance to develop and improve.
