I don’t think they’re hating. Summer League is basically AAU ball. So players don’t have contracts or looking to make a name for themselves. It’s basically selfish basketball. Edey literally has nothing to worry about since he was Memphis’s first pick.

It’s because a lot of them don’t care for the win but to make a team after summer league. So they’re trying to show what they have other than letting a player that was a lottery pick show out.

Yeah, Edey doesn't need to be a stopper. No one will stop Edey. Just impede him, make his production more difficult. It would be a team effort, with JJJ, and defending the other positions. But Edey presents as a potentially different defender than everyone else Wemby will face in the paint. Just needs to keep that chip on his shoulder, work hard, and not get too frustrated. He was the best player in NCAA. He won't be in the NBA. That isn't a bad thing, if he responds well. Looks like he has.
Edey!!!
A minute and a half of highlights is nasty work.
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!
he can really be another Yao Ming, love how he uses his size and doesn’t force him to be a guard

Not near as good of a shooter as Yao. But the guy gets better at such a rapid pace…. So I think that’s something he could develop….and he’s much more mobile. He’s got great hands. People keep talking about him being slow and heavy footed. He looks like he gets up and down the court better than most 7 footers….And he’s what? Like 7’5 290 lol ? Honestly I see a lot of Steven Adams and Brook Lopez in him….. but 4 or 5 inches taller. I like the sound of that.

He him!!!
I just hope Zach Edey's not done developing his skills and his physique. He'll be pushed around and opposing teams will know his weakness. If he's weak shooting midrange or threes, they'll push him to the perimeter. That's why it's important for him to add a midrange game.

Should have way more touches gg was ball hogging
Such a good fit. Grizzlies are great at letting guys play to their strengths - they get a big monster who likes to roll to the basket? They are gonna let him roll to the basket. His rebounding and size just scream Memphis. As a Celtics fan, my wildest dream was that all the teams would listen to their scouts, and decide that Edey was, like, too big and slow to play, and he'd fall allll the way down to Boston - who would have to take him, bc he's too consistent of a winner to pass up. But I'm glad he landed in the House That Tony Allen Built, he's got a real shot, there.
This is exactly why I was praying this dude fell to the Knicks in the draft but I knew he would not, he’s a force out there
Well dayum 😂
I begged my Spurs to draft this guy, but no! There seemed to be some sort of mental barrier or blockage that kept most NBA teams from seeing just how dominant Zach Edey will be in his NBA career! Good job Memphis! Too bad my Spurs were so short sighted; At least as far as not drafting Zach!

Why is Walker Kessler still playing summer league?
Those shorts make him look 8 feet tall lol. The Grizz are the perfect franchise for Edey. Return of the big man. *"Whether you like it or don't like it, learn to love it!"* - Ric Flair WOOOOOOOOO
Back to back turn over for jazz edey is dominating electrifying so crazy🔋💯⚡🏆🐻💙🔥
I said it when they drafted him. Once ppl rethink what the Grizzlies are doing and think about Edey as a valuable option at C.. They will be happy with this draft and Jaylen Wells was who I wanted my Pacers to pick up with their first late pick.. Dude is a phenomenal shooter and can create his own shot a bit, high I.Q.. Grizzlies did great with their selections.. also hit on GG, who Pacers let slide past them for no reason... smdh... I'm beginning to become a Grizzlies fan.
Good game for sure
Yeah Edey will be scary, imagine a grown prime edey, he may just become the modern day shaq. Even rookie embiid took some time to become this dominant and grow into his body
Can’t wait to see Ja play with his own tower to lob assist to all game hopefully they play good team ball and Ja comes back healthy he’s easily the most exciting player to watch on the court for me right now him and Ant 🐜

Zach plahed very well, anyone who doubts him is in for a rude awakening.
With Wemby, Holgrom, Eady, Jockic and Lively, wouldnt you say the center spot is back?
I bet he will be in the race for rookie of the year. First picks are solid all-around players but no one has the potential to dominate the league like Edey. Future will tell
So many said he’d be late round and too slow for NBA. Looks very fast for a big.
Baby Marc gasol in the making
This is going to be a problem

way better than bronny😂😂😂

Yao Ming 2.0
The Next Yao Ming
When I saw him in college, I thought he might just be a 12th man stiff in the league, but his footwork is really good. He's been working. He lumbers a bit, but he has potential. And he's gigantic.
Ja Morant when he got drafted: *insert Chris Tucker Rush hour meme of tall guy* He looks a little bit skinny for someone 290 though, did he lose weight?
And bronny gets more coverage than him?
He move good for a big man, don't he?
