A new season brings renewed hopes, players who can change the competition, and one of them is Zach Edey. This 22-year-old Canadian center standing at 2.24m has left no one indifferent, having broken all imaginable records in the NCAA and aiming to show that giants with talent can still succeed in the NBA.
Slow, clumsy, lacking in shooting, a defensive liability, not very athletic... These are the criticisms that Zach Edey faces. Since the Memphis Grizzlies used their first-round Draft pick to recruit the Canadian, catastrophic predictions emerged, warning that the NCAA style of play favors players like him much more, but in the NBA, all his flaws would be inevitably exposed. However, the impressions from preseason games and practices are very positive.
The Canadian possesses a unique talent, foot mobility, and hand sensitivity that make him unstoppable in the paint. If he can take care of his body and if the Memphis Grizzlies coaching staff regulate his minutes and efforts, he could emerge as a truly game-changing player. Especially considering how he could develop a special connection with Ja Morant, whose speed and playmaking ability provide a strong foundation for anticipating great performances from Zach Edey. He is already a favorite for Rookie of the Year, and if he delivers strong performances, he could make a big impact in the league.
