Watching from Toronto Canada. ZE the Big Maple will be a beast for Memphis Grizzlies.
He should have stayed in the Olympics. They need his size
All the haters are going to hide.
We’re gonna call him “The Mane in the Middle” or “The Big Mane in the Middle” Lol
@blablablaa14 Canada does need his size.
Purdue fan here. Edey is a beast. He can also play huge minutes without getting tired.
These 2 have the most hilarious dynamic
T
Bot lol 😂 or maybe you don’t watch anything good lol
@@rickymalcolm9634 bro what, these two are one of the best basketball podcasts out there
2 nerds. Cant lie its entertaining
They have been funny af for years
Love when K'OC gets mad at him
The about-face by Vernon on Edey is hilarious to watch in real time
Reasons why they are sitting Edey out. He’s a beast and I love his trash talk and his attitude.. Edey talks crazy trash too
Slight ankle sprain Monday night
Who would have thought the 2x NPOY and most dominant big man we've seen in awhile in the college game might have a decent NBA career.
The addition of Edey is a huge bullet point. The gizzlies will be gunning for the top teams. Ja has them in his sights, and there's no limit to the scope of their firepower. They're going to be blazing a path next year, undoubtedly filled with wins.
I didn’t know if Edey would be good right away, or if he’d amount to much, but we all knew he’s a big body with some skills. What surprised me about draft night was, if you’re a western team, why not take Edey? You’re gonna have to play Wemby for the next dozen years, so why not get a guy who can body him for 48 minutes?
Morant and Edey are like the anti-Conley and Gasol personality wise
The not throwing the ball into the post is something that people always complained about with Wemby, but the Spurs players probably have never done that in their life so none of them knew how to even throw an entry pass for the first 6 months of the NBA season. They probably had to teach that in practice
Yeah Wemby is that huge of a culture shock and game changer for how the Spurs would approach their offense. Granted Pop needed to see about 20 games of Wemby's catch radius when he's by the rim. But with how consistent it became, its no surprise it continued to be a year long learning experience for the team along with other things Wemby was picking up quick.
Love how everyone is now jumping on the Zach Edey bandwagon. Pretty soon everyone will be saying they never had any doubts.
In the national title game he scored 37 of his teams 60 points, he's had 3 of the 4 highest WS/48 seasons since the stat was tracked in NCAA. How Edey wasn't #1 overall baffles me. He may not be super versatile, but he may be the most dominant post scoring prospect ever.
Definitely not ever. Shaq, Duncan, Olajuwan and Kareem to name a few, were all elite post scoring prospects that come to mind.
Scouts are too hung up on switching and 3 pointers
He is absolutely a game changer and Memphis is lucky that this guy was underrated for some reason. He is a starter right away. He is probably going to win rookie of the year.
He’s 22 years old playing against 19 year olds. He’s older than Anthony Edwards.
Teams usually pick the top 19 year olds with the highest ceilings early.
College stars who’ve been in college multiple years (Curry, Lillard, Jimmer, etc.) usually get picked by win now teams like the Grizzlies
You'll find out
If you want to teach your guys to throw an entry pass - get a Purdue assistant coach for a month this summer. Obviously, they know how to do it up in West Lafayette. Bring down Brandon Brantley (big man coach) and Braden Smith (point guard) from Purdue and have them spend 3-4 weeks teaching these guys how it is done. Edey is a fast study - he'll help you get everything fine tuned.
Boiler Up!
Purdue is starting to produce some real nba players consistently
Few more coming too
Glad this show is finally on yt
Where can I find the full podcast please?
Reminds me of OKC drafting Adams in 2013 with Ja as Russ
First 8 teams will regret not picking Edey. It will be the Edey and Ja pick-n-roll killer to other teams.
If Eady turns into Easy Eady Buckets, Grizz are going to be very fun to watch.
I think he should
But he's so far down the pecking order
Ja Bane JJJ are eating so many shots/game
Grizzlies are definitely a sleeper pick to make a deep run in next years playoffs granted they stay healthy of course. I’m not sure how good Edey will be but I think he’s at least going to be a helpful piece for 20-25 minutes when needed if not better.
ZE is just what the Grizz need after an awful season. Honestly think ZE can bring so much excitement to the Grizz that Ja will be extra engaged and committed to the straight and narrow.
Vernon looking like he about to become Veronica lol
Is Chris wearing sparkly lip gloss?
Yes
These two have amazing chemistry
He has a high ceiling. And go Purdue. The spacing in the nba will help him.
68 fouls is insane
Hard to say either way summer league pretty meaningless in if a guy can be good day 1 or not gonna have to see how he does in camp and preseason against nba guys instead of just mostly g leaguers
All the draft picks showing out for the Grizz already.
You are ao right about entry passes. I am a bulls fan and no o e has been able to throw a good entry pass since Lonzo got hurt 2 and a half seasones ago.
Every time you want to roll with Kevin he goes and says something dumb at the end… Zach Edey will not be the reason the Grizzlies make the NBA Finals, it will be the return of Ja Morant. Edey having a Derrick Lively level immediate impact will definitely help.
2 time college player of the year, and THE BOY USED TO PLAY HOCKEY....he will *DOMINATE* the league, buckle up.
I liked the dive, but I about had a heart attack. It looked like the Steven Adams dive. We just need healthy people.
Still pissed he's not on OKC
What if my grandma was a bicycle
Toronto should of traded up to the 1st pick to draft him. smh
His footwork is still raw to be honest he honest even have fundamentals always bringing the ball down install of keeping it high
God I’d love if that opening part was true . Gotta keep the team healthy… and Ja away from IG
It's because he's Canadian. Edey destroyed clingan in the finals. Clingan getting drafted before him is going to be laughed at for the next decade.
Especially if he becomes somebody who gets eaten on switches
He will be worthless
Yes because every center switches and doesn't go into drop coverage.
He’s a solid rebounder and rim protector. He needs to get stronger I seen him get muscled by someone smaller than him. He has a good motor from what I saw in the summer league game
Bro what?? Dude is objectively the strongest dude on the floor. Someone might’ve had leverage - but nobody is stronger in terms of basketball strength.
Stronger lol. Dude your clueless, he needs to get quicker that’s his problem
@@timboslice8559Ran the floor perfectly well. Just as quick as some guys on the floor
@@joshh.3870 I saw him get backed down by a smaller guy and it surprised me how easy dude did it’s maybe that was a rarity but that stood out to me
@@timboslice8559 it’s ok to disagree without insults.
Edey could be effective to start but it's reckless to say Memphis will win it all.
Edey will have a hard time handling the workload. Too big, the grind may kill his knees
Bro played 40 min in the National championship. He’ll be fine playing 20 in the nba
The hawks do everything wrong
He looked good but my word is this the overreaction of the century. And no shock it was made by KOC either btw.
Define, "Good"
And they have no shot to win the Finals. Their best player has barely played in 2+ years.
Another year. Another immediate summer league overreaction.
No. Edey is the real deal
Sounds like a butt hurt Vols fan
Well its different because his "problems" were lateral quickness and actual rim protection
He immediately showed he was a dominant force vs actual NBA players
@@thecarter8700 Summer League is NOT full of NBA players.
@@neanam I'll come back to this next summer after he averages 5 and 3.
Edey missed the chance to be an Olympian for this garbage??? Not even playing the kid in summer league…grizz execs give your damn head a shake and let this kid go rep his country..shame on yall
