    Kleiman made a chess move. He put out false reports saying they wanted Clingon to boost his value for other teams to pick him over Edey. The whole plan was to draft Edey he even said that they been in contact with Zach since last year. Now Memphis has real weapons and will gove teams problems with their size, athleticism, and defense
  • @gwcrispi
    This Boilermaker is now a Grizzlies fan. Edey is a genuinely good person. He needs to bulk up and he can be the next Steven Adams.
  • @Frazedaddy
    He’s reppin team Canada this summer so you’ll get first hand look at this young man early..yall blessed to get zach edey
  • @lilcw76
    Zach should become a politician the way he dodged that Clingan question.πŸ˜‚
  • Nice work grizz, best value big option to replace Big Steve without blowing the budget, get him lifting. Welcome Zach!
  • @DetroitTyler
    When you talk about fit for a pick, couldn't be a better fit. And these days the NBA top talent are mostly bigs, so having a 7'4" to battle with Wemby Jokic etc is very needed.
  • @BassHuey
    Edey is a bigger and as jarring a screener as Steven Adams, a stronger offensive threat from a postup like Shaq and high screen and roll like a Malone. Great insight on his Purdue defense by Kleinman. Note also he had to pace himself in order to play entire games in the NCAA and masterful that uconn stratgey made him run and gassed him in the championships. He will be much more aggressive with rest in the nba. My only concern is how 300lbs will affect those knees over a long nba season.
  • @drewski5k177
    Zach Edey with JJack could be very fun on both ends. Go Grizz!
  • @alimfuzzy
    I'm not a grizzlies fan, but I'm going to be watching them next season. Even at 9, they got a steal.
  • @menelik81
    Zach Randolph, Zach Klieman and Zach Edy . Memphis loves them Zachs!
  • I like the pick, Zach is a hell of a player and especially with Wemby in the west his size will pay off in the long hall
  • @kokkiat
    We always stand by King Kleiman.
  • @dolphinated
    I gotta believe Ja had a "special' request to make this happen.
  • I gotta say Zach had me fooled with that clingon talk. He has redeemed himself now in my eyes.
