There were doubts among some observers about whether former Purdue standout center Zach Edey could effectively transition to the NBA level.
However, Edey, who was selected in the lottery by the Grizzlies, proved his critics wrong with a stellar performance against Indiana on Monday, as reported by Damichael Cole of the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
In just 19 minutes of play, Edey showcased his scoring prowess by finishing the game with an impressive 23 points, shooting 10-for-15 from the field.
Additionally, he contributed significantly on the boards, grabbing nine rebounds. His performance was marked by an array of skillful low-post moves, including his trademark hook shots, demonstrating his ability to excel in the paint.
Edey’s strong showing is a promising sign for his future in the league.
