The big fella is gonna prove them wrong!
Big mane
BIG MANE!@@neanam
Please take care of him. You got the most humble, hard-working, intelligent, generous superstar.
Sincerely,
Purdue Nation
He seems so humble and chill. We welcome you Edey!
Seems like a good Canadian kid
This guy will have 0 off the court problems and will also help in the locker room. He is just a good dude.
He's got that "us against the world" attitude that works here in Memphis. Can't wait to see big dog on the court.
Watching from Toronto Canada. A new Grizzlies fan and new subscriber too.
As a Memphian I really appreciate everything Canada has blessed us with the Grizzlies back in '01 and now Edey.
Thank y'all so murch. (Yes I said murch)
@@neanamdon’t forget dillon brooks too! miss DB
Shoutout Canada! We love our Canadians in Memphis, BC, DB, now Edey
@@neanam love y'all accent
😂lol
He can average a double double in 20 minutes. A+
Na Steven Adams use to move up and down the court .
@EthaJeffaP_68 The crazy part about that is he ain't nearly as slow as they make it seem. No, he ain't a world-class sprinter, but he does have lateral movement.
@EthaJeffaP_68 he’s not even that slow for his size. His lane agility time was faster than pascal siakam and kawhi Leonard. And his 3/4 court sprint was great
@EthaJeffaP_68 let's be real fam..... how many NBA Centers are actually part of the fast break?? Unless they stole the ball the Center gone be trailing every time.
@EthaJeffaP_68 He might look slow on TV but if you see him in person and ESPECIALLY in practice he is one of the fastest players for Purdue!
I'm so excited for Zach to join the Grizzlies. This kid is as hardworking as they come! Grizzlies are a top team as far as development, and I trust Coach Jenkins to know how to get the most out of Zach's talent. He's an elite screener and finisher, which will be incredible to have alongside Ja. He's an elite rebounder and especially on the offensive glass. The rim protection of him and Jaren sharing the floor will be incredible. So hyped!
Can’t wait til he prove people wrong. Dude is gonna be legit
As a Purdue Alumni that got to see him play. Memphis got an amazing player. Mentally and Physically, he’s got it all. I’m going to be watching Grizzlies games for sure
Rookie of the year.... remember i told you that
i'm from france shame i would love to know if he can speak french as a canadian.....
Rookie of the Year!
Love this guy will bring back the dominant true center back to the nba and dominate if coached right !!!!!!
Zach edey is literally and figuratively the definition of a grizzly seriously perfect fit, one could say divine fit. Like wemby on the spurs. Maybe even better. We love you zach and rooting for you keep proving them wrong and more importantly proving it to yourself you know who you are and want you want continue to take it. They won’t be able to stop you!
Alright calm down there with the Spurs and Wemby.
😂😂🤣🤣 I swear everything in Gary’s set looks tiny next to Edey including Gary‼️😂😂🤣
I love that guy Zach Edey. He is so humble and was great at Purdue. All the best for Zach!
Grizz loves us some underdogs let em doubt we play better in the dark 🤫😤
HELL YEAH!
Good luck Zach! Wish my Raps got you.
No we didn’t 💀
Wish my Spurs drafted you!
perfect fit in Canada
There are 20 nine NBA teams that are going to regret failing to draft Zach Edey. Easily the largest, tallest, longest and most skilled big man in this draft. Congratulations Memphis. He should dominate for years!
Classic Edey .. I can hear the lessons taught by the Purdue staff and his parents ringing through.. solid basis for a great career
cant wait for Zach Edey to prove the haters wrong. hes gonna be a beast
I saw him close out on Dalton Knecht pretty well. Gonna be a multiple nba champ.
THis makes me like zach even more
I did tape review for this draft for 3 NBA scouts. Zach was my guy. I probably watched everything on him. All of it. He's a monster in the making.
Temper your expectations. 12/12/3 is a realistic stat line this year. That should give him the ROY. Dont expect big offensive nights this year.
Next year- He could become another Shaq. 25/15/3.
Here's how and why: He's one of the largest men in the NBA immediately. You PNR and he's the stalker. Ja misses, Zach eats. Ja gets pressed, Zach eats.
On D it's very simple: Hes Aquaman. Sit him down in the post and run a 131 zone. It's essentially a man hybrid with the C in the block permanently.
Sheed said it best 2 months ago. "Eventually, you gotta bang low. You have to go down there. Edey? Man, nah you aint eating on him."
You have to go to the basket. 80% of the NBA game is PNR or Drive and Kick. Edey doesn't have to switch. You just sit him on the block. First time he evaporates a top guard like Curry on impact, it changes the narrative. You cant go down there with Frank(My nickname for Edey as in Frankenstein).
He's far more athletic than you've seen. He can absolutely run. He can shoot. He bodied Clingan and Sarr defensively at the combine. Ate em up.
Finally, He's a winner. He's also insanely durable. This interview shows you a guy that only thinks about basketball. Memphis got a steal at 9 IMO, and ive been reviewing drafts for NBA scouts since 06.
I was aware of the footage posted by Givony, but what do you mean by bodying Clingan and Sarr at the combine? Was there a secret scrimmage? Also I heard he completely dominated in workouts against other prospects but do you know what they looked like?
@@iunnoi28 i was at the combine. It was a special gift from a Scout I know.
1. The "Combine" isn't just the set drills and scrimmages. There are elite level pickup games that occur under strict secrecy. That's where you move up or down. Not the TV show.
2. Zach did dominate the drills. He outperformed every big by a wide margin. He was stronger than Shaq, if your doing the raw numbers. He's faster than Clingan, Stronger too. He shot better than Sarr.
3. Bodied- in the closed runs, he murdered Clingan so bad he fell from 2 to 7 in a night. Portland couldn't pass on him, they created his myth. Their scouts were the highest on him.
He blistered Sarr in the next game I saw. Just emberrased him. Also, I'm pretty sure that's when Atlanta chose Resachier. He had a 20+ point triple dip by my count. Edey only scored 8 but 6 were from the line on 7 attempts and he dunked on Sarr. Sarr had 5/7/2. It was bad. BTW Edey had 17 rips and 6 blocks.
Game 3 explained the first 10 picks IMO.
Resachier had another nice game. Sarr had a better game, but he played the 4 with Edey this time. Holland lost his fkn mind. I mean he got so hot the bench guys actually put a fan on him when he sat down in acknowledgement. 30+ in 25 minutes. Scary.
Castle looked like a solid guard. Dilly looked lost but he's so athletic. The guy that Utah took had a nice 2 way game.
Clingan struggled and got gassed way too fast. He's going to be the first performance bust. He cannot post up on d at all. His legs are comically thin.
Edey - Notice how he exploded up the board the 3rd day of the combine? Those games happened the night before. That's real basketball. The real test.
He looked like a grown man in a kindergarten class. He played like that too. He dominated. If he didn't score, he ended a players game with a screen, grabbed 15 boards and blocked the referee just to make sure everyone got one. LoL. Memphis got the best player in the draft. He's my ROY pick.
You wanted a book ...... Hope you read it.
@@iunnoi28 short version: Zach looked like the number one pick.
@@iunnoi28 last thing.
"Potential". This is the myth that gets you fired. I do not believe in it at all as it relates to drafting. Wanna know why we have so many bad drafts now? Potential.
Alex Sarr is Andrea Bargnani all over again. 7' unicorn who can shoot in practice. Had a meh combine. Why 2? Because somebody in DC thinks they can lab grow a Giannis clone. You can't. It doesn't work like that.
The NBA is 82 games in roughly 5 months. Add the Summer league, preseason and playoffs it's 100 minimum in 6-8 months 150 if you get to the finals.
There is no time to develop a guy. There's no "offseason". Like baseball there are 5 tools plus the mental aspect.
Shooting, Passing, Defense, Rebounding and Athleticism. You need to be elite at 2 to make an NBA roster. 3 to start consistently. 4 is all star and 5 is HOF.
The NBA's flaw is thinking they can take a one tool guy and develop him. Jahlil Okafor. Markelle Fultz. One tool. Bust.
@@thequixoticangler3364 I was hearing that no less than 8 teams were interested in acquiring him at around 14 and that the main concern about grabbing him in the upper 10 was because they were scared of being fired if he didn’t pan out. It’s also funny because I swear Edey has the only ad out there which is extremely strange if people didn’t think he would pan out.
Boiler Up! Feed the Edey!
Zach is a class act and I can’t wait for my Boiler Bro to make his dreams come true.
Use the haters as fuel and play your best and make them hate you more. Haters will hate, so just let them hate as you excel.
Can't wait to root for you my friend. Look forward to watching you grow and enjoy yourself 😊
I do not see how people see Alex Sarr above Zach Edey. 14 pts, 15 rebounds, and 4 blocks in his latest summer league game. Edey is gonna be a monster
Edey just started playing basketball at 16 and he's now 22. That's just 6 years of learning and developing. There's still a lot more to learn before he can reach his full potential.
With one of the highest per capita violent crime rates in the US, let's hope the beg fella stays safe in Memphis.
He will
Love how he starts off by saying he plans on being here for a while. So ready for this season!
Zach causing traffic accidents just walking down the street. Sophia Loren used to do that🏀
Hahahaha!
jumping on the wagon now because I'm a big Zach fan
I remember seeing this kid starting out with Northern Kings in Toronto. he was like a baby giraffe out there when he first started...now 2x national player of the year. Amazing. I wish him luck.
Cavs fan here!! I can't wait to see Edey play!!🔥🔥🔥
Edey doesn’t look like a stereotypical NBA player, and that’s why people have doubted him. Given his stats, he should have been drafted even higher.
Hope he dominates to prove people wrong.
Let's go BIG MANE! He will be much better than Clingan too. He got that dog in him. Perfect pick at #9.
Definitely his new nickname Big Mane
Welcome To Memphis Big Mane 🐻
Amazingly enough, after listening to him soej in this vidro, I'm thinking that Zach Edey's #1 "Basketball Strength" might not be his 7' 4" height or his physical basketball skills. It is just as likely to be his obvious overall intelligence! Wishing him continued success in life😊
Memphis Grizzlies are no joke. Edey, Wells, and Cam Spencer are all gonna be starters.
Focused on basketball and not that Drake nonsense. gotta love it
You know Drake got family in Memphis now I bet he wanna be a Grizzlies fan. 😏
drake rap beef is stupid
Rookie of the year!!!
So articulate....and handsome...and tall!
I like him, I hope for the best for him. it's sad that someone has to deal with so much Negativity.
I'm really looking forward to seeing how it goes. I'm pulling for Zach.
I am so happy that he is going to Memphis. Easy win for the rest of the teams. So will his mom be on the highlights more than him? If you look at Purdue there were 2 maybe 3 players that did more for the boilers. We have seen this big man hype flop so many times. Good luck
My wife met him yesterday.
What was that like?
Memphis can be tough if Zach has a great summer league and catches on Fast 💨 Memphis will potential can throw a big line up with him Jaren Jackson Jr match up with Teams like Minnesota & Denver he’s 💪 strong.
Level headed brother
It’s a parade inside my city yeah 🔥
dude is gonna b so fkn good for memphis
That was the most uncomfortable i've seen Zach dealing with a question, having to defend Drake. hahahahha
Boiler Up!
Go Grizz!
Great interview GP!
They didn't let Verno interview him 😂😂😂
Change the thumbnail caption NOW!!! Edey is far from a hate filled person the caption leads people to believe. You are introducing him to people who don't know him. If you want to say what you mean, say he is fueled by haters or fueled by doubters. Either of these do not make it sound like he is full of hate.
You provide the folks who uploaded the interview with some excellent titles other than the "Fueled by Hate' that pops up as the clip starts. Maybe they will show Edey some respect and use one of them?
Spurs fan here, good luck young boy. 🎉
big hand long arm strong body fast speed, always relax, edey era,
Marc Gasol will be working with him
This young man was raised by wise parents. You can tell he has humility and is well spoken. He is very calm and reminds me of Tim Duncan. I wish him the best in his NBA career. Great kid that can be great if he can avoid the big man injury risk playing a sport that is very demanding of your body.
Boiler up
Let's go
fab...
that man got a deep ass voice
@kequonbolden6972 Yeh like many giants over 7'0. Yao, Olivier Rioux, etc.
Put Jackson at the power forward position he’s 6-10 and only gets you 5.5- 6 boards as a big man.
I'll never for the life of me understand why people thought Clingan is better. Edey completely destroyed him in the final. Dude was two time player of the year and he was getting compared to Boban. Such a joke. As a Canadian i wish i could have seen him play in the Olympics but i definitely going to be watching Memphis this year.
Cant to see the Grizzlies play.
Thumbs down on the "fueled by hate" byline.
Big Mane gone be cold with Ja, JJJ, Bane
I hope he proves us wrong. He seems like a super cool guy, but sadly, im on the side of not believing in him. Hope he can make an impact on today's game. Ill be rooting for him 🫡
Should have went #1
THE SPURS HAD 2 PICKS THIS DUDE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A San Antonio Spur. you can't let your Division rival's get better they gave there picks and players to Minnesota 2 YEARS IN A ROW.
I feel the Spurs missed out!
Edey should have been a Spur at the 8th pick!
Its not "fueled by hate", its part of the social expectation and environment Asian Americans live under in America which is they need to be twice as good twice as smart etc as an ordinary citizen to get any consideration.. sorry .. there I said it.. Its the truth when you are a second-class citizen. Zach Edey will be in an All-Star game within the next 4 years.. there I said that too.
Boo hoo must be so hard
@@Mister_Meister_ great thing about comments like yours is that I know that you will get yers :) enjoy it
they expect Asians to be all doctors and rocket scientists along with basketball for him to go top 5
Nazi America
Prove your mettle young fellow
The bear is attacking the nba
man really ditched canada's olympic team to get "comfy" in memphis. kinda sad especially since center is Canada's weakest position
Memphis is better than Hawks so
He looks fragile
improve ur mid range shot zach，you will be better than Yao Ming😂
As a Blazers fan while I think Clingan has potential, I think Zach will be a multiple time champion and one of the best bigs in the league. I think we will regret not taking Edey at #7 in the long run. I think even Atlanta and Washington will regret not taking him. Happy for you Memphis
Yes he's very underrated!
I am going to enjoy watching other players and teams dominant this stiff giant. Haven't we seen this big man hype flop so many times before. Zach is not that big just tall. No agility. I but his mom will be on the highlight film more than him.
Douche post
I'm getting you banned
@lolphukyu who tf is you. Get me banned from what??? Your delusional world your opinion matters to anybody?
Gary let him talk. At least a little.
really want to see zach represent canada to beat those stupid nba asses in olympics
