Zach Edey, 7-4

[peZt]

You know people are getting desperate when they post a 3 second Twitter video of a missed dunk, when he had a great game otherwise.

Edey is gonna expose a lot of wannabe scouts and experts in here

[NO-KG-AI]

Whether or not Edey turns out good, it’s telling how emotionally invested this troll is. Edey has one good summer league game and he spun out of control and got suspended lmfao.

His team lost the game, a good chance if he makes that putback dunk under 10 seconds they win. I guess that is not worth mentioning?

It is.

It is also worth mentioning his team likely loses by more points if he doesn't play as well as he did.

Right but that should be a dunk 95% of the time, I am not nitpicking him missing a buzzer beating midrange shot.

I said he played pretty well, but it is also 1 game. He didn't even play the next 2 games I guess because of injury.

Minor Ankle Soreness. I would say if you are the #9 pick and not 100%, you should sit out of a Summer League game.

Usually yeah, but when one of the things people kept going on about was his durability, him missing 2 games this early on is noteworthy.

It is certainly a data point.

[JMAC3]

I would be interested to hear from a Grizzly fans on what they expect his role to be this year. He is currently the betting favorite for RoY but looking at Memphis roster I think it will be harder to get him mins then what appears at first glance.

They have a bunch of 3/4 type of guys that will push Jaren into playing more center than expected, along with Aldama. Clark is back and they sometimes used him at center too in the past.

He could top out at 20 mins per game pretty easy in my opinion.

He rolled his ankle pretty early in the game, think he stepped on somebodys foot. He retightened his shoe and walked around gingerly for a minute of two but ultimately played through it.

Might not see him again for the rest of summer league. Not because of the injury, but because he doesn't have anything left to prove in summer league.

Ja Morant (33) Marcus Smart (15)
Marcus Smart (14) Luke Kennard (24) Vince Williams III (10)
Desmond Bane (33) Vince Williams III (15)
Jaren Jackson Jr (22) GG Jackson II (18) Santi Aldama (8)
Zach Edey (20) Brandon Clarke (18) Jaren Jackson Jr (10)

Something like this. Obviously injuries happen, but none of GG Jackson II, Santi Aldama or Brandon Clarke are "maximized" at the 5. Many of Clarke's minutes will be with JJJ as they will be the 4/5 [and you can decide how you want to determine who the center is].

Aldama played 22 and 26 mpg the last two years, idk if he drops all the way down to 8 mpg.
GG only playing 18 mpg after playing 26 as a rookie
Would also be a career low for Brandon Clark.

All that and Edey is still only finding 20 mins.

[JMAC3]

Also, zero Konchar and LaRavia mins which I don't think are certainties.

Okay, but the team is much deeper. GG Jackson II, Jaren Jackson Jr and Brandon Clarke are all on the roster now.

GG only playing 18 mpg after playing 26 as a rookie

You should look at how injury riddled the 2024 Memphis team was before you respond to me again.

You do realize GG played in just 4 of Memphis' first 36 games, right? He played a total of 18 minutes in those 4 games he played in. He played a total of 1200 minutes. 1200 Minutes / 80 games is 15 MPG.

Or do you think GG is a 26 MPG player on a title contender? Because I don't.

Would also be a career low for Brandon Clark.

Returning from injury on the deepest team in Memphis Grizzles History--yeah.

All that and Edey is still only finding 20 mins.

Yeah, not counting injuries

Lol oh my gosh this is the first I have heard of the NBA and the Grizzlies, wow they had injuries? Who knew? I thought they just went from being good to awful all by themselves....Thank goodness I looked before I responded to you again.

Anyways yes GG was one of the better rookies last year, I doubt Memphis is looking to reduce his mins regardless of health.
Very unlikely Edey is a better player than GG and deserves more mins at this point.

Edey is very likely better than GG Jackson.

Edey is much older, has a more NBA ready body and has more NBA transferable skills up to this point than GG.

GG is a terrible passer and playmaker, incredibly weak with his undeveloped body, is an inconsistent [yet improving] shooter and leaves a lot to be desired on the defensive end.

He was great given the circumstances [Talent devoid roster, forced into a higher-usage role] but he really isn't going to be a big-time player on a team with title aspirations.

I'd bet money Edey will average more MPG than GG.

His team lost the game, a good chance if he makes that putback dunk under 10 seconds they win. I guess that is not worth mentioning?

Nah. In that case they'd have been tied. So not really a change to expected outcome (b/c he/LaRavia pulled off the much more difficult tip in).

They were down 1 when he missed the dunk.

College iron man sits out meaningless game due to minor owie? His durability makes this irrelevant, not noteworthy.

[clyde21]

i cannot speak for Memphis mins distribution but it would be professional malpractice if GG got less than 20 mins a night with his current trajectory
