Edey is one of the few humans on the planet who can throw Mark around like a rag doll.

TJ continues to improve. Pretty excited for his offseason.

Re: GT: Charlotte vs Grizzlies April 8th 7 PM EST
Edey belongs in this league, and Memphis got a gift picking where they did. If, and this is a huge IF, the league decides to do something about the current game (3 point barrage fix), that could open the gate for a bigger role by big men in the post.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

They will, which is why I was so open to getting Edey. The game will shift back to Duncan/Hakeem low post bigs again over the next 10 years

He had a good game, but at age 22 he is averaging 9 pts and 8 rebounds per game.
Also, a good rule of thumb to not take the last 10 games of the NBA season too serious- we see crazy things during this time of the year that usually don't indicate anything in following years.

Mark really does have some problems when he doesn't have a 6 inch standing reach advantage on his opponent. Now, he actually does against like 75% of the league, but he's going to have to become 1) stronger 2) more skilled for the remaining 25%

Strength, especially lower body strength, is his biggest weakness at the moment. As you said, his length makes up for it most of the time, but if he can become strong enough to not be moved off his spot he'll truly become a force. I hope he can actually do some lifting this offseason.

Re: GT: Charlotte vs Grizzlies April 8th 7 PM EST
Just stopping in to say KJ did literally everything you could hope for from someone after that play. I appreciate the way he handled it and hope he knows that most Grizz fans understand it wasn't intentional. Reckless sure, but there was zero ill will. Just an unfortunate situation. Here's to hoping you guys get some lottery luck! I'd be down to have Flagg pair with your young guys.

He has a broken wrist so is done for the season, but otherwise all good. He avoided anything more serious and actually was at shoot around with the team this morning. Given how bad that looked, I'll take it.

that's honestly awesome to hear considering the dude got straight up KO'ed on the court, happy for him that he's up and about, and with the team.
