Edey summer league
- Thread starter Chi-Boiler
- Start date
All true but teams don't really care about winning or losing summer league games. Its for evaluation purposes only. So it's not surprising that they don't force things and let the players do what they are going to do somewhat, even if that means being a ball hog or not necessarily running plays or strategies designed to maximize winning.
Obviously Memphis thinks Edey belongs because they spent a lottery pick on him, so he's fine for at least a few seasons. We will see more about what Memphis thinks about him in the regular season by whether they start him and how many minutes he plays and how well he does with those minutes. He still has some things to get better at, and also has some things he's already better at than most bigs.
Doesn't look like it. A) does he really need to, and B) they play 3 games in 3 nights.
Speaking of not playing, Romeo Langford is on the 76ers summer team. Didn't play last night and hasn't yet tonight.
Or maybe the most recent reason for a kid to declare after 1 year. Pretty sure his stock went down after returning.
Yes. He let after his Frosh year. He should have either stayed or gone to a diff school.
Apt points, I agree with all of it...when I/we focus on one player it just makes each observation so much more glaring/concrete, of course.
It was like watching my daughters play soccer or lacrosse...literally paying attention to and over analyzing every step, ha.
If Slick Rick doesn’t go down in flames at Louisville, Romeo would have done fine with 1 year. He never wanted to go to IU but the offer at KU was gone and IU promised to showcase him. Tough situation for the kid.
Speaking of Indiana kids in the summer league, read that Kris Wilkes is working out for the Pacers. Tough break for that kid with the medical issues.
Looks like no Zach again tonight. In street clothes on the bench. Wonder if it was the ankle scare from the first game they are cautious with or just the fact that the "real" summer league will stary in a couple days and want to see him fresh?
Either way hope he is fine and the sitting out thing is just being cautious.
Would think he impressed enough to show he is more than capable to handle the summer league action.
So pumped to watch him in the summer league and into the regular season. He is going to get tons of playing time!

I think he may make me watch SOME nba games this year.
Also, when and where can I find the retro teal grizzlies jersey with EDEY on the back?!
I already have the grizz games in my library on YT TV. Really looking forward to watching his games whenever they are available on the normal cable channels I get. I wont pay for any subscription based channels just to watch them though...already have to do that with Purde games now that peacock is around!
I agree. He confirmed why the Grizzlies drafted him and they probably don't need to see any more. Why risk an injury in meaningless games?
Reminds me of Ivey in summer ball his rookie year - played a couple games and had the defender undercut him and rolled his ankle. That was the last minutes he played I believe.
