Edey Withdraws from Team Canada

Makes sense, as he mentions he wants to get after it with Memphis. Needs to get that chemistry goin with Ja that was similar to what he had with Peaky B.

Exactly what an NBA rookie should do. He can play for Canada in four years.

Wonder if Memphis told him to do so. Golden state told Wiggins that he couldn’t

I wouldn't blame them. It would be a fantastic experience for Zach, but not one he can't have in 4 years. And he was projected to not necessarily get a lot of playing time, right? Or am I mixing up the Caitlin Clark fiasco?

In the end, getting accustomed to his teammates, particularly Ja, and getting his body ready for an 82-game season far outweigh the Olympics this year.

Yeah agree 💯…yeah I don’t think he’d get ton of time now…I’m hoping he will over the next few years. Getting it goin with Memphis is the priority.

Needs that time in the off season to get his work in for his ROY campaign
