They probably just needed someone that was tall
Edey has played pretty well this season. I'm probably the only IU fan who actually likes him. And last I checked, he's sitting at 5th in betting odds to win ROY.
It’s what happens when your coach only plays you half the game
Injured twice and out for long periods which set him back. When he has longer periods of consecutive games he has been a factor.
It doesn't help. But he seems to be in a good spot with supportive teammates. He could still make a push for ROY. And if you want to know how open the ROY race is, Kel'el Ware is the betting favorite to win it now. There are about 5 or so dudes in the running. Probably the closest ROY race in years.
Kel'el has played well in the last few games, and I think better than he did at any point in college. He is a good reason Indiana should fire their coach, even though he is good at bringing in talent.
Woody definitely should have been fired after last year but his buddies got him another year.
As for Miami, Spo finally figured out to play him and Bam together.
Just 2 or 3 weeks ago, Edey was the favorite to win. It'll likely come down to who stays healthy and gets mins. Do you think having a key role on a playoff team plays into it vs a guy getting mins on a terrible team? No idea if that factors in in the end or not...
For ROY? I don't think it means a whole lot to the voters. Might matter if they are splitting hairs.
Going forward Ware has a much better shot. Why? Spolestra has made him a major part of the rotation with 30 plus minutes a game. Edey has not played 30 minutes in one game.
Ja Morant back in the line-up tonight, and Memphis takes down San Antonio for the third time this season.
Big Maple with 16 and 14 with three steals in a +25 effort in an efficient 25 minutes. ZE had 14 and 11 in 19 minutes on Sunday in Milwaukee. Grizzlies are going to be a tough out in the West along with Oklahoma City and Houston - some new young teams in the mix.

Zach with double doubles two days in a row.
This will come off as a smart ass response, but I legitimately think it is management given the injury issues he’s had this year.
Candidly, I think they're still figuring it out. He definitely gets utilized better with Ja Morant - the foul trouble doesn't seem to be aa much of an issue any more. He played 25 tonight, and his season high is 28 minutes. Think about 32 would be optimal range.
They've also been working him back through some injuries.
I watched a good part of the game in Milwaukee - it's still a struggle for me to watch more than 5 minutes straight of NBA action at a time, but I do like the way Memphis can play compared to some other squads. Bucks were just jacking most of the game (20-45 from deep is pretty decent though), and when they were hot, they would surge, but the lead dissipated quickly on multiple occasions - Memphis had 107 FG attempts and dominated the glass.
