Ugly performance really. Fouled out in just 15 minutes. 5 pts, 5 rebounds. Missed 4 of 5 free throws. Was completely outplayed by Walker Kessler.
Not a good start for Edey
- Thread starter Chi-Boiler
- Start date
Definitely a wake up call, but I’ve seen enough of Edey to know that he will quickly learn from this and work his ass off to make sure he doesn’t have a game like it again.
I would imagine Summer League and Preseason is not that far odd from high level Division 1.
NBA regular season is a huge jump. Memphis has obviously seen what they want on practice by starting him, but there will be a huge learning curve to start the season. Hopefully they ate patient with him.
This shouldn’t be unexpected. 82 games getting the rookie whistle. Opponents wanting to prove themselves over him. He and the team just need to be patient this season. At the same time, as long as he demonstrates improvement as the season goes on, with his work ethic, he should be fine.
You gotta give him half a season to adjust. He was still very effective in the game. Great screens and he drew fouls too. I think his coach is willing to let him play through the learning curve. Grizzlies forwards were awful yesterday defensively.
I think Kessler was embarrassed by Edey when they played in Summer League (https://www.espn.com/nba-summer-league/boxscore/_/gameId/401679135/league/nba-summer-utah) and studied hard to make amends.
Zach will figure it out. He still needs to be a little less aggressive defensively in the first quarter until knowing how the game will be called.
