According to Zach, the Grizzlies were the only NBA team that stayed in touch and encouraged his growth since he was a sophomore at Purdue. He went on to say he had no idea they would take him at #9.
Did they want him to get to 7'6"?According to Zach, the Grizzlies were the only NBA team that stayed in touch and encouraged his growth since he was a sophomore at Purdue. He went on to say he had no idea they would take him at #9.
They encouraged it! It's amazing what a bit of encouragement can do.Did they want him to get to 7'6"?
Edey would have been wasted there.I would have loved to see Zach wearing a Bucks uniform. He’s going to surprise a lot of doubters
Glad Zach went to Memphis. A team that really wanted him and has a lot better pieces than Portland. Portland tends to pick big men who have injury histories and this was no different. Hope Clingan stays healthy, but Portland has been cursed since they didn’t take Jordan (in their defense they had Drexler already).Once Clingan went off the board, it was Edey no matter what. They were drafting one of the two.
Portland was told to take Jordan, so that's their fault. Bobby told them to pick him. They didn't listen. But I do think Edey is in a good spot and it isn't a rebuilding team. It's a legitimate top 4 seed type of team.Glad Zach went to Memphis. A team that really wanted him and has a lot better pieces than Portland.

They said we need a center and Bobby said then put Jordan at center! HaPortland was told to take Jordan, so that's their fault. Bobby told them to pick him. They didn't listen. But I do think Edey is in a good spot and it isn't a rebuilding team. It's a legitimate top 4 seed type of team.
Not true. They did everything in their power to "Show" interest in Clingan to keep other people guessing. Zach was always the guy they wanted.Once Clingan went off the board, it was Edey no matter what. They were drafting one of the two.
My thoughts too. They wanted to sign Edey when he was a sophomore. I think he was their target this draft.Not true. They did everything in their power to "Show" interest in Clingan to keep other people guessing. Zach was always the guy they wanted.
there's a video with the GM smiling slyly when asked if they deeked other teams about their interest in Clingan.
Deeked. I like it. Is that a real word? I'm going to start using it."when asked if they deeked other teams about their interest in Clingan."
