BIG MANE!​@@neanam

Seems like a good Canadian kid

As a Memphian I really appreciate everything Canada has blessed us with the Grizzlies back in '01 and now Edey. Thank y'all so murch. (Yes I said murch)

@@neanamdon’t forget dillon brooks too! miss DB

Shoutout Canada! We love our Canadians in Memphis, BC, DB, now Edey

​@@neanam love y'all accent

😂lol

People dont like him bc hes slow. But ppl seem to forget Steven Adams was just as slow and was a very important piece to the Grizzlies. I think Edey can be a better version of him

Na Steven Adams use to move up and down the court .

​@EthaJeffaP_68 The crazy part about that is he ain't nearly as slow as they make it seem. No, he ain't a world-class sprinter, but he does have lateral movement.

@@EthaJeffaP_68 he’s not even that slow for his size. His lane agility time was faster than pascal siakam and kawhi Leonard. And his 3/4 court sprint was great

@@ceejordan9649 hes quick but i mean on fast breaks n stuff. Ive never seen him run down the court during a fast break

HELL YEAH!

No we didn’t 💀

Alright calm down there with the Spurs and Wemby.

What was that like?

Hahahaha!

You know Drake got family in Memphis now I bet he wanna be a Grizzlies fan. 😏

Definitely his new nickname Big Mane

He will

I am so happy that he is going to Memphis. Easy win for the rest of the teams. So will his mom be on the highlights more than him? If you look at Purdue there were 2 maybe 3 players that did more for the boilers. We have seen this big man hype flop so many times. Good luck

I was aware of the footage posted by Givony, but what do you mean by bodying Clingan and Sarr at the combine? Was there a secret scrimmage? Also I heard he completely dominated in workouts against other prospects but do you know what they looked like?

@@iunnoi28 i was at the combine. It was a special gift from a Scout I know. 1. The "Combine" isn't just the set drills and scrimmages. There are elite level pickup games that occur under strict secrecy. That's where you move up or down. Not the TV show. 2. Zach did dominate the drills. He outperformed every big by a wide margin. He was stronger than Shaq, if your doing the raw numbers. He's faster than Clingan, Stronger too. He shot better than Sarr. 3. Bodied- in the closed runs, he murdered Clingan so bad he fell from 2 to 7 in a night. Portland couldn't pass on him, they created his myth. Their scouts were the highest on him. He blistered Sarr in the next game I saw. Just emberrased him. Also, I'm pretty sure that's when Atlanta chose Resachier. He had a 20+ point triple dip by my count. Edey only scored 8 but 6 were from the line on 7 attempts and he dunked on Sarr. Sarr had 5/7/2. It was bad. BTW Edey had 17 rips and 6 blocks. Game 3 explained the first 10 picks IMO. Resachier had another nice game. Sarr had a better game, but he played the 4 with Edey this time. Holland lost his fkn mind. I mean he got so hot the bench guys actually put a fan on him when he sat down in acknowledgement. 30+ in 25 minutes. Scary. Castle looked like a solid guard. Dilly looked lost but he's so athletic. The guy that Utah took had a nice 2 way game. Clingan struggled and got gassed way too fast. He's going to be the first performance bust. He cannot post up on d at all. His legs are comically thin. Edey - Notice how he exploded up the board the 3rd day of the combine? Those games happened the night before. That's real basketball. The real test. He looked like a grown man in a kindergarten class. He played like that too. He dominated. If he didn't score, he ended a players game with a screen, grabbed 15 boards and blocked the referee just to make sure everyone got one. LoL. Memphis got the best player in the draft. He's my ROY pick. You wanted a book ...... Hope you read it.

@@iunnoi28 short version: Zach looked like the number one pick.

@@iunnoi28 last thing. "Potential". This is the myth that gets you fired. I do not believe in it at all as it relates to drafting. Wanna know why we have so many bad drafts now? Potential. Alex Sarr is Andrea Bargnani all over again. 7' unicorn who can shoot in practice. Had a meh combine. Why 2? Because somebody in DC thinks they can lab grow a Giannis clone. You can't. It doesn't work like that. The NBA is 82 games in roughly 5 months. Add the Summer league, preseason and playoffs it's 100 minimum in 6-8 months 150 if you get to the finals. There is no time to develop a guy. There's no "offseason". Like baseball there are 5 tools plus the mental aspect. Shooting, Passing, Defense, Rebounding and Athleticism. You need to be elite at 2 to make an NBA roster. 3 to start consistently. 4 is all star and 5 is HOF. The NBA's flaw is thinking they can take a one tool guy and develop him. Jahlil Okafor. Markelle Fultz. One tool. Bust.

@@thequixoticangler3364 I was hearing that no less than 8 teams were interested in acquiring him at around 14 and that the main concern about grabbing him in the upper 10 was because they were scared of being fired if he didn’t pan out. It’s also funny because I swear Edey has the only ad out there which is extremely strange if people didn’t think he would pan out.

@kequonbolden6972 Yeh like many giants over 7'0. Yao, Olivier Rioux, etc.

You provide the folks who uploaded the interview with some excellent titles other than the "Fueled by Hate' that pops up as the clip starts. Maybe they will show Edey some respect and use one of them?

Boo hoo must be so hard

@@Mister_Meister_ great thing about comments like yours is that I know that you will get yers :) enjoy it

Yes he's very underrated!
