An Impressive Summer League Display By Grizzlies Rockie Zack

The Memphis Grizzlies made a contentious decision during the summer draft by selecting Zack Edey as their rookie, a choice that was met with skepticism from many fans.

Despite the initial doubts surrounding the new addition to the team, the Memphis Grizzlies’ center showcased his talent in his debut game during the Summer League against the Utah Jazz. Edey delivered an impressive performance, scoring 14 points on 7-for-12 shooting, securing 15 rebounds, and blocking four shots in 34 minutes of play.

His pivotal moment came when he forced overtime by tipping in an intentionally missed free throw to tie the game at 90.Initially projected as a mid-lottery pick at best, Edey was surprisingly chosen with the No. 9 pick, despite lingering uncertainties about his potential as an NBA player.

However, the rookie swiftly dispelled any doubts, at least temporarily, with a stellar display in his inaugural Summer League appearance against the Utah Jazz.Ultimately, the Memphis Grizzlies fell short in the game, succumbing to the Utah Jazz in overtime with a score of 97-95.
