Memphis Grizzlies Select Zach Edey as Ninth Overall Pick in NBA Draft

Purdue center Zach Edey joins the Grizzlies, surprising many with his top-10 selection and aiming to bolster the team's frontcourt.

Edey, a two-time College Player of the Year, was chosen over Tennessee standout Dalton Knecht.
The 7-foot-4 center is expected to fill the void left by the traded Steven Adams.
Edey averaged 25.2 points and 12.2 rebounds in his senior year, leading Purdue to the national title game.
The Grizzlies hope Edey's presence will help them return to playoff contention.
Edey could also represent Canada in the upcoming Olympics.
