Zach Edey's Role in Grizzlies' Offense Faces Early Challenges

The Memphis Grizzlies are working to integrate rookie Zach Edey into their fast-paced offense despite early struggles.

Zach Edey scored 10 points in the Grizzlies' 119-94 preseason loss to the Charlotte Hornets, with most points coming from free throws.
Edey attempted three three-pointers, surprising fans as he hadn't taken any in his first preseason game and rarely shot from beyond the arc in college.
Grizzlies players and coaches are focusing on improving Edey's positioning and timing to better utilize his size in the offense.
The team is prioritizing a fast-paced style of play, which has made integrating Edey's low-post presence a challenge.
Edey, drafted ninth overall, is still adjusting to the NBA pace and working on expanding his offensive range.
