About this listen
Zach Edey, the towering former Purdue star now dominating with the Memphis Grizzlies, just earned a massive nod on the NBAs All-Rookie First Team, as announced by Purdue Athletics this week. Ranking fourth in voting behind Stephon Castle, Zaccharie Risacher, and teammate Jaylen Wells, Edey landed on all 100 ballots with 73 first-team votes and 27 second-team, racking up 173 points according to the leagues tally. His rookie stats dazzled ninth in scoring at 9.2 points per game, first in rebounds at 8.3, third in blocks at 1.3, and tops in win shares at 4.9 over 66 games and 55 starts, shooting a blistering 58 percent from the field.
Hammer and Rails reports Edey made NBA history in his most recent outing, posting a plus-39 plus-minus in a single game, setting a rookie record thats got fans buzzing about his defensive anchor role. No public appearances or fresh social media posts from Edey popped up in the last few days, but his name echoes in college hoops chatter, like Purdue Boilermakers on SI mentioning his legacy as Braden Smith chases records without him. Grizzlies insiders whisper of bigger minutes ahead, though thats unconfirmed speculation.
In the past 24 hours, no major headlines broke, but this All-Rookie honor cements Edeys bio as one of only two rookies ever averaging nine points and eight boards at 58 percent shooting and 70.9 from the line. From Purdues all-time scoring king with 2516 points and 1321 rebounds to NBA phenom, Edeys arc screams future Hall contender.
