Zach Edie was not great in Canada's win against USA and he, he didn't play.
So it wasn't, it wasn't bad.
He was awesome in his opener in the Salt Lake Summer League against the Jazz where never seen this ever in my life where the missed free throw at the buzzer leads to a direct TPP in because his hand is already at the rim.
Anyway, I'm so interested to see Zach Edie live at this level because he is the most polarizing member of this draft class.
Look, Memphis wanted a center, they wanted Donovan Klingon.
They were trying to trade up for Donovan Klingon.
But after talking to Houston Detroit and Charlotte three teams that Memphis was definitely in conversation with about trading up the draft.
Donovan Klingon seems like they were really content on just taking Ed at nine if Klingon wasn't there and they couldn't have traded up because they believed in him that much because he's 75 and is gonna be a massive screen for John Morant to do anything off of.
I am looking forward to watching him and seeing how his high screen action stuff can project out to jaw speed.
Demon in his way around him.
Can it be like a Talladega Nights slingshot type Cal.
Naughton Junior, Ricky Bobby thing.
Can it be anything that is justifying Zack from being the number nine pick in this draft?
There are plenty of people out there who don't think this guy is gonna be anything more than Taco Fall.
I think there are people who think this guy is gonna be a bona fide starter and there are people who think this guy shouldn't be in the league.
