Edey heads the Grizzlies' 2024/25 rookie class, although the squad has other promising rookies.
Following the 2024 NBA Draft, the Memphis Grizzlies received unwarranted criticism for drafting Zach Edey with the ninth overall choice
He was regarded as a player capable of dominating in college but with red flags for the professional game
The 7'4" big man swiftly debunked that notion with an outstanding performance in a Utah Summer League game.
He stole the focus for Memphis' rookies despite the fact that two additional Grizzlies players were taken in the draft.
Cam Spencer has been praised for being a perfect match for Memphis' play style, but the other player, Jaylen Wells, has received less notice.
He has the potential to be a huge player to the Grizzlies while remaining a hidden treasure
Wells, who is 6'8" and is extremely athletic, has the potential to be a strong wing in the NBA. He is still a developing player, but he has the potential to become a regular member of the Grizzlies rotation as he matures.
Wells attended college for three years, two of them at Division II Sonoma State, before transferring to Washington State for his junior year, where he emerged as an NBA prospect
He wasn't the most popular name in the mock drafts, but the Grizzlies were interested in him because to his raw talent.
