À propos de cet audio
Zach Edey’s last few days read like the moment a promising big man turns into a full-blown franchise pillar. Since returning from offseason ankle surgery on November 15, the 7 foot 4 Memphis Grizzlies center has been on a tear that has dominated both box scores and headlines. The Indianapolis Star reports that in a 115 107 win at Sacramento he erupted for a career high 32 points, 17 rebounds and 5 blocks in just 29 minutes, joining Zach Randolph and Pau Gasol as the only Grizzlies ever to post at least 30 points, 15 boards and 3 blocks in a game, and doing it with the best plus minus on the floor as Memphis controlled the game whenever he played. The Sports Leader notes that he followed that with 21 points, 15 rebounds and two blocks in an overtime win over New Orleans and a 19 rebound, 3 block comeback performance against the Clippers, anchoring a stretch in which the Grizzlies have clawed out of their early season funk and gone 5 and 4 since his return. The team’s own Grizzlies dot com coverage frames it bluntly: Edey’s defensive anchor and offensive “gravitational pull” are “everything” to the group’s surge as they head into December, with his presence in the paint reorganizing both the Memphis rotation and opponents’ game plans. ESPN’s fantasy analysis has now labeled him a must add center, pointing out that he is the only player in the league this season to hit the 30 plus points, 15 plus rebounds, 5 blocks benchmark and arguing that Memphis clearly needs him to be a primary scoring option, not just a specialist. Purdue’s athletic site has been amplifying this NBA breakout by reminding audiences that he was named to the NBA All Rookie First Team and finished high in Rookie of the Year voting, reinforcing that this current run is not a fluke but an expected second year leap for a uniquely efficient big man. Social chatter around these stories has centered on two themes that, while not yet confirmed by formal awards or long term contracts, are very plausible trajectories: that Edey is on an early track to become one of the defining traditional centers of his era, and that his rapid progress may soon force Memphis to reimagine him as a foundational star rather than a complementary piece. Any talk beyond that about max extensions or future all star selections remains speculation, but given his production, usage and the tone of national coverage, it is informed speculation with real biographical weight. For now, the verified headline is simple and significant: Zach Edey has moved in just a few days from intriguing sophomore to the center of gravity in Memphis, and that shift is likely to become a key chapter in his long term life story.
