Damn, when your big is running towards the rim like that, you have to feed him.
Walter Clayton Jr is up there for maybe the worst PG in the league, this game was a disaster class, he is my prime candidate to cut before season starts to meet the roster requirements
Didn’t watch enough Utah last year so don’t know if this is just this preseason but it just feels like he’s playing so desperately to keep a spot that he tunnels hard on scoring. Super annoying
thats wild for pick 20(?) last year lol
He looked so good in college; it was one of the main reasons the Gator won it all.
He looks so bad at the NBA level, mainly because his shots don’t fall.
Quite an Olympus to fall from.
Another classic Kleinman aquisition
When one of the fundamental principles of basketball become a lost art
wdym bro. they fed him with the airball hockey assist /s
Worked out just like they drew it up!
People actually think that was a shot smh
He was clearly serving up a pass for Edey, had the reverse jam in mind.
Fr
Came in here to say this.
Gotta feed him if you want screens and box outs.
ESPECIALLY when he makes a play on defense and then sprints back up the court.
Dude is a plodder.. not one of these 220 wirey guys.
As a big man, I appreciate this so much.
Holy shit he was MOVIN. No way he’s always been that fast.
He was faster than other guys his size like Clingan and Mara at the combine.
I get why he doesn’t move like this often, but damn he would take a huge step if he could. How has he been for yall in Memphis?
Really good, just hurt a lot. Which is just the Memphis way
He’s been very impressive. Idk why people thought he wouldn’t be good in the NBA. Fucker is enormous
Clingan is quite slow unfortunately. Definitely moves like his legs are different lengths
He got dogged for being “slow” when at Purdue. But in reality he’s always been this fast- he was just tasked with playing damn near 40 min a game in college and our offense didn’t start til he got his ass in the post. He didn’t need to waste the energy getting down the court quickly. When he plays 25-30 min a game, he can cook.
He cleared out the middle. No one wanted to find out what his kinetic energy was.
He moves so well up the court for his size, for the love of god please stay healthy. Canada needs you in 2028
I hope he stays healthy too he was a real problem
It would also be nice if Olivier Rioux had the Edey trajectory. Imagine having 2 competent centers above 7’3. One can only hope.
Canada just needs 1 lol, I don’t wanna see olynk or Powell starting in 2028 please god
no shot. edey was NPOY twice. rioux cant even get on the court in non garbage time.
The league is more fun when Memphis has a big athletic bruiser.
Edey drove 101 in a 55. He’s got a need for speed.
How is Clayton Jr. gonna walk up and airball a 3 in a 5 on 3 lol
Man moving like he up for an extension
He’s gotten quicker and more spry. Ima Purdue fan so so really hoping for a healthy season from him
Edey is gonna be a menace this year
Dat Boi fast
Jesus Christ this dude is way too big to be moving that fast
Shoutout to a hot take from the offseason that Zach Edey, due to his small-but-not-nothing sample size, was one of the best players in the league in terms of Net Rating.
small-but-not-nothing sample size
10 games is about as close to nothing as it gets though. That insane net rating is mostly propped up by playing over 40% of his minutes against tanking teams:
against Pelicans: +52.3 net rating
against Kings: +39.8 net rating
against Kings (again): +39.1 net rating
against Mavs: +20.7 net rating
He is a great young player, I just wanted to point out the issue with using such a small sample.
Didn’t know he had a turbo boost installed in the offseason
For real though we need some of these bigs to develop their game for the sole purpose of mitigating the wemby domination the league is likely to experience going forward.
Edey. Mara. Clingdogmillionaire. They’ve all gotta step up.
Just needs to stay healthy
hope he stays healthy this season
I got Canada winning the next olympics with Bron, KD and Steph out the picture.
SGA, NAW, Brooks, Leonard Miller, Edey. Then you got Murray, Nembhard, Dort, Wiggins, Kyshawn, RJ Barrett etc off the bench
Hope he stays healthy cause that was badass
Remember the hype for Edey on here during his first preseason as a rookie
He’s actually fast as hell
Kris Murray? I ain’t know he was part of Ja package damn
I really hope he can stay healthy this season. Decently quick for his size, though probably still the second slowest 7’4” or taller player
or 2nd fastest if you look at it from that angle.
He is so OP in 2k
Damn big fella is moving fast as hell for his size
