The Memphis Grizzlies’ forward, Desmond Bane, has spoken out about the rookie development of Zach Edey within the team. Bane carefully assessed the progress made by the 7-foot-4 center, offering detailed insight into his journey so far with the Grizzlies.
Bane, who himself came into the team as a rookie last season and quickly became one of the team’s standout players, says that Edey has been making strides in the right direction. “He’s been working hard and it shows,” Bane noted. “He’s learning and adjusting to the pace of the game, his size is a great advantage. Overall, he’s doing well in all areas.”
Desmond Bane had earlier revealed that Edey’s dedicated approach to his work has stood out to him, as the rookie has shown an admirable level of hard work and discipline. This was after he had seen Edey’s plug away in practice sessions, which successfully earned him a spot in the team.
Not only is Edey impressing his teammates, but he is also catching the eye of the coaching staff. The coaching team has praised the strides he has made offensively and defensively, noting that he has displayed a remarkable ability to both protect the rim with his incontestable size and score points convincingly.
Edey’s journey is certainly one to watch, as his development unfolds on and off the court, under the watchful eyes of Desmond Bane and the rest of the Memphis Grizzlies. He continues to put in the hard work required, all while adjusting to the different paces of the NBA.
