 Zach Edey Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Zach Edey has had a headline-making week that underlines just how quickly his professional star is rising. On May 20th, Purdue Athletics announced that Edey was named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team, a capstone honor for his rookie season with the Memphis Grizzlies. According to Purdue Athletics, Edey received votes on all 100 ballots, securing 73 First Team slots, and thus ranking fourth overall behind Rookie of the Year Stephon Castle, Zaccharie Risacher, and his own teammate Jaylen Wells. That’s rare air for a rookie who’s only been on the NBA hardwood for 66 games—he started 55 of those, averaged 9.2 points, led all rookies in rebounds with 8.3 per game, and was third in blocked shots at 1.3 per game. Notably, he led all rookies in win shares at 4.9, showing his on-court impact is more than just numbers—he’s a gamechanger. His shooting was efficient too, hitting 58% from the floor and over 70% at the line, plus a respectable .346 from beyond the arc. And only one other rookie in NBA history—think about that—has put together at least 9 points and 8 rebounds a game while maintaining those shooting splits. This isn’t just a hot start, folks, it could define Zach Edey’s trajectory for years.

Just in the past 24 hours, Rotowire and Sportskeeda both note Edey’s imminent season debut is finally happening—he’s starting tonight against the Cavaliers after rehabbing from offseason ankle surgery. Memphis fans—who have been missing frontcourt depth—are excited to see if Edey’s immediate move into the starting lineup means 30+ minutes per game soon. He’s known for discipline and efficient post play, and coach Iisalo tells DraftKings NBA that Edey “brings a lot” and has a “gravitational pull” demanding defensive attention. There’s genuine buzz on social media, with fans speculating that his return could accelerate Memphis’s season turnaround.

While biographical context still matters, Edey’s backstory remains compelling—he’s a Canadian who only started basketball as a high school sophomore, then rewrote the record book at Purdue, finishing as the all-time leading scorer and rebounder. He made history as a two-time National Player of the Year and helped lead Purdue to the 2024 National Championship game. That’s a legacy that keeps growing. The latest college news from the University of Akron also referenced his 2023-24 Big Ten Player of the Year accolade, one that set the standard for Purdue’s current success recruiting big men.

There haven’t been any recent business moves or major sponsorship deals reported for Edey in the last few days, and no controversial social media activity—just excitement for his return and accolades for his rookie campaign.
