On November 15, Zach Edey made his highly anticipated return against the Cleveland Cavaliers, and it is safe to say he has significantly raised the Grizzlies' level. Despite the team going 1-2 since Edey's return, the team has competed much better and could potentially start winning more games soon. Zach Edey has not just improved himself, but he is also elevating the play of his teammates.
Zach Edey showed promise early as a rookie but did not get increased playing time until Tuomas Iisalo took over. Edey finished the season strong and ended up in the top 5 in the Rookie of the Year race.
