Zach Edey Named Honorable Mention AP All-American
In addition to Jaden Ivey being named to the second team by the AP Purdue center Zach Edey has been named an Honorable Mention All-American. Much like Ivey I don’t think this will be the last award we see for Edey in his Purdue career.
Edey has had a fantastic year following a summer in which he played for Team Canada in the FIBA U-19 Tournament. Edey has become the starting center for Purdue and has generally outplayed entrenched starter Trevion Williams. That came as a surprise to most of us. Edey has excelled this year around the basket, shooting 65.5% and grabbing 7.8 rebounds per game.
