Zach Edey Picks Up the Naismith ‘National Player of the Year’ Award

Another day, another award for the Purdue Boilermaker big man and this time Zach Edey walks away with the Naismith ‘National Player of the Year’ award. Edey becomes just the second Boilermaker to be named the Naismith Player of the Year following Glenn Robinson in the 1993-1994 season. Edey’s dominance has been well documented throughout the season with as good of a season from start to finish as the country has seen over the last 15-20 years. Edey consistently played his best ball on the biggest stages where he averaged over 26 points per game and 13 rebounds per game against Marquette, Duke, Gonzaga, West Virginia, Indiana (x2), Ohio State (B1G Tourney Semifinal), and Penn State (B1G Tourney Final).
