    MEMPHIS – It looks as though we might be seeing Grizzlies top draft pick Zach Edey a little sooner than we first thought.

    The Canadian national team announcing that the 7 foot-4 Edey, from Toronto, has decided not to play for Team Canada in next month’s Paris Olympics.

    Edey has decided to focus instead on the start of his NBA career with the Grizzlies, who made the two-time national player of the year a surprise top ten pick in last week’s draft.  Edey was taken number nine overall.

    Edey talked about his decision in this statement released by Canada Basketball.
