    The Memphis Grizzlies came up big in the 2024 NBA Draft when they decided to use their No. 9 overall pick to select Purdue star Zach Edey. The 7-foot-4 center is expected to make a significant impact on his new team this coming season, and it comes as no surprise that the two-time AP College Basketball Player of the Year is already making waves this early on.

    On Monday, the Grizzlies shared a photo of Edey during a recent practice session. In it, the 22-year-old is seen dunking with both hands. The highlight, however, is that Edey's feet are barely off the ground:

    That's what a 7-foot-10 wingspan can do for you.

    Naturally, the mean streets of X, formerly Twitter, were left in awe by the physical specimen that is Zach Edey:

    "Yeah we winning that chip in 2025," declared a Grizzlies fan.

    "He didn’t even stretch doe!" said a commenter, quoting a popular D'Angelo Russell meme.

    "Grizzlies found their center for the future," said another fan.

    "Finally. Some competition for Wemby," read a comment.

    "He's a BEAST!!! I hope he's a success! He can shoot the FT with ease. He can be dominant in the right situation," said another.

    At this point, it's safe to say that the Edey hype train has left the station.
