Edey is going to Memphis, having been drafted 9 th overall by the Grizzlies. Meanwhile, Ware is heading to South Beach, with the Heat drafting the IU standout 15 th -overall. For Edey, it showed just how much his stock had risen in the last several months; the 7’4” center had faced questions about the viability of his game in the pros, with some thinking he may not even be a 1 st -round selection. Now, he’s a Top 10 pick.

More than just being taken in the first 20 picks, for Edey and Ware, their new homes could be a perfect fit. Both are going to organizations with specific ideas on how to use them. Ware is going to a premier organization, one with a premier head coach and a reputation for developing players, while Edey provides an interesting pairing with Ja Morant, and goes to a place that also is known for liking it’s big men and drafting with a specific plan in place.
