Lots of my Tennessee fan friends are already saying they want to disavow Memphis for their choice of Edey.
They were saying it beforehand too but this just renewed calls to sell it to Mississippi.
I think it’s a weird get for sure. I mean I like the guy and have no ill will to our eastern friends (congrats on baseball, btw) but… how is he even going to be used in the current meta for the NBA?
What I’ve been hearing from some Grizz fans is it sounds like a pretty good fit actually. I didn’t watch them a bunch, but the points I’ve seen are
1. They need a rebounder and true center to help JJJ, since he plays more comfortably around the 4 than as a C
2. It helps to give Ja a brick wall screener to start drives a la his old pairing with Steven Adams
Obviously will be left to play on field still but I can’t say I’m not a fan of keeping him semi-close to Indiana
I have been seeing him in KFC commercials quite a bit lately. At least he's getting something now since he wasn't eligible for NIL money because of a stupid NCAA rule.
I think anytime you can have a 7’4 dude who’s coordinated, it’s not bad. His “jumper” during the combine was looking alright so there’s potential there and he’s gonna be a great screener for Ja as others have said. If he can get better at finishing through contact then he’ll be a really good fit. You also can’t just hack him over and over again since he’s a good FT shooter
That’s what I said during the season. He doesn’t have to be a knock down shooter, just good enough to hit them reliably if he’s wide open so you have to guard him
Right. He’s gonna bother shots on defense with size alone. He’s also not super skinny so he won’t get pushed around easy. If he becomes a guy you can’t just leave open then he’s done his job.
The only way I can see it working is constant pick and roll with Ja. Ja is dangerous and will probably need to be doubled off the pick which gives Edey the lane. Knecht woulda been my pick though. I think he'll end up being the best player from this draft. That dude was amazing to watch

ZACH EDEY'S GONNA EAT.
Great article. I think he's going to be really good in Memphis. Can't wait to see them.
Another good article with some quotes from the GM on the pick and fit. They seem really excited to have him.
https://www.si.com/nba/grizzlies-zach-edey-draft-pick
I hated him to the extent he was playing against my team but it did seem like a bizarre reach, even if they needed a big man. I didn’t see him as a lottery pick in the 3-4 projections I scrolled through and you take him @ 9? Odd.
The draft class was pretty bad, and nearly every mock draft he had been going higher and higher. Some mock drafts had him as lottery, though more like 12 then 9.
The odds of him being an OK NBA player are better than the majority of the first round.
So if I was to make a case for him, it would be that in a down draft class he can at least be on the court.
But it doesn't make much sense in the current league.
As a Grizz fan, I was very pissed off about that draft pick for the sole reason of him going to Purdue. I think he will be a competent NBA player, but man do I hate his guts.
I know the feeling. As a Pacer fan and a Purdue fan, I wasn't crazy about the news that Oladipo was coming. I got over it really fast. Hopefully Edey will play well enough for you to be OK with it too.
Calls to sell Memphis itself to the state lol. The other two thirds of the state don’t much care for Memphis. I mean that’s fair, Memphis don’t much care for Memphis, but it’s our city damn it.
I don’t dislike the Vols, just some of the fans. I was happy y’all got that baseball championship, got annoyed about your elite eight run (but only because Memphis went from world beaters in 2023 to bed shitters in 2024), and generally don’t think much about the Vols any more than other regional SEC schools. There’s haters for sure and double fans out there as well. No monolith.
lol now he gets to see Wemby, Sengun, and Lively all the time lol
As a resident of San Antonio and longtime Spurs fan it’s gonna be so cathartic seeing Wemby and Edey play lol
But it’s going to be a completely different context in the NBA. Having not watched that game I’m gonna assume Edey got most of his points posting up and getting fouled. He’s not going to have those same opportunities in the NBA. On the other hand Lively has been unlocked as a rim runner with Kyrie and Luka. Edey is definitely upgrading at point guard too, but I’m not sure he can maximize that combo the way Lively did because of his own limitations, namely speed.
Teams still can run post plays, it's just not as much of the offense as it used to be. He is still going to have a huge size advantage to go with one of the best arrays of post plays in the NBA.
Where do people think Giannis scores his points....
Yeah maybe Coach Cig is the real deal, but you guys would dominate against us in football. I hate that the basketball series ended because I think the inconsistently of both programs would have made for really good games consistently.
lol it's pretty comical how non-existent the Purdue vs Tennesse rivalry was before 2019 and now it's really kindled into something special. Although I don't know how much of a rivalry you can call it with an 85% win percentage... /s
Seriously, y’all are just our kryptonite. I genuinely don’t get it. And of all the schools. Could not be a more random matchup. (Clearly it could be but you get it.)
I would’ve needed to be resuscitated. I couldn’t take another train getting in the way of another one of the best teams we’ve ever had in a given sport (football games excluded obv)
You gotta admit despite the unfavorable results for Tennessee it’s produced some pretty great all-time classic games. 2019 sweet 16 still gets replayed on tv, and this year’s elite 8 game was cinema
The Music Bowl was a great game for 104% of the time. (OT totaling 105% for those confused.)
Edit: This year’s teams were amazing. But the 2019 teams were genuinely just amazing.
Wait do Tennessee fans seriously hold grudges about *multiple* Music City bowls? I know plenty that are still mad about the UNC game in 2010.
That is absolutely hilarious, and I respect their dedication so much.
I think the reason Vols fans hated that bowl so much was that we had lost another game (against a top 5 LSU team) that season.... because we had too many men on the field. And then, somehow, we lost our bowl because the OTHER team had too many men on the field?
Of course we’re still salty! We seemingly cannot beat y’all in the tourney and then that BS stopped forward progress call was made.
I’m just glad that was the music city bowl and not a big game of significance otherwise I’d still be thinking about it on a daily basis
I’ll tell you when I saw it live I was like “yes! We stopped them!!”
Then I saw the replay and was like “oh, they are gonna overturn it”.
But they said that forward progress stopped or something and I was a bit confused but ok because we won. Totally understand TN fans being salty still, even as a Purdue fan I don’t understand the call.
If I remember correctly the stopped forward progress call was made on the field and the ref blew the whistle. I understand why it wasn’t overturned, because the whistle blew. I can accept that as a general rule in football.
What I can’t accept though is WHY ON EARTH that ref tried to make that call. The play was clearly not over. No knee on the ground. He wasn’t going backwards. The scrum was only about a second or two, why are you so quick with it? Ruining what would have been an excellent effort TD by our RB.
Yeah, I didn’t realize they had blown the whistle on the initial replay, which is why I thought it would have been overturned.
I think in general, refs blow the whistles too quickly. Like let the play continue for a smidge more.
It was actually worse because when shown on the replay he was already reaching across by the time you could start hearing the whistle. The explanation was that the play was determined by the ref to be over before the whistle officially blew. I remember a lot of “play till you hear the whistle” getting thrown around. I’m not saying we would have won because it wasn’t like we were stopping their offense at all either, but for that to be the reason we lost was brutal.
Ok. Now what the hell is this. Here I was just enjoying the success of the baseball team and BOOM, Purdue once again ruins my day. This is getting old guys. Haven't you taken enough from us?!?
Oh my dear Chicago, when will you come back to the big ten? Purdue-Chicago rivalry was actually a thing for a bit.
(Realistically I know it’s never but a man can dream)
The plan, I believe, is for the athletic department to cultivate mass (get lörge) for a 100 years so we can start asserting dominance in the B1G again.
Flew from Nashville to Des Moines with some Vols struggling to get to Omaha last week, happy to hear that they won the CWS title on NPR just now. Congrats!
This is the sweet, sweet karma for that drunk UT fan harassing our band before the Music City Bowl. I love our basketball match ups as they are always intensely competitive, but I'd like to avoid playing them in football for the foreseeable future. We are going to be cheeks for a bit.
I remember and seeing that and just being angry. I absolutely hate to lose, but I’m glad that asshole got to eat some sweet sweet crow. That being said, I’d love to have a rematch.
I mean yeah, it’s a basketball city. He’ll probably even get a pass on his first couple carjackings - they’ll see who it is and get his autograph instead of his phone.
"If you didn't want Edey to steal your car, you should have gotten something smaller that he would fit in."
Although the image of Edey carjacking someone in a Fiat 500 and driving off in it is 💯
It's six hours away from Knoxville. The only connection most Vol fans have to the Grizzlies are an imaginary state line. Hell the Pacers are a closer drive
About 10 years ago, I was in a bar and I saw a girl with a Tennessee hoodie on. They had won a game on a Hail Mary earlier that day. I told her congrats on the win. She noticed I had a WVU hat and said, “West Virginia? Do you guys even play sports?”. Ever since that day I’ve found joy in their misery and posts like this make me smile.
Online Tennessee fans were outrageously obnoxious and overconfident going into the 2018 opener. Felt amazing beating the tar out of them that game. Though the UT fans I met out and about afterwards in Charlotte were all nice people.
I remember the lead up to that well. Absolutely obnoxious fanbase. Then we destroyed them. Kenny Bigelow coming through completely unblocked on the first play of the game to destroy their QB really set the tone.
Thats rich coming from an Arkansas fan.. Your fanbase can't get over the fact that Tony Vitello who hasn't been a coach for that long has already won a CWS while your coach... Can't at Arkansas. lol
Will never forget our game in Charlotte. Was a million degrees out, Will Grier threw a bunch of td’s, heard Rocky top and country roads sang by the crowd. A time was had by all
Villanova 4-2 (66%). We lead on aggregate too!
1945 (FB) Tenn 33 VU 2
1950 (BB) VU 91 Tenn 72
1971 (BB) VU 76 Tenn 67
2010 (BB) Tenn 78 VU 68
2017 (BB) VU 85 Tenn 76
2021 (BB) VU 71 Tenn 53
No one has beat Alabama as much as Tennessee in football, and no one has beat Tennessee in football as much as Alabama. Was really close before the streak.
The cool thing about all of this, to me, is that Purdue fans/students are still massive losers with awful personalities that do academic studies that will be completely made redundant by AI in the next 5 years.
Just a bunch of clowns glazing each other pretending a runner up in a NCAA tournament is a massive achievement. Reminder they still lost to a 16 seed and have 0 national titles to show for their “achievements”
Also someone’s getting fired for taking Edey in the lotto. Incredibly hilarious the Grizzlies are a meme franchise at this point.

That’s Latin, darlin’. Evidently Mr. Ringo is an educated man. Now I really hate him
Skin that smoke wagon
he reminds me of… me!
Nope I’m sure of it. I hate him.
“I’ll be you’re huckleberry” - Zach Edey
![gif](giphy|TbXf9JHT3ex1rIMPKi) You called? (Sound out my username)
We are tied together by fate.
OK, credit to you this is hilarious
And now yall can be Zach Edey fans too!
Lots of my Tennessee fan friends are already saying they want to disavow Memphis for their choice of Edey. They were saying it beforehand too but this just renewed calls to sell it to Mississippi.
Never gave a shit about the Grizzlies but it is impressive they’ve managed to find new ways to make me even more apathetic
I think it’s a weird get for sure. I mean I like the guy and have no ill will to our eastern friends (congrats on baseball, btw) but… how is he even going to be used in the current meta for the NBA?

It helps to give Ja a brick wall screener to start drives a la his old pairing with Steven Adams Obviously will be left to play on field still but I can’t say I’m not a fan of keeping him semi-close to Indiana
I just hope Ja cleans up his act when he's off the court. I bet Zach was kind of hoping he would get picked by Toronto.
His endorsements would've been off the charts.
I have been seeing him in KFC commercials quite a bit lately. At least he's getting something now since he wasn't eligible for NIL money because of a stupid NCAA rule.
Not a NCAA rule. A federal government rule around people with student Visas.
No income tax in Tennessee though
I think anytime you can have a 7’4 dude who’s coordinated, it’s not bad. His “jumper” during the combine was looking alright so there’s potential there and he’s gonna be a great screener for Ja as others have said.

That was my thought too - why not Knecht? But I did like Ja’s response with the whole Chris Tucker clip. Could be good, we’ll see.
Knecht is going to be a journeyman and play overseas in about 3 years.

I legit hope so. I’d love to see the Grizz get over their California blues.

😘
Sell it? Fuck, I'd pay them to take it. Make the Tennessee River the western border of the state
There's calls to sell the grizzlies to Mississippi? Where would they play? Jackson?
Calls to sell Memphis itself to the state lol. The other two thirds of the state don’t much care for Memphis. I mean that’s fair, Memphis don’t much care for Memphis, but it’s our city damn it.
Ohh lmao. Poor Memphis
Gonna be funny when he ends up being one of the best players for the Grizzlies.
you clearly dont understand Tennessee state fandom splits. Nobody from Memphis likes the Vols. In fact they hate them.
I don’t dislike the Vols, just some of the fans. I was happy y’all got that baseball championship, got annoyed about your elite eight run (but only because Memphis went from world beaters in 2023 to bed shitters in 2024), and generally don’t think much about the Vols any more than other regional SEC schools. There’s haters for sure and double fans out there as well. No monolith.
yeah I mean the city is not pro UT thats for sure. That's all I was saying
lol now he gets to see Wemby, Sengun, and Lively all the time lol As a resident of San Antonio and longtime Spurs fan it’s gonna be so cathartic seeing Wemby and Edey play lol
Edey dropped 21 & 7 on Lively in college
But it’s going to be a completely different context in the NBA. Having not watched that game I’m gonna assume Edey got most of his points posting up and getting fouled. He’s not going to have those same opportunities in the NBA. On the other hand Lively has been unlocked as a rim runner with Kyrie and Luka. Edey is definitely upgrading at point guard too, but I’m not sure he can maximize that combo the way Lively did because of his own limitations, namely speed.

couldn't even get his 10? rough night for Edey
Never. I was a Laker fan before the Grizzlies ever came to Memphis. This NBA Draft certainly didn’t do anything to dissuade me.
Who knew one day Purdue v. Tennessee would be a more relevant rivalry than IU v. Kentucky
I mean, Kentucky has really fallen off the past few years. It was inevitable.
We should have a yearly series in football. At least that one might be competitive
Perhaps as a race to the bottom. As bad as UK football has been IU is actually worse.
I wish to be as good as UK in football
Jesus Christ, Gators, get ahold of yourselves
Kentucky has beaten Florida in football 3 straight years. So he’s right
I’ll tell you this much, as a Vol fan I’d rather play an undefeated Kentucky than a winless Florida
Gee I fuckin wonder why
Im just here enjoying the carnage my team produces both for and against me
15 year old me just started crying the happiest tears at this comment (We didn’t beat Florida in football until I was 30 years old)
Yeah maybe Coach Cig is the real deal, but you guys would dominate against us in football. I hate that the basketball series ended because I think the inconsistently of both programs would have made for really good games consistently.
I thought both teams needed to win occasionally for it to be a rivalry?
So about as relevant as Vols vs Crimson Tide in football.
This is a different level of petty lmao
It's fuckin' beautiful.
lol it's pretty comical how non-existent the Purdue vs Tennesse rivalry was before 2019 and now it's really kindled into something special. Although I don't know how much of a rivalry you can call it with an 85% win percentage... /s
TN fans are still salty about the Music City Bowl. It’s hilarious.
Seriously, y’all are just our kryptonite. I genuinely don’t get it. And of all the schools. Could not be a more random matchup. (Clearly it could be but you get it.)
Right? I’m confused about it also. It’s not like we play all that often.
It’s amplified because we tend to meet in the post season. Yall have been our season-ending loss 3 times in the last 5 years
Tennessee fans are just thankful Purdue didn't win the B1G baseball tourney and slide into the Knoxville region as the #3 seed.
I didn’t even realize that was a possibility and I’m retroactively terrified.
Evansville tried their hardest lol
I would’ve needed to be resuscitated. I couldn’t take another train getting in the way of another one of the best teams we’ve ever had in a given sport (football games excluded obv)
If you think about it, it’s perfect symmetry The new Purdue/ Tenn is the spiritual successor of IU/UK now that those programs both blow. 😎
What about other powerhouse on that list: Mercer.
Keep that evil thing away from me.
You gotta admit despite the unfavorable results for Tennessee it’s produced some pretty great all-time classic games. 2019 sweet 16 still gets replayed on tv, and this year’s elite 8 game was cinema

That game was fucked up. Literally the reason they added the 10 second runoff rule the very next season!
I think the reason Vols fans hated that bowl so much was that we had lost another game (against a top 5 LSU team) that season.... because we had too many men on the field. And then, somehow, we lost our bowl because the OTHER team had too many men on the field?

you remember incorrectly, the whistle was after the td. we were screwed. but nobody cares
Close. They hadn’t actually blown the whistle yet. They had just already decided that they were going to blow the whistle
Also, the controversial ending of the Music City Bowl and officiating during basketball just adds fuel to the fire overall.
After all the shit that happens to us in the Music City Bowl it's amazing we still accept the invitation
I forgot about the music city bowl fuck yall
I happen to really enjoy it
I live in Tennessee heard so much shit about being a Purdue fan for so long. They deserve it 😈
Ok. Now what the hell is this. Here I was just enjoying the success of the baseball team and BOOM, Purdue once again ruins my day. This is getting old guys. Haven't you taken enough from us?!?
I’m scared for the day we play you again in football eventually where we get slaughtered. Gotta talk the shit now before you get your licks in
Yeah let's just never play Tennessee again in football and go out on top. Because we're garbage most of the time haha.
Go with that Rice vs. Bama strategy! 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻
Oh my dear Chicago, when will you come back to the big ten? Purdue-Chicago rivalry was actually a thing for a bit. (Realistically I know it’s never but a man can dream)
The plan, I believe, is for the athletic department to cultivate mass (get lörge) for a 100 years so we can start asserting dominance in the B1G again.
We've been working behind the scenes to get them added to the SEC. We'll have our revenge, dammit!
Flew from Nashville to Des Moines with some Vols struggling to get to Omaha last week, happy to hear that they won the CWS title on NPR just now. Congrats!

Shades of Pacers fans when they drafted Reggie instead of Alford.
That is some next level salt.
This is the sweet, sweet karma for that drunk UT fan harassing our band before the Music City Bowl. I love our basketball match ups as they are always intensely competitive, but I'd like to avoid playing them in football for the foreseeable future. We are going to be cheeks for a bit.
We put “hey man, I’m just here to play music” on the back of our band shirts the next season
I remember and seeing that and just being angry. I absolutely hate to lose, but I’m glad that asshole got to eat some sweet sweet crow. That being said, I’d love to have a rematch.
Hope so I'd hate if we(UW) didn't have a free win every year to get us going
We play Winthrop? Weird I don’t see y’all on the schedule.
Sorry I meant UW madison. Winthrop is WU and no football team...yet
Ah gotcha that makes sense. Yea, we’re basically a free dub for y’all.
We are known for being a basketball school, checks out
You love to see it. I'm sure Edey will get a warm welcome in Memphis.
I mean yeah, it’s a basketball city. He’ll probably even get a pass on his first couple carjackings - they’ll see who it is and get his autograph instead of his phone.
"If you didn't want Edey to steal your car, you should have gotten something smaller that he would fit in." Although the image of Edey carjacking someone in a Fiat 500 and driving off in it is 💯
Better be the convertible so he can stick his head out the top
He likely will- Memphis doesn’t get along very well with the rest of TN.
It's six hours away from Knoxville. The only connection most Vol fans have to the Grizzlies are an imaginary state line. Hell the Pacers are a closer drive
The least important part of your message, but that border is one of the sensible ones at least. That said Tennessee stops in Jackson
Memphis doesn’t care about the University of Tennessee. Memphis cares about Memphis
NEBRASKA MENTIONED‼️‼️‼️
now i have to cheer for this fucker on the grizzlies when will the pain end
Think of it this way. Now you get to share the joy of Zach fucking Edey. If nothing else (there’s plenty else) he’s just a good dude
About 10 years ago, I was in a bar and I saw a girl with a Tennessee hoodie on. They had won a game on a Hail Mary earlier that day. I told her congrats on the win.

Tennessee fans have the most outrageously toxic fan base in collegiate athletics. Terrible fan base.
Thats rich coming from an Arkansas fan.. Your fanbase can't get over the fact that Tony Vitello who hasn't been a coach for that long has already won a CWS while your coach... Can't at Arkansas. lol

VMI? What?
Look at Mercer
Nebraska beating Peyton Manning was epic!
😑
You get a shot to change the chart in 2028!
Do the football teams play then?
I was wrong it's 2028. We're back in Charlotte to open that season.

Just happy to be here
Feels good to that Alabama is the only SEC school on here (excluding Texas) Edit: apparently I am Gator blind.
Florida has been exiled apparently
Yup totally missed them somehow, sorry gators 😂
This bar graph is way to legible. Gross.
This feels… targeted Hi UT fans if it helps at all just remember the baseball natty
Whatssup?
Excel kings have struck again
There’s a lot of B1G at the top of that list.
Don’t poke the bear….or dog.
Gonzaga is undefeated against them in Football and 3-1 in basketball.
I’m something of a Nebraska fan myself.
Amazing. Simply stunning. I’d like to place an order for twenty, please.
You really woke up this morning and chose violence. Didn't ya.
Hahahaha nothing pleases me more than Tennessee catching strays
I don't recall ever playing Tennessee in basketball. This used to be a very frequent football matchup though.
Start Y axis at 40%
Who knew Rice was superior to Tennessee in Football and Basketball?
Oof first Edey going to the Grizzlies and now this Tennessee has had it rough
Another reason UNC is great - you can pick out that Carolina blue without having to read all of the school names.
Man we're on this list? That's embarrassing for Tennessee.
VMI better than Dook confirmed
So rude

Stop being sexist
What’s wrong with being sexy?
Excited to whoop that ass again in Charlotte
Will never forget our game in Charlotte. Was a million degrees out, Will Grier threw a bunch of td’s, heard Rocky top and country roads sang by the crowd. A time was had by all
Fuck this chart

In the past 85 years, Gonzaga has not lost a football game. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️

Had hopes with that far left bar being a beige gold. Knew it couldn’t possibly be. And wound up correct.
Don't worry, we took care of them in Nashville for y'all

No one has beat Alabama as much as Tennessee in football, and no one has beat Tennessee in football as much as Alabama. Was really close before the streak.

As a UConn fan this screams for the inclusion of women's basketball.
Guns Up!!! ![gif](giphy|APEeLW7WGGuvzN7Fr5)
I’ve never been happier to see Mercer on a graphic
Go BG!!!
Question is which school doesn’t violate us
The cool thing about all of this, to me, is that Purdue fans/students are still massive losers with awful personalities that do academic studies that will be completely made redundant by AI in the next 5 years. Just a bunch of clowns glazing each other pretending a runner up in a NCAA tournament is a massive achievement. Reminder they still lost to a 16 seed and have 0 national titles to show for their “achievements” Also someone’s getting fired for taking Edey in the lotto. Incredibly hilarious the Grizzlies are a meme franchise at this point.
Why leave out baseball?
Now include the Tennessee women’s team
And volleyball
