The 2024 NBA Draft is behind us and the rookies of this year's class are ready to take the floor.
Purdue star Zach Edey is among the most highly anticipated NBA debuts after a decorated college basketball career that resulted in back-to-back Player of the Year trophies.
The 7-4 monster dominated for the Boilermakers this past season, averaging 25.2 points, 12.2 rebounds, 2.2 blocks and 2.0 assists per game. He'll look to prove that his improved mobility and conditioning can transfer to the NBA level, trying to set the tone at Summer League with Memphis.
The No. 9 overall pick first took the floor when the Grizzlies played in the Salt Lake City Summer League.

When does Zach Edey play in Summer League?
Edey backed out of his commitment to play for Team Canada at the 2024 Paris Olympics to focus on his preparation for his first NBA season. He is participating in Summer League.
"I have made the difficult decision of pulling myself out of the process to compete for a spot at the Paris 2024 Olympics with Canada," Edey said in a statement.
"I have a duty now to properly prepare for all that is coming my way with being drafted by the Memphis Grizzlies. The work I put in this summer on my body and my game is critical for me to be the best version of myself."
You can find the Grizzlies' complete schedule for both Salt Lake City and Las Vegas below.
