Grizzlies big man Zach Edey shared some insights on in-game coaching and breaking down the rookie wall with some 'hockey' intensity.

One of those rivalries is none other than Memphis Grizzlies rookie Zach Edey and San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama. At only 21 years old, Wembanyama is already being looked at as the future face of the league.

Everyone stops but Ja. He made up his mind that he was dunking on Big Vic right there, no matter what happens next. Meanwhile, Wemby isn’t even fully in position. He slows on his rotation because of the whistle and then gives a half-hearted contest once Morant is in the air and jumping into his chest.

Zach Edey and the Memphis Grizzlies took on the Houston Rockets on Monday night. In their previous win over the Minnesota Timberwolves last Saturday, the Grizzlies rookie nearly notched a double-double performance. Edey added eight points, nine rebounds and one block as he helped his team secure a nail-biting 127-125 win.

Steven Adams, who played three years in Memphis, is convinced that rookie Zach Edey will continue to thrive with the Grizzlies.

Victor Wembanyama may be the single most imposing rim protector in NBA history. He's only in his second season, but his combination of elite athleticism for his size, stellar shot-blocking instincts and absurd eight-foot wingspan makes him a nearly impenetrable obstacle for drivers at the basket.

Star guard Ja Morant dunked on Spurs center Victor Wembanyama, but it came after the whistle had blown. Grizzlies center Zach Edey also had a dunk over Wembanyama that counted, but the 7-foot-3 Frenchman also had eight blocks. Start the day smarter.

Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr., Zach Edey, and the Grizzlies could all but assure a top-six seed with this January schedule.

So far this season, Wembanyama has only three other games scoring either 13 points or less and in the next game after those performances, he is averaging a solid 24 points. Relate

Morant has had several injuries over the past two seasons, and hopefully, this doesn't become a regular thing for one of the young, budding stars in the league. It will be interesting to see what his availability looks like closer to game time.
