Jaylen Wells keeps the No. 4 slot in the latest NBA Rookie of the Year rankings. Wells, a second-rounder, has had more impact this season than Zach Edey. He remains the most consistent rookie since the start of the 2024-25 campaign.

Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey will face off against Victor Wembanyama on Wednesday in a battle of two of the NBA's tallest players.

Zach Edey only played one half against the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night.

Zach Edey didn't break his streak of single-digit scoring games, but he had a solid performance on Wednesday night against the Hornets at FedExForum.

Fitting in with the Grizzlies in general has not been a problem though. The only headaches are the type every organization expects with a new face at the facilities. Finding the right spots on the court has been more of an adjustment than joining a new team with an unfamiliar playbook.

During the regular season, Baun recorded 151 tackles to go along with 3.5 sacks, five forced fumbles, four passes defended, and one interception. He has already been named to the Pro Bowl and has been nominated as a first-team All-Pro player.
