Memphis Grizzlies rookie Zach Edey made a different kind of NBA history
Memphis Grizzlies rookie Zach Edey played his first NBA regular season game against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday, October 23. Edey finished the night with 5 points, 5 rebounds, and 0 assists on 50% shooting in fifteen minutes of playing time. The record that was broken, however, may not be the most illustrious one to break.

Please tell me how great Clingan looked yesterday."
this will get so blown out of proportion by the Edey haters. Please tell me how great Clingan looked yesterdayEdey had an impressive showing in the preseason where he averaged 12.2 points per game, 7.2 rebounds per game, 1 assist per game, and 1 block per game on 50% shooting from the field It should be safe to say that fans should not be quick to jump to conclusions on how well Edey will play out for the Grizzlies based on the performance of one game, regardless of what record was broken. Edey still has plenty of time to prove what his value is to his team and the fans.
