Zach Edei achieves a feat that Victor Wembanyama could not match
The Memphis Grizzlies see a break by center Zach Edeiwho has just achieved something even a phenomenon Victor Vembanyama he hasn’t done in his young NBA career. The sophomore has recorded at least 15 rebounds in four straight games, an impressive streak that underscores his emergence as one of the league’s most productive rebounders.
Edei’s most recent appearance was on Tuesday night against San Antonio Spurswhen he scored 19 points and grabbed 15 rebounds in a tough 126-119 loss. The outing extended his streak to four straight games with 15 or more rebounds, a feat that has yet to be matched by Wembanja, the third-year Spurs center whose 7-foot-4 frame makes him one of the few players in the league who can match the 7-foot-3 Edea in terms of sheer size and impact.
User X (formerly known as Twitter) Craig (@dvierc33) has opened an account to point out statistical milestone, which sparked conversation among NBA fans online.
“@Grizzlies 2nd Year Center Zach Edey has now grabbed 15+ rebounds in 4 straight games
@Spurs 3rd Year Center Victor Wembanyama has never had a 3 game streak with 15+ rebounds.”
Edei’s production was elite during this period. Over his last four games, he’s averaging 19.3 points, 16.5 rebounds and 2.8 blocks while shooting over 70 percent from the field. The highlight came Sunday night against the Sacramento Kings, when the former Purdue star erupted for 32 points and 17 rebounds in a dominant double-double.
Over the past ten games, Edei has averaged 13.6 points, 11.2 rebounds and 2.6 blocks, showing steady growth and a strong presence for the Grizzlies. And while the Spurs phenom still belongs in a category of his own, his consistency and rebounding put the big man in elite company early in his NBA career.
The loss to the Spurs dropped Memphis to 9-13 on the season after entering the night on a three-game winning streak. Even so, at only 23 years old, the Grizzlies center proves he can solidify a fight against any opponent — even those considered generational talents.
