Read More The 7-foot-3 Canadian is coming off a solid rookie season with Grizzlies. He was named to the NBA's all-rookie first team after notching 9.2 points and 8.3 rebounds per game over the 66 contests he appeared in and collecting 85 total blocks. During his time with Purdue, Edey was a two-time NCAA player of the year and was selected ninth overall by Memphis in last year's draft. However, his sophomore season likely will have a delayed start after Edey underwent surgery on his left ankle earlier this month. The big man required the procedure to repair and restabilize his ankle after spraining it again during off-season training. He also had missed 12 games early in his rookie season due to a sprained ankle. World Columnists World Toronto & GTA MMA
