Zach Edey

Reed Sheppard was the guy turning heads at Summer League, but will he get enough run to win the award?

Edey is trending in the right direction. The rookie big man flirted with a double-double and posted his highest point total yet despite playing 19 minutes off the bench. His fantasy outlook is strong ahead of his first NBA campaign.

Edey won't start Monday's preseason game against the Pacers, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.

With Jaren Jackson Jr. (hamstring) sidelined, Aldama has been able to start alongside Zach Edey in the Grizzlies' frontcourt. All seven of his shot attempts on Thursday came from beyond the arc, and Santi was one blocked shot away from a full stat line. The numbers weren't eye-popping, but this was a night when the Grizzlies were also without Ja Morant. Aldama's value once the season begins will depend on Jackson's availability; he's a streamer at best.

Edey didn't shine, but it was encouraging to see him out on the floor after he suffered multiple ankle injuries during Summer League. He has a chance to be one of the best rookies in fantasy basketball this season, and he should help fill the center void with Steven Adams now in Houston. Hopefully we'll see more production out of Edey as Summer League continues.
