Zach Edey played in three of the Grizzlies preseason games averaging:
22.4 PTS, 15.3 REB (7.1 OREB), 2.0 AST, 3.1 STL, 3.1 BLK, on 77.8% FG% per 100 possessions. With Edey on the court the Grizzlies had an offensive rating of 116.3 and a defensive rating of 87.6 for a net rating of +28.7.

The 2026-27 NBA season is upon us, so The Athletic is asking its staff for their predictions for the upcoming campaign.

According to our 30 respondents, a New York Knicks repeat is unlikely, the Defensive Player of the Year race is essentially a wrap and a star-studded squad in the Eastern Conference might be disappointing.

Grizz finish 70-12. Zach Edey wins MVP and DPOY averaging 28/18/3 in 28 mpg. Boozer wins rookie of the year. Jitty comes back home and we win the championship in game 7 on a buzzer beater Jitty 3. Nobody gets seriously hurt all season. Trust 🙏

Ben Simmons was supposed to start at guard for the Kings but tore his Achilles fwiw

For you pro-Walt sickos that are sad to see him go, cheer up with these Javon Small per-36 numbers:

26/6/9 on 43/40/88 shooting with 3.6 steals!

Small sample size of worthless preseason stats when he was only averaging 10 minutes a night against inferior competition? Maybe! But can he replicate that in the regular season and become the starting PG of the future? MAYBE!

I know on DAZN, I signed up for a free acct so she can see 15 season games free.

My mom followed Cameron Boozer at Duke and wants to watch and see how he does with the Grizzlies. But I notice we don't get most of the games here including this Wednesdays game she was excited to watch. I really hate to spend around 100.00 just so she can watch one team.

I think NBA League Pass has a 13.99 per month for one team. Is that the best way to watch? Maybe I'll get her a couple months. She has ROKU and notice they don't even have the NBA League Pass app.

Does DAZN or NBA League Pass ever have promotions? Any other options?

Thanks.

Hello, I am currently conducting surveys for the fanbases of all 30 teams before the regular season officially starts. If you could fill out this poll once, that would be greatly appreciated. Results will be posted later on after the start of the regular season, likely around the trade deadline. Thanks! Also, none of these questions are marked as required so if you only feel like answering some, that is completely fine.

Also PSA for anyone concerned: This poll does not require an email address to complete and does not ask for anything that could identify whoever is taking it. These are completely anonymous and you could theoretically take it multiple times, though it is asked by me for the polls sake that you only take it once. I am not affiliated with the NBA or with any media outlet revolving around the NBA in any way, I am just an independent strong fan of the game who loves surveys like these. I was able to do this last year and was thrilled to get over 2000 responses, and hope that it can be as successful this year.

Dear Diary, I want to take back of what i said about Quinten Post and i hope he can read this post too. I've realized in the past that i've held grudges and that isn't healthy. I shouldn't have kept hating Quinten Post especially after the incidents that happened and that's what made me not like him. But i shouldn't have stayed mad at him because of those incidents and i learned to move on from things. I don't hate Quinten Post anymore as he is a tough and good player for life and i hope he reads this to show That i'm truly sorry for saying that i dislike him. I hope he and you guys can forgive me one day and i know that's going to take some time. But i want to once again apologize for writing that post and saying that i hate him as i no longer hold grudges against him as i finally learned the importance of moving on from the past. Thank You all and have a good night.

Kevin Garnett has the record for best single game (20min+) defensive rating with 43.4.

Unlocked Edey against a true mismatch is going to be scary. Edey was up against Kalkbrenner and Steinbach on a tear both of which aren’t bad matchups for him.

What have your opinions been through the 4 preseason games? I really don’t think he’s looked too bad. Do you think the culture change will bring more effort out of him?

After my baseball team lost in the playoffs, I'm ready for Wednesday!!!

Shout out if you got your tickets and are ready to get loud for this new era of Grizzlies Basketball! 🏀

Hi Guys,

I thought Cam Boozer comp coming into the league was Paolo Banchero, but from the few games that Boozer has played so far in the pre-season, Boozer already processes the game better Banchero. Whats your comp for Boozer.

Cameron Boozer wasn’t the top pick in the draft, but he was the top player on one analyst’s board. With a ready-made role as the featured player on a rebuilding Grizzlies team, Boozer is predicted to win Rookie of the Year.
