On Wednesday night, the Detroit Pistons took a trip to take on the Memphis Grizzlies. Both teams missed key players due to injury setbacks. For the Pistons, they played without Cade Cunningham, which offered Jaden Ivey another opportunity to hop in the driver’s seat for the Pistons offense.

The Grizzlies have been encouraged by rookie big man Zach Edey's incremental gains over the first 13 games this season.

Leading into the NBA Draft, teams’ front offices usually will huddle together and watch a coveted prospect in person. But as the Memphis Grizzlies deliberated over whether to select Zach Edey, however, they evaluated the potential lottery pick differently.

It’s been quite some time since the Memphis Grizzlies had their high-end draft pick Zach Edey in the mix. With the rookie dealing with an ankle sprain, he remains on the Grizzlies’ injury report for their Wednesday night matchup against the Detroit Pistons.
