If there’s one thing you know about Zach Edey, it’s that he’s tall.
The former Purdue big man dominated the college game with a 7-foot-4 frame that made him an absolute menace in the paint. It remains to be seen how his style of play will translate to the NBA, but there’s a reason the Memphis Grizzlies invested the ninth overall pick in him.
We saw a bit of that reasoning in a practice photo released Monday that you just have to see to believe. While it’s not a surprise that Edey can dunk with ease, it’s a bit jarring to see him put down a jam without his feet leaving the court.
And yet, here we are.

The Toronto native was an absolute star at the college level, winning the Naismith College Player of the Year Award in back-to-back seasons. He’s now tied for the tallest player in the league along with last year’s first overall pick Victor Wembanyama and Houston’s Boban Marjanovic.
He’s also tied for the 10th tallest athlete to ever play in the NBA.
