BillLike what he said foot four. Actually, we'll skip ahead because Zach Gledey was on my list as my Memphis guy. We talked about him on group chat. Yep.

Bill11 games last year, 77 total. He was 7 '4", 300 pounds. And I don't know what happened with going from a high ankle sprain to basically a year of injuries and surgeries trying to fix it.

BillAnd yet, as we talked about in group chat, because we all like Memphis this year.

BillThe ideal situation for Zach Eady, next to Boozer, with those guys just pounding the glass and then athletic swings jumping around. And it's a team I'm really bullish on as like a better than a 29 -win team, which is what they're being predicted to. What are you expecting from Eady, though?

Mahoneyguy where you have to pay attention to how he's positioned you have to take away those passing angles as much as possible I just think that makes Ty Jerome's job that much easier and makes Scottie Pippen Jr.'s job that much easier guys who are like really good scores and high effort players but not visionaries as far as like running an offense goes.
