On February 10, during Purdue’s impressive 79–59 victory over Indiana, Boilermakers’ standout center Zach Edey achieved something remarkable: he sank a three-pointer.
Despite his illustrious college basketball career, which includes winning the AP Player of the Year award in 2023 and again in 2024, Edey had never made a three-pointer before. This event seemed like a rare nod to contemporary basketball from a player known for his traditional style.
Yet, on a Saturday night, Edey repeated the feat.
This time, it occurred during a game between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Orlando Magic. As a rookie, Edey added five points to help the Grizzlies secure a 69–43 lead by halftime. Left open after receiving an inbound pass from Ja Morant, Edey positioned himself in the corner and effortlessly made another three-pointer.
ZACH EDEY FOR 3?!

Despite being new to the NBA and leading the league with 10 personal fouls before Saturday, Edey’s ability to adapt and perform shows why the Grizzlies made a smart choice by selecting him ninth in the June draft.
