Grizzlies vs. Magic in NBA home opener

Edey committed two fouls in the first three minutes of the game and had three fouls before halftime. He sat most of the second half and played just 13 minutes in the Grizzlies' 124-111 win Saturday at FedEx Forum.

However, it wasn't all negative for Edey. The 7-foot-4 center made a 3-pointer for the first time in his career and finished an efficient 3-of-4 from the field. The jump shot wasn't a big part of Edey's game at Purdue, but it was a focus early in his NBA career.

The ninth overall pick in April's NBA draft only attempted two 3-point shots in college, i.e. one. A respectable outside shot could add another element to Edey's game and the Grizzlies' offense as he continues to build chemistry with star guard Ja Morant and others.
