Memphis Grizzlies rookie Zach Edey's size and strength were popular topics at the Rising Stars media session. Fellow Rising Stars players, including Scoot Henderson and Stephon Castle, commented on Edey's impressive physique. Opponents, such as Amen Thompson, acknowledge the challenge Edey presents on the court.
