Former Purdue basketball star Zach Edey begins his third NBA season with the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday.
The two-time National Player of the Year, who led the Boilermakers to an NCAA runner-up finish in 2024, is the only former Boiler on an NBA opening-day roster.
Edey was the No. 9 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.
On Tuesday, the Grizzlies announced they're exercising Edey's rookie scale contract option for 2027-28, meaning he'll remain under contract with Memphis through at least next season.
As Edey and the Grizzlies begin the regular season, here's where all former Purdue basketball players stand in career NBA/ABA points going into 2026-27.
