The NBA has unveiled its All-Rookie First Team for the 2024-25 season, featuring two Memphis Grizzlies players, Zach Edey and Jaylen Wells. Edey, the ninth overall pick, excelled as a rookie, leading in field goal percentage and rebounds. Meanwhile, Wells, who overcame significant odds as a zero-star recruit, played notably in his first year. The Grizzlies had a strong 48-34 season, albeit being swept in the playoffs. This marks a significant milestone for the franchise, as they previously achieved this in the 2019-20 season with Morant and Clarke.
"Zach Edey and Jaylen Wells were named All-Rookie First Team for the 2024-25 season, marking the third time in franchise history the Grizzlies achieved this feat."
"Edey led all rookies in field goal percentage and rebounds, showcasing his impact with 12 double-doubles throughout the season, despite the team's early playoff exit."
