- In the lead-up to the 2024 NBA draft, Zach Edey’s name was mentioned a lot in the media as a late riser. It is unclear whether this was a smokescreen attempt by general managers. It is rumored that the Rockets may have started this rumor because they wanted Reed Sheppard to fall to them, and by suggesting Zach Edey may go third, it took the attention away from Sheppard.
