[Saba Sports News] Ja Morant, known for his incredible vertical leap, needs every inch of it to challenge his towering new teammate, Zach Edey.
A surreal photo of Morant attempting to defend the 7-foot-4 Edey in practice went viral this week. The image captures Morant leaping as high as he can to contest Edey’s shot, with Edey barely leaving the ground.
At 6-foot-2, Morant joked about Edey’s massive height after the Grizzlies drafted him in June, and now he’s experiencing it firsthand.
Surprisingly, Edey’s height difference with Morant isn’t the largest on the Memphis roster, as Edey recently posed for another memorable photoshoot with an even shorter teammate.
