Zach Edey records second double-double game in December

The first time Zach Edey finished with a double-double this month happened on Dec. 15 against the Golden State Warriors. Edey had 13 points and 10 rebounds in the Memphis Grizzlies' 116-110 loss to the LA Lakers. However, the rookie was outmatched by Anthony Davis, who tallied 40 points, 16 rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block.

The next double-double for Edey was on Thursday versus the Toronto Raptors. He had better success against Kelly Olynyk, Scottie Barnes and Chris Boucher. The 7-foot-4 rookie tallied 21 points and 16 rebounds.

Edey was a thorn in the Raptors' side all night. The former Purdue star snared nine offensive rebounds that the Grizzlies converted to 15 points. On the defensive end, he protected the paint. This was perhaps his best game of the season.
