A two-time National Player of the Year and a 2024 NCAA runner-up, Edey holds the distinction of being the only former Boilermaker currently on an NBA opening-day roster. Selected as the ninth overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Edey has already demonstrated his prowess by accruing a notable 760 career points in the 2023-24 season. As the Grizzlies commence the 2026-27 regular season, Edey joins a roster of former Purdue basketball players whose NBA/ABA point totals are showcased. Glenn Robinson leads the pack with an impressive 14,234 points amassed across his NBA/ABA career from 1993-94 to 2005-05. Joe Barry Carroll follows with 12,455 points, while Brad Miller amasses 9,724 points over his extended career spanning from 1998-2012.
