Toronto native Zach Edey’s rise to the top of the U.S. college basketball world was an unlikely story.
“This is a remarkable story to take all those skills developed through other sports, transfer them into basketball, and then just start excelling having a great work ethic and really a great mind,” Massiah told CP24.com. “That's why people weren't buying into him,” he said. “Just the time needed for him to get to the level where coaches would imagine him being workable or serviceable.”
“We ended up making the finals that year but we ended up losing because I've never seen a team guard him ,” he laughed.He said when the decision was made for Edey to leave Leaside to further his basketball career at the IMG Academy in Florida, his teammates were disappointed that they would have to carry on without him.In Edey’s first year at the IMG Academy, Massiah said he too struggled to make his mark and impress the coaches.
And Edey has proven to be a good fit at the Big Ten school, setting Purdue’s career scoring record just last week.
