Purdue is a special place for Zach Edey. And on NBA Draft night, he wants to spend at least one more evening on campus, celebrating his journey to the next level with those closest to him.
"Purdue center Zach Edey was being invited to attend the NBA Draft, a source told ESPN, but has elected to decline and watch the draft with his teammates, coaches and family at Purdue instead,"After his workout at the NBA Scouting Combine in May, Edey said he would prefer to spend the special evening back in West Lafayette. He wanted to be able to show appreciation to everyone who helped him during his time with the Boilermakers.
"And then other people that I would never see again. Like tutors at Purdue that really helped me, staff at Purdue that really helped me. My trainer. I want to say a final goodbye to them. So, I'm gonna do it at Purdue."
