The 1990s debate isn’t going anywhere — hand-checking, packed paint, bruising big men, defined roles.

When asked which current players could have been elite in that era, Jaylen Wells didn’t hesitate.

He named LeBron James.

Then he added a Grizzlies twist.

Zach Edey.

Wells said Edey would be “down there battling with some of the greatest centers,” calling him “kind of unstoppable.”

Considering Edey is shooting 63.3% from the field in just his second NBA season and doing most of his work on the block, it’s not hard to see the logic. The ‘90s didn’t demand floor-spacing bigs. It demanded size, touch and physicality.

So here’s the real question:

If you dropped today’s Zach Edey into 1996, is he a 20-and-10 guy? An All-Star? Or even more?

Curious where Grizzlies fans land on this one.
