With the NBA Draft approaching, here’s the latest scouting report on VJ Edgecombe.

Scouting Report

Edgecombe is a talented true freshman from Baylor, known for his scoring ability and top-tier athleticism. His intensity and aggressive playing style will enhance any team’s backcourt immediately.

Latest Projections

According to John Fanta, Edgecombe is anticipated to be picked by the Philadelphia 76ers as the third overall choice. Fanta states:

“First and foremost, you have to think Daryl Morey is doing everything he can to entice a team into trading the No. 3 pick for Ace Bailey from Rutgers. Philadelphia is positioned to win now with considerable investments in Paul George, Joel Embiid, and Tyrese Maxey. Edgecombe, while slightly undersized, played effectively in the Big 12 with averages of 15 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists per game. He plays the sport correctly and is a valuable asset for Philadelphia.”

Similarly, Jason McIntyre predicts Edgecombe will land with the 76ers, commenting:

“Should they trade this pick alongside a high-salary veteran like Joel Embiid or Paul George, or should they hold it and aim for a playoff run in a weakened Eastern Conference? Edgecombe could kick off his career as a defense-oriented slasher, reminiscent of Russell Westbrook in his rookie season.”
