Philadelphia 76ers fans have been praying for the coaching staff to give rookie VJ Edgecombe as many reps as he can when the games that actually matter finally start. Luckily for them, they might have just gotten their wish thanks to Nick Nurse.
As reported by PHLY Sports’ Kyle Neubeck, the champion tactician bared that a three-guard setup in the starting lineup is currently in the cards for the coaching staff, which means that the 76ers could lean guard-heavy in their rotation to start the season off.
If so, that will play perfectly into what most people are clamoring for — for the coaching staff to hand a starting role to Edgecombe.
