There is a lot to be excited about if you are a Philadelphia 76ers fan, especially after landing VJ Edgecombe with the third overall pick in last month’s draft. But as much as the buzz is justified, there needs to be a bit of a reality check when it comes to what his rookie season might actually look like. With the current structure of the roster, it would be wise for fans to temper their expectations early.
Edgecombe is going to be a key part of the franchise’s future, that much is obvious. But when you take a closer look at the depth chart, it is clear that he will not be thrown into the fire right away.
