More often than not, drawing comparisons with current NBA stars or legends from the past yielded overblown estimations. However, given how sensational VJ Edgecombe has been for the Philadelphia 76ers in his rookie year, it is objectively hard not to see shades of some of the best guards the league has ever seen.
Heck, even the pundits are seeing the same. Bill Simmons, a longtime NBA analyst, recently said on record that Edgecombe might actually be Dwyane Wade, which makes a ton of sense from a stylistic point of view. After all, the 76ers rookie does resemble the Heat legend in a plethora of ways.
