The Philadelphia 76ers are rightfully excited for the first foray of rookie VJ Edgecombe into the NBA hardwood next season. After showing off in spectacular fashion in his couple of Summer League stints, both the team and the fanbase are raring to see how his already fluid game will translate into the big league.
Edgecombe’s specific role next season remains to be seen, but he will most definitely be one of Nick Nurse’s trusted guys, especially when it comes to the scoring end. He is already way ahead of most of his peers as a three-level scorer, and his additional strengths on defense fortifies his case as a potential franchise cornerstone in the future.
