In the 2025 NBA Draft, the Philadelphia 76ers added Baylor’s VJ Edgecombe, with the No. 3 overall pick. In Edgecombe, Daryl Morey, Elton Brand and Nick Nurse onboard a guard with both a high ceiling — and the work ethic to reach it.
They apparently did not love any available trade offers on draft night, so they held onto the Bahama native. In the second round, they selected Morehead State bigman, Johni Broome, 35th overall.
With the draft in the rear view, the Sixers now turn their attention to the 2025 NBA Free Agency period.
