VJ Edgecombe offers two-way value as a perimeter player—something the 76ers have lacked since Jimmy Butler left.
Six years after renting Jimmy Butler's services for a memorable 2018-19 season, the Philadelphia 76ers finally have a high-level two-way wing to replace him. VJ Edgecombe represents a rare opportunity to find reliable value on both ends of the floor from a perimeter position.
Much could be said about the 76ers' inability to properly replace Butler for six seasons, but praise is due for finally addressing a glaring flaw with Edgecombe.
