The Philadelphia 76ers added an athletic young wing in the 2025 NBA draft by taking VJ Edgecombe out of Baylor with the No. 3 pick in the first round. From a basketball standpoint it's a great selection for Philly. Edgecombe comes with great potential but can contribute immediately with his defensive skills and great physical traits. From a human standpoint, it seems the Sixers got a good one.
Edgecombe was pulled for an interview with NBA TV after he got drafted and got very emotional while speaking about the impact his mother has had on his journey to the NBA.
