US Edition76ers Take Baylor’s VJ Edgecombe with No. 3 Pick in the NBA Draft
- The Philadelphia 76ers selected Baylor guard V.J. Edgecombe with the No. 3 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft held Wednesday night in Brooklyn.
- The Sixers endured a 24-58 season marked by injuries to Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey, prompting management to seek a younger, more athletic roster.
- At 19 years old and hailing from the Bahamas, Edgecombe contributed solidly as a shooter and facilitator in 2024, putting up an average of 15 points per game alongside more than 5 rebounds, just over 3 assists, and roughly 2 steals, while maintaining a field goal percentage near 44%.
- Edgecombe said he feels blessed after being drafted, and Team President Daryl Morey confirmed plans to improve roster youth and athleticism during the summer.
- The Sixers aim to integrate Edgecombe as a potential playmaker to help contend after last season’s struggles and injury setbacks limited championship hopes.
