The Philadelphia 76ers have had an interesting last 12 months, first watching their max signing of Paul George crash and burn in epic fashion, but being rewarded for their misery with the number three overall pick. At that spot, the 76ers selected VJ Edgecombe, the standout combo guard from Baylor who burst onto the NCAA scene a year ago.

While VJ Edgecombe was the favorite to go No. 3 to the 76ers in the 2025 NBA Draft, Paul George reveals when he knew that was the pick.

Philadelphia 76ers rookie VJ Edgecombe is as competitive as they come, and he let that competitiveness get the best of him when he played in a pickup game against Dallas Mavericks star Klay Thompson.
