Edgecombe is a maniacal worker who has a willingness to get in the gym and work as hard as ever in order to take the next steps in his game. He averaged 15.0 points and 2.1 steals per game while at Baylor and is looking to move forward as he prepares for the summer league in Salt Lake City and Las Vegas.

VJ Edgecombe could become the first Philadelphia 76ers player to wear No. 77. The Sixers shared a video on Thursday of the No. 3 pick of the 2025 NBA draft signing a photograph with his new number. No previous players have worn No. 77 for the Sixers franchise, according to Basketball Reference.
