A diamond in the rough. That's what the Philadelphia 76ers achieved in a Draft that could change their future. Everything revolves around Embiid right now, but they are in a position to look optimistically towards the long term with McCain, Maxey, and a VJ Edgecombe who is surprising everyone.

As much as his immense talent was already recognized by many, what VJ Edgecombe has shown in training has made a very positive impression on the Philadelphia 76ers. This 20-year-old Bahamian has great maturity, competitive spirit, and a willingness to improve every day.

He has connected particularly well with Tyrese Maxey, who offered an interesting insight into the Bahamian. "He has a special talent that many NBA players overlook, which is playing with great intensity on both sides of the court. He rebounds well on defense and offense, protects the ball, runs in transition, and executes good defensive rotations. Not many people do all of this well. He is eager to improve, the sky is his limit," said the Philadephia 76ers guard, who could give the starting position to VJ Edgecombe in the initial games due to uncertainty with Grimes and McCain's injury.
