Baylor freshman V.J. Edgecombe, a potential top-five selection, has declared his intentions to enter the draft, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports tweets.
Edgecombe is ranked as the No. 4 prospect on ESPN’s Best Available list, behind only Duke’s Cooper Flagg and the Rutgers duo of Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey. The Athletic’s Sam Vecenie has Edgecombe going off the board with the No. 3 pick ahead of Bailey in his latest mock draft.
Edgecombe plays with a high motor and defends, which makes the 6’5” wing a safe pick despite his roller-coaster offensive season, Vecenie writes. NBA executives are mixed on his on-ball upside, Vecenie adds, with some comparing him to Victor Oladipo, whereas others see him more as a standout 3-and-D player with tremendous athleticism.
Edgecombe averaged 15.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.1 steals per game in his lone season with the Bears. A native of the Bahamas, Edgecombe shot 43.6% from the field and 34% from distance. He averaged 15.5 points and 5.5 rebounds in two NCAA Tournament games and had a season-high 30 points against Kansas State in January.
I like Tre Johnson more at SG
Yes he should be a top 5 pick. ..
What’s the word on Malauch’s status? They’ve revoked South Sudanese visas. The administration seems to want to deport everyone. They want to deport Afghani translators who helped US troops. He might have to go through a huge fight to stay in the country. It would be a shame…Going to Europe might give him more time to work on his game.
Not millionaires lol …. Top 6 pick is due about 50 mill 5 yrs.
Huh? How does he get any money if he is not in draft?
Cut this guy’s athleticism and he doesn’t have much. Westbrook type
