Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Edgecombe was born in the Bahamas and immigrated to the United States for high school. He attended Victory International Institute in Florida for two years before transferring to Long Island Lutheran in New York. As a junior, Edgecombe won a state championship en route to being named New York Gatorade Player of the Year and National Interscholastic Basketball Conference Player of the Year. As a senior, Edgecombe earned McDonald's All-American honors, and the consensus five-star recruit picked Baylor over Duke and Kentucky. In his lone collegiate season, Edgecombe averaged 15.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.1 steals in 32.7 minutes per game. He posted 44/34/78 shooting splits on 11.5 field-goal attempts, 4.6 three-point tries and 4.3 free-throw trips per game. Edgecombe was named Big 12 Freshman of the Year and earned Second-Team All-Big 12 honors. Edgecombe's two-way potential jumps off the screen. His elite athleticism, paired with a strong motor and high effort, makes him lethal on defense and in transition. He has the ability to hit circus shots around the rim, but he'll need to be patient and pick his moments better as a pro. Edgecombe profiles as an off-guard in half-court sets, but he certainly has the potential to be a ballhandling playmaker if he improves his decision-making. Edgecombe's ceiling will be as high as his three-point shot takes him. He was solid at Baylor in that department but needs to make a significant leap to be considered an elite 3-and-D wing in the NBA. Edgecombe's prowess on defense and in transition is similar to Amen (6'7, 200) and Ausar Thompson's (6'6, 205), but the twins were taller and stronger coming into the league, and Edgecombe is a better shooter. Jaden Ivey (6'4, 195) has a more comparable frame to Edgecombe, but Ivey had the higher offensive upside, while Edgecombe is a better defender. Given his defensive skills, Edgecombe's floor is similar to a defensive-minded guard like Iman Shumpert (6'5, 220), but his offensive potential is reminiscent of an early Dejounte Murray (6'4,180) or Derrick White (6'4, 190).

Lands with Philadelphia
GPhiladelphia 76ers
June 25, 2025
Edgecombe was selected by the 76ers with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
ANALYSIS
Edgecombe joins a 76ers team that began the 2024-25 season with playoff aspirations but ended up with the No. 3 pick after an injury-riddled campaign. The Baylor product impressed in his lone year in Waco, averaging 15.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.1 steals while shooting 43.6 percent from the field and 34.0 percent from three-point range in 33 games. Widely considered one of the most athletic prospects in the draft, the 19-year-old has the physical tools to transition well to the NBA. He'll be surrounded by a strong core featuring Joel Embiid (knee), Tyrese Maxey (finger), Paul George (thigh) and Jared McCain (knee), all of whom missed time last season and will look to lead a bounceback effort in 2025-26.

Top target for Philly?
GFree Agent
June 25, 2025
Edgecombe appears to be the top target for the 76ers with the third overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, according to Jake Fischer of The Stein Line.
ANALYSIS
The Sixers could still select Ace Bailey despite the Rutgers star cancelling a workout with the team earlier this month, but Edgecombe seems to have bypassed the former as the most likely option to go third overall to Philly unless a shocking trade happens in the final minutes before the draft. Edgecombe, out of Baylor, averaged 15.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.1 steals per game during the 2024-25 college season.
