VJ Edgecombe will play for the 76ers in 2025-26 season.
VJ Edgecombe created a buzz when he was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers as the No. 3 pick in the 2025 NBA draft. Edgecombe played for the Baylor Bears in the NCAA 2024-25 season. The Bahamian guard played a crucial role in Baylor’s strong season, standing out as one of the Big 12’s most consistent performers. The team despite multiple challenges finished well in the Big 12 Conference.
Edgecombe didn’t just shine for Baylor, but he also left a mark on the entire Big 12 Conference with his consistent impact. Emigrating from Bimini, Bahamas in pursuit of elite basketball opportunities, Edgecombe faced challenges that shaped him.
The NIBC Player of the Year was also a consensus five-star recruit that rejected offers from powerhouses like Duke and Kentucky. Playing for the Baylor Bears, VJ Edgecombe averaged 15.0 points and 5.6 rebounds.
VJ Edgecombe is the most explosive athlete in this class, but shows quite a bit of skill as well. He's an event-creator defensively who hit 39% of his 3s in Big 12 play with improving shot-creation and passing prowess that bodes well for his long-term development. pic.twitter.com/aIwf9EGLS4

VJ Edgecombe Age
The point guard was born on July 30, 2005, in Bimini, Bahamas to Bendra Rolle. He is currently 19-years-old.
VJ Edgecombe Height
Edgecombe stands at 6’4” which is well suited for a guard, giving him a stature to post-up smaller guards or to disrupt passing angles. However, the 19-year-old might face mismatches against elite, larger-scoring guards or wings.
VJ Edgecombe Weight
The shooting guard weighs 193.2 pounds (92 kg) and has a build that emphasizes speed, quickness, and agility over brute strength. This helps him in rapid transitions, defensive slides, and change of direction moves.
VJ Edgecombe Vertical and Wingspan
VJ Edgecombe has a wingspan that exceeds his height at 6 ‘7.5″. This gives his extra reach on both ends of the court. It also aids in picking rebounds by extending his body further than many opponents.
Edgecombe boasts a 30-inch standing vertical and a 38.5-inch max jump, marks that show his explosive athleticism. A strong vertical jump will enable him to elevate over defenders, and secure contested layups. To maximize his leaping ability, Edgecombe will need to fine-tune his body control and midair decision-making.
