VJ Edgecombe in his first NBA quarter: 14/0/2 on 5⁄9 from the field and 3⁄6 from 3.
Rookie starting off the season hot!
Box score: https://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore/_/gameId/401809936
He looks 2x faster than anyone else on the court
I know it was a mismatch but the way he blew by Tillman looked so quick
I drafted VJ in an NBA 2k25 franchise and this is basically what happened on every single play after year 1. St Louis Sound legend VJ Edgecombe
You could tell Jaylen was caught off guard as the help defender, VJ got to the rim super fuckin quick.
He and Maxey are playing at a completely different speed
Nah maxey is on that court with him
4x faster than Embiid
I wish I knew how to post clips on this subreddit lol. His second dunk was sick.
A couple 3s, that rim rocker, and great defense on White.
EDIT: Found it
Could be a fluke but that was the best stretch I’ve seen from one of our rookies since Ben.
Michael Carter Williams.
There’s no stretch or game better for a rookie in the modern era, as he almost got a quad dub
Still remember that game he had against the heatles in 2013, i think he had a quadruple double or got close to it.
Close, nobody got a quad dub (registered, Wilt or Bill probably got some)
Four players got an official cuadruple double, Hakeem, David Robinson, Alvin Robertson and Nate Thurmond
Apex Ben Simmons
Michael Carter Williams you mean
Man what could’ve been
what could’ve Ben
McCain impressed me this much last year. We are fortunate.
Had a better stretch in the last game of the preseason
Dude just teleported to the rim.
I love how JB sees that man and just gets the hell out of the way
I love how hype even Scal is
Young fella needs to learn how to land
Find clip on forbidden bird site. Copy link into streamable. Post highlight on reddit with [Highlight] in title
I’m on mobile but thank you brother
if you’re on pc you can just use obs and then upload it to streamable after you edit it down
I thought NBA blocks recording from sites like OBS though? Like all the recording you get is a black screen?
I haven’t uploaded much recently but I never had an issue. Need to turn off hardware acceleration I think?
depends on the stream you use i guess. i never experienced that personally
VJ “LeBron “Micheal Jordan” James” Edgecombe
Edgelord
catchy
Remember when MCW had a triple double in his opening game and led the 76ers to a win against the defending champs.
He’s not going to make 5 threes every night but it was a nice debut. You can’t see the potential.
The lottery has done miracles on me
Tanking succeeds once again
Oh boy their you go processing again
Philly loves their processed lottery picks.
The reboot
I’ve been processing for 15 years. I want to get off Mr. Hinkie’s Wild Ride.
if vj takes off his nickname should be Post-Processing
would recommend
Ping pong balls to the rescue.
Say what you want about his FA signings, Morey has been by far the best drafter the Sixers have ever had.
Morey drafted the best player two years in a row 😈
Won’t deny that he’s drafted really well but it wasn’t exactly a reach for him to take edgecombe at 3 lol
Not a reach but also wasn’t consensus.
iirc he wasn’t early on in the season but by draft night he was solidly 3rd on the board.
Think that was only the case cause Philly indicated that they were gonna draft him.
Ace?
Ace’s stock was falling like crazy because he was refusing workouts and stuff
Only cause people who knew Morey like Bill Simmons said that VJ is a Morey type player and that he would draft him. Reminds me of the days where people would just copy Bills NBA awards ballot lol
Wrap this man in bubble wrap 20 hours per day
now trade Embiid and I will support the Sixers again
I did not see him putting up 6 3s in his first nba quarter. Love to see him let if fly.
He is Ant lite right now. His athleticisim means if you close out too hard he is gonna dunk on you, so the 3 is gonna be open.
They do have a similar play-style, although Ant is much more built which helps him play through contact at the rim. Would like to see VJ continue to bulk up.
VJ will get bigger on the NBA weight regime and diet. He has a good frame he isn’t just a super thin like Chet.
“A super thin”. We need a current player all nba “super thin” team. They can play against first team “thick boys”.
Who’s on that squad? Wemby, Chet…
KD, Chet, Bol Bol, Bones Hyland… is Poku still on a roster?
Wemby is so long but he has broad shoulders so he doesn’t seem as thin naturally as some guys.
Bol Bol, Ingram
He already looks strong for a rookie, but yeah Ant is next level built.
He is strong defensively, but not offensively. Not exactly sure how that works, but he is 20.
what are you on about
VJ goat
Boy likes to shoot
Not to overreact but we’re going to the ECF
Just won a 2k franchise with him, all you got to do is sell your soul, trade embiid for bam and k ware.
The Heat would hang up immediately for suggesting that trade
Bam and Ware for 2025 embiid? If Pat Riley did that trade he would need to be launched into orbit
Not to overreact but we are going to the finals
kid is really good. I look forward to hating on him
V. J. Edgecombe is legit
He’s got an insane bounce and motor
Reminds me of a smaller young Jimmy Butler
oladipo
Yeah he’s for real
he might be the goat
At this rate, he’s going to average 56/0/8 for his career.
He’s not a bad passer
He looks incredibly poised.
Watching him at Baylor, this was always the thing that jumped out the most. He seriously has that trait where his heart rate just does. not. change.
Between him, Ace, and Cooper we’re gonna have one of the best rookie of the year races in a long time.
POST THE DUNK
He will have some 40 point games this year vs teams that simply can’t stop him in transition
Including tonight??? 30 and counting…
Philly got a stud
Was so obvious he would be an awesome NBA player
Wtf are they feeding these kids man
He was so good at Baylor and somehow has just stepped up even more
conch and guava duff
Philly so lucky man
Great defense too.
This kid is the real deal. Watching the game and you would never think it was his first pro game, he’s gonna be a stud!
He looked great in the preseason and he looks great tonight.
The eye test is rediculous too, he’s definitely a star
I saw him play against us (Spain) with The Bahamas in the play ins for the World Cup and knew he would make it in the league.
He going for 30 on his debut daaaaaamn
Dude is a stud
would be a fucking fantastic first game
Before the season started, he was my pick to win ROTY. Starting off strong 😮💨
It’s just one half of basketball and I don’t want to overreact… But he is the goat.
Valdez
this whole draft class is going to be special . glad to see vj killing it it in his nba debut
I feel so back
VJ “Michael Carter Jordan” Edgecombe
Better than Harper
Does this count towards the trust the process?
As a 76ers fan, he was fun as hell to watch.
functional athleticism
THE GENERATOR
Stunning
He looks like Jimmy butler
Wow philly good job with bj
Because Embiid 4 points. You paying this guy $55M to breathe air.
VJ “The Edge”Combe
It’s Maxey’s team now.
Sixers might be watchable this season.🤞
where are his full highlights? I can only find 1 or 2 min videos
It was nice while it lasted
