VJ Edgecombe scores the most points ever by a Sixer and the most by any NBA rookie in their debut since Wilt: 34 pts, 7 reb, 3 ast, 1 stl on 13-26 FG, 5-13 3PT
Sixers rookie VJ Edgecombe was incredible in his NBA debut, scoring 34 on 13-26 FG, 5-13 3PT in a close win over the Celtics. Edgecombe also grabbed 7 rebounds, made 3 assists, and recorded a steal. He played a team high 42 minutes.
According to the Sixers broadcast, his 34 pt performance breaks Allen Iverson’s record for most points ever by a Sixer rookie in their debut (30) and is the third most ever scored by an NBA rookie in their debut, falling only behind Wilt (43, 1963) and Frank Selvy (35, 1954).
It’s safe to say that VJ launched his ROTY campaign tonight.
