2024 Fantasy Outlook
In his lone collegiate season at Baylor, 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. The 76ers selected him with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, but Philadelphia's wing rotation is muddied. Outside of Tyrese Maxey cemented as the starting point guard, there are Quentin Grimes, Jared McCain and Kelly Oubre in addition to Edgecombe. The rookie probably has the inside track to occupy one starting spot, but how much usage is available for him after Maxey, Joel Embiid and Paul George get their touches? Embiid and George will probably miss enough time to give Edgecombe some high-usage opportunities, but will that usage be consistent enough for Edgecombe to be a standard-league relevant asset in fantasy?

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).

Tallies 25 points in loss
GPhiladelphia 76ers
January 20, 2026
Edgecombe recorded 25 points (10-21 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block over 37 minutes during the 76ers' 116-110 loss to the Suns on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Edgecombe stepped into a larger role offensively due to the absences of Joel Embiid (ankle) and Paul George (knee). Tyrese Maxey struggled from the field (7-25 FG), but Edgecombe's efforts helped the Sixers keep pace on the second night of a back-to-back. It was Edgecombe's 11th 20-plus-point performance of the season and his most points in a game since Jan. 3 against the Knicks (26 points). The rookie first-rounder has earned a prominent role for himself with the 76ers, and he'll have opportunities for big nights in games where one or both of Embiid and George do not play.
