VJ Edgecombe drops 19/3/4/4 line in 26 minutes

NCAA Men's Basketball: Baylor Media Day

VJ Edgecombe

PHI Guard #77

Player Stats

VJ Edgecombe poured in a team-high 19 points (6-of-11 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), three rebounds, four assists and four steals in 26 minutes during Saturday’s preseason loss to the Celtics.

Without LeBron James, Jaylen Brown or Joel Embiid in the lineup, it was Edgecombe that led the 76ers with 14 first-half points. The 21-year-old phenom flashed his speed and athleticism on an early baseline drive to the basket that resulted in a three-point play before knocking down a three-pointer shortly afterwards. His most impressive moment came with 7:48 left in the opening half when he took on a pair of Celtics defenders to finish strong at the rim for a three-point play. He’s the single-biggest unknown variable for Philadelphia as his play style and pace seems to be dramatically different from everyone besides Tyrese Maxey. He’ll come off the board as a top-60 range pick in most fantasy drafts this fall.

VJ Edgecombe

PHI Guard #77

VJ Edgecombe recorded 12 points (4-of-9 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), four rebounds and seven assists in Monday’s exhibition against the Knicks.

The 76ers played only two of their expected starters in Monday’s preseason opener: Edgecombe and Jaylen Brown. Both looked sharp, with VJ running the offense more than he likely will once Tyrese Maxey and LeBron James hit the court. Edgecombe dished out seven assists without committing a turnover and also showed flashes of the scoring ability that made him one of the league’s top rookies. While Philadelphia’s loaded lineup may limit Edgecombe’s fantasy ceiling, his floor should be safe.
Cooper Flagg

DAL Forward #32

Cooper Flagg, Kon Knueppel, VJ Edgecombe, Dylan Harper and Cedric Coward were named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team on Wednesday.

Flagg, Knueppel, and Edgecombe all received 100 first-place votes, with Harper’s 93 votes not far behind. Cedric Coward’s 29 first-place votes were the least of the first-teamers. Meanwhile, Derik Queen, Maxime Raynaud, Jeremiah Fears, Ace Bailey, and Colin Murray-Boyles were named to the All-Rookie Second team.
VJ Edgecombe

PHI Guard #77

VJ Edgecombe tallied eight points (4-of-14 FGs), six rebounds, seven assists and one blocked shot in Sunday’s Game 4 loss to the Knicks.

Edgecombe’s outstanding rookie season ended disappointingly, as he missed all six of his three-point attempts in Game 4. The series was a learning experience for the rookie guard, who shot 40.4 percent from the field. Between Edgecombe and Tyrese Maxey, the 76ers’ future appears to be bright, especially on the perimeter. VJ’s fantasy value for 2026-27 depends partially on the availability of Paul George and Joel Embiid, who both played fewer than 40 games this season. Edgecombe’s fantasy floor will be fine, but his ceiling may be limited if George and Embiid are consistently available.
VJ Edgecombe

PHI Guard #77

VJ Edgecombe accounted for 12 points (5-of-11 FGs, 0-of-2 FTs), one rebound, two assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Monday’s Game 1 loss to the Knicks.

After scoring 23 points in Saturday’s Game 7 victory over the Celtics, Edgecombe’s point total in Monday’s series opener was nearly half that. He wasn’t the only 76ers player held in check, as Philadelphia looked tired and shot 41.1 percent from the field. By comparison, the Knicks made 63.1 percent of their attempts in the 137-98 rout. Edgecombe and the 76ers will look to even the series at one game apiece when the teams meet again on Wednesday.
VJ Edgecombe

PHI Guard #77

VJ Edgecombe tallied 23 points (8-of-17 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, four assists and five three-pointers in Saturday’s Game 7 win over the Celtics.

Edgecombe gave the 76ers vital contributions on both ends of the floor to help get the team into the second round. The rookie knocked down five three-pointers on Saturday, and his third-quarter defense on Boston’s Derrick White was also critical. After scoring 19 points in the first half, White was limited to two points in the third quarter, with Edgecombe taking on that assignment. His ability on both ends of the floor will also be important in the 76ers’ second-round series against the Knicks, which opens on Monday.
Tyrese Maxey

PHI Guard #0

Tyrese Maxey accounted for 22 points (7-of-14 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), two rebounds, six assists, one block and four three-pointers in Sunday’s Game 4 loss to the Celtics.

Maxey shot the ball well in Game 4 and committed just one turnover, but the 76ers did not have enough firepower to run with the Celtics. Backcourt sidekick VJ Edgecombe (6/4/1/1) and wing Kelly Oubre Jr. (two points, four rebounds, one assist and one block) shot a combined 2-of-15 from the field, and the 76ers could not overcome those struggles, even with Joel Embiid back in the lineup. Maxey and the 76ers now head to Boston for Game 5 on Tuesday, needing a win to stave off elimination.
VJ Edgecombe

PHI Guard #77

VJ Edgecombe had 30 points (12-of-20 FGs), 10 rebounds, two assists, two steals and six three-pointers in the 76ers’ 111-97 Game 2 victory over the Celtics on Tuesday.

Edgecombe headed to the locker room twice and was seen riding a stationary bike on the 76ers’ sideline at points during the game. Nevertheless, the 20-year-old guard managed to play 35 minutes and was excellent in Game 2. Edgecombe bounced back from a 13-point performance in Game 1 to lead the 76ers with 30 points and six three-pointers in the Game 2 victory. The series shifts to Philadelphia for Game 3 on Friday.
VJ Edgecombe

PHI Guard #77

VJ Edgecombe tallied 13 points (6-of-16 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in Sunday’s Game 1 loss to the Celtics.

Edgecombe’s official playoff debut did not go as smoothly as the rookie would have hoped. While good inside the three-point line, he missed all five of his three-point attempts on the day. Edgecombe played 34 minutes against the Celtics, and that was with the fourth quarter essentially being “garbage time.” Edgecombe and the 76ers will look to put up more resistance in Game 2 on Tuesday.
VJ Edgecombe

PHI Guard #77

VJ Edgecombe recorded a double-double on Wednesday with 19 points (7-of-16 FGs), 11 rebounds, one assist, one steal and one three-pointer against the Magic.

Making his postseason debut, Edgecombe was able to find multiple ways to make an impact, which contributed to them getting the win. Edgecombe enjoyed a fantastic rookie season, and it isn’t a surprise that it translated to postseason success. They’ll need it to continue during their first-round matchup with the Celtics to have a chance to pull off an upset. Game 1 is scheduled for Sunday.
VJ Edgecombe

PHI Guard #77

VJ Edgecombe stuffed the stat sheet on Friday with 16 points (7-of-14 FGs), nine rebounds, five assists, three steals and one block against the Pacers.

Edgecombe continues to stuff the stat sheet in a way that few rookies typically do. He did a little bit of everything in this game to help the 76ers end a three-game losing streak. Edgecombe has taken on a large role during his first year in the league, and he’ll need to continue to make large contributions to help the 76ers make it out of the play-in tournament. Edgecombe isn’t in contention for Rookie of the Year, but he has made a huge impact for fantasy managers and will continue to do so for a long time.

Quentin Grimes tallied 11 points (4-of-9 FGs), two rebounds, three assists and three three-pointers in Friday’s exhibition against the Nuggets.

Grimes, a starter for most of the preseason, came off the bench in Friday’s finale. That may be the role he’s expected to fill, especially as the Lakers await Collin Sexton’s return from injury. The second unit needs a perimeter player who can create offensively, even if the Lakers can stagger the minutes of stars Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves. Grimes can provide scoring, making him a worthwhile pick in later rounds.

Luka Dončić dropped 15 points (4-of-10 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block and three three-pointers in Friday’s exhibition against the Nuggets.

While Austin Reaves and Walker Kessler both played 31 minutes in Friday’s preseason finale, Dončić played 19 minutes. However, that was the plan, with the Lakers holding their star point guard out for the entire second half. Like Reaves, Dončić will now carry an even heavier workload with LeBron James out of the picture. Even with turnover concerns, Luka will be one of the best fantasy players, regardless of league format.

Austin Reaves produced 19 points (5-of-11 FGs, 8-of-12 FTs), five rebounds, three assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Friday’s exhibition against the Nuggets.

For the first time this preseason, the Lakers had their new “big three,” Reaves, Luka Dončić, and Walker Kessler, on the floor together. Shot attempts were close, but the Lakers still need to build chemistry between their star guards and Kessler, the new starting center. Reaves shot 1-of-7 from beyond the arc, but fantasy managers drafting in the next few days shouldn’t worry.

Trevon Brazile amassed 12 points (5-of-7 FGs, 0-of-3 FTs), eight rebounds, two assists, two steals, two blocks and two three-pointers in Friday’s exhibition against the Lakers.

With Aaron Gordon sitting out Friday’s preseason finale, the Nuggets inserted Brazile into the starting lineup. The rookie, who dropped 22 points on Wednesday against the Clippers, had another solid outing to end his first preseason. Brazile may not play heavy minutes, but he’s clearly done enough to crack the Nuggets’ rotation right away.

DeMar DeRozan accounted for 14 points (6-of-9 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), one rebound, five assists, one steal and two blocks in Friday’s exhibition against the Lakers.

After sitting out Wednesday’s exhibition against the Clippers, DeRozan played 27 minutes off the bench on Friday. He’ll be asked to do what he’s done throughout his career: score, albeit in a reserve role. With Julian Strawther (knee) out for at least six weeks, DeRozan’s scoring ability becomes even more important. While this may lower DeRozan’s fantasy ceiling, he remains a solid option for fantasy managers punting three-pointers.

Christian Braun tallied 16 points (5-of-10 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), six rebounds, one assist, two steals and two three-pointers in Friday’s exhibition against the Lakers.

Braun finished his preseason with a solid performance on Friday, shooting 50 percent from the field and recording a solid stat line. Like Cameron Johnson, he’s looking to rebound from a disappointing 2025-26 season. With the talent Braun is surrounded by in Denver, he’ll have every opportunity to do so as a finisher playing off of Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray.

Al Horford tallied 15 points (5-of-8 FGs), two rebounds, one assist and five three-pointers in Friday’s exhibition against the Trail Blazers.

Horford, who is expected to play around 20 minutes per game during the regular season, logged 15 minutes on Friday. That was all he needed to put up quality offensive numbers, shooting 5-of-8 from beyond the arc. Even with Kristaps Porziņģis out indefinitely due to illness, Horford’s limited minutes aren’t enough to make him a viable option in standard fantasy leagues.

Draymond Green amassed seven points (2-of-3 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, 10 assists, three steals and one three-pointer in Friday’s exhibition against the Trail Blazers.

The Warriors started Charles Bassey (six points, four rebounds) at center for their preseason finale on Friday, but he logged just eight minutes. With Kristaps Porziņģis out indefinitely and Al Horford limited to 20 minutes per game, Green will at times be asked to slide into the center position. He’s coming off an underwhelming 2025-26 season, but the Warriors’ need for frontcourt help may improve Draymond’s fantasy outlook.

Yaxel Lendeborg amassed 17 points (6-of-9 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, five assists, two steals, one block and two three-pointers in Friday’s exhibition against the Trail Blazers.

As in Summer League, Lendeborg showed throughout the preseason that he’s ready to contribute immediately. Given the Warriors’ injury report, they’ll need the rookie forward to do that if they’re to be a factor in the West. He recorded a complete stat line in Friday’s preseason finale and appears to have already established good chemistry with the Warriors’ veterans, especially Al Horford. Using a top-100 pick on Lendeborg wouldn’t be a reach, given his likely role as a starter.

Deni Avdija produced 12 points (5-of-15 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block in Friday’s exhibition against the Warriors.

As of Friday, Avdija had a Yahoo ADP of 40, suggesting fantasy managers aren’t too concerned about the potential impact of sharing the court with Damian Lillard and Ja Morant on the All-Star forward. Against the Warriors, Avdija led the Blazers starters with 15 attempts, and usage shouldn’t be an issue for him once the regular season begins. He didn’t shoot well Friday, but fantasy managers shouldn’t worry about that. He boasts top-50 fantasy potential, especially in turnover-punt builds.
