Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George was hyping up No. 3 overall pick and new teammate VJ Edgecombe following the rookie's NBA Summer League debut over the weekend.

LAS VEGAS -- As the Philadelphia 76ers continue with the summer league, they hope to eventually bring back rookie VJ Edgecombe into the fold. The No. 3 overall pick of the 2025 NBA draft had a fantastic summer league debut on July 5 in Utah, but has since missed the last three games with a left thumb sprain.

After walking out of the draft lottery with the third overall pick, the Sixers found themselves with a big decision to make. Despite being connected to an array of prospects, Daryl Morey and the front office went with guard VJ Edgecombe out of Baylor.
