VJ Edgecombe

Edgecombe is one of the first players from the Bahamas to be selected in the top five of an NBA Draft — a landmark moment for basketball in the Caribbean.

He wore jersey number 77 with the 76ers, an unusually high number that reflects his unique personality and willingness to embrace individuality.

Growing up in Nassau, Bahamas, Edgecombe idolized Bahamian basketball stars and has spoken about representing his country on the NBA's biggest stage.

At 20 years old, he is one of the youngest players on the 76ers roster — a player whose ceiling is still largely unmapped and whose best basketball is clearly ahead of him.
