NEW YORK — The Philadelphia 76ers selected Baylor freshman guard VJ Edgecombe with the third overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft on Wednesday night. The 19-year-old Edgecombe had an outstanding season for the Bears, averaging 15 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game.

The NBA Draft is officially here, as the first round begins on Wednesday night. That means we’ve come to the end of a long process of scouting, intel work and evaluation while entering the team-building portion of the offseason. What’s so interesting about this draft is that we have very few answers on how the day will look.

The Sixers will have the chance to add one of the top prospects in the 2025 NBA draft with the No. 3 overall pick.
