ESPN s latest mock draft: VJ Edgecome enters the top three picks for the first time and is selected by 76ers

Today, ESPN updated the new 2025 NBA mock draft rankings, with Flag being the No. 1 pick, Dylan Harper being the No. 2 pick, and VJ Edgecom entering the top three for the first time to become Tanhua.

ESPN reporter Jonathan Givony captioned: "In ESPN's latest simulation draft, Edgecom replaced Espe Bailey as the candidate for the 76ers. Sources revealed that Edgecom's recent visit to the 76ers performed well, not only showing his strength in private trials, but also impressed with the meeting with management and team bosses. He is currently the "number one", and Bailey refused to be dissatisfied with the team's development plan because he was initially dissatisfied with the team's development plan. The momentum has weakened. However, Bailey plans to go to Philadelphia for trial this weekend. Whether the situation can be reversed is worth paying attention to. During the joint trial in Chicago, Bailey's interview feedback was not satisfactory. Many teams expressed concerns about his lack of preparation and lack of concentration. NBA executives revealed that due to doubts about the game's perception and rough technical issues, Bailey caused serious differences in the team's internal discussions, resulting in his expected choice The pick-up range fluctuates significantly.

If the 76ers choose this amazing new star, paired with top three-pointers such as Terrys Maxi, Jared McCain, Quentin Grimes and Paul George, it will inject a new dimension into the team's offensive system - especially when the team is willing to develop its passing ability for a long time.

Even if the 76ers do not choose Edgecomb, the league generally expects him to be in the first place The fourth pick was selected by the Hornets. But it is worth noting that Edgecom had a trial training for the Wizards before the draft, which implies that the Wizards could intercept the player through a trade to climb up the draft pick (highest or third pick). "

2024-25 NCAA regular season, Edgecom averaged 15 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 2.1 steals and 0.6 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 43.6 and a three-point shooting percentage of 34%.
