2025 Draft Profile - VJ Edgecombe

The Ringer - May 27th: "He has absolute trust in his physical gifts, which grants him a certain level of on-court freedom not afforded to most players. Under those auspices, Edgecombe has honed an anticipatory sixth sense most commonly seen in shutdown cornerbacks."

Kyle Boone - CBS Sports - May 23rd: "A super athlete with a projectable two-way skill set to the NBA level. Edgecombe shot 34% as a freshman at Baylor, displayed immense defensive potential and showed a rounded offensive game with playmaking to boot."

NBA Draft Room - May 22nd: "VJ has elite upside and his ceiling is near the top of this list but there are some things he’ll have to improve on to reach that potential. He’s one of the most explosive athletes in the draft, is naturally talented and is a very hard worker who takes his craft seriously."

Kevin O'Connor - Yahoo! Sports - May 12th: "Edgecombe is an explosive, high-motor wing who flies out of nowhere for poster dunks and chase-down blocks. He pairs his elite athleticism with a knockdown spot-up jumper and fearless slashing, though he needs to improve his shot creation to become more of a primary creator."

Jonathan Givony - ESPN - March 25th: "Edgecombe had a largely successful weekend, capping a strong freshman season, but bowed out to Duke in the round of 32. His electric first step was on display in transition and the half court in both outings, but especially late in the Bears' NCAA tournament opener against Mississippi State."

NBA Draft Room - March 22nd: "After a mixed start to the season Edgecombe has found his grove and re-established himself as one of the elite talents in this class. He’s a breath-taking athlete who will stand out as one of the elite athletes in the league from the moment he sets foot on a NBA court."

Jonathan Giovany - ESPN - March 13th: "He's an event-creator defensively who made 39% of his 3-pointers in conference play. His improved shot creation and passing prowess bode well for his long-term development."

Kyle Boone - CBS Sports - March 12th: "A steady upward trajectory for Edgecombe this season is among the reasons to be encouraged by his prospect profile. He's shown himself a more polished passer and playmaker to go with his exceptional athleticism, all while improving as a scorer."

Jonathan Wasserman - Bleacher Report - March 11th: "He's shown sign of point-of-attack creation with his improved handle and advantage-creating burst. His shotmaking remains streaky, but he's been productive and looked comfortable shooting threes off the catch, and a 77.9 percent mark on free throws and 46.2 percent mark on floaters indicates touch."

USA Today - March 11th: "The Bahamian native has displayed his athleticism, has shown he can be explosive and has an elite knack for steals. He will be able to contribute at the NBA level and can be aggressive at the point of attack."
