VJ Edgecombe’s game-winning three-pointer against the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night perfectly represented what he has been for the Philadelphia 76ers this season. At 20 years old, he has developed a trait that many NBA players spend years aiming to acquire.
Edgecombe–as a rookie–has developed into one of Philadelphia’s clutchest players, stringing together a series of moments that fans will remember. Although he is still navigating typical rookie struggles, the former third overall pick has developed a knack for making the big, winning plays at the largest of stages presented to him early in his NBA career.
