VJ Edgecombe admits he isn’t scared of the big moments

VJ Edgecombe spoke to reporters after the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Memphis Grizzlies. Despite the immense pressure, the Bahamian rookie was extremely calm.

Edgecombe admitted that he isn’t scared of the big moments and was ready to take on the challenge of taking the last shot because of the trust his coaches and teammates have shown in him.

“The moment is never too big for me. It’s never too big. I was ready. I barely played the first half because I got in foul trouble.

“I got myself back in, but that’s how it goes. Coach trusted me to make plays, and that’s what I do…”

VJ Edgecombe is the future for the Philadelphia 76ers

Ever since VJ Edgecombe arrived on the Philadelphia 76ers, there has been a lot of talk about the future of the team and whether they should move on from their current crop of veteran superstars.

There were concerns that Paul George would lose his spot to Edgecombe, given that they both are a similar profile and play the same positions.

However, the 76ers have made things work so far and find themselves in a decent position, especially heading into the second half of the season.

Should this campaign end without the 76ers making significant playoff progress, however, the 76ers should consider cashing in on the value of Joel Embiid and Paul George.
