Sixers Zeroing In On VJ Edgecombe As Hornets, Wizards Also Interested

The Philadlephia 76ers are believed to be zeroing in on VJ Edgecombe with the No. 3 overall pick. Edgecombe visited the Sixers last week.


"Edgecombe is said to have impressed with his work ethic, personality and interviews," writes Jake Fischer. 


Tyrese Maxey also flew in to meet with Edgecombe. The Sixers are bullish on how Edgecombe could help offset Maxey on the defensive end of the floor, while the Baylor product also has upside on offense.


Edgecombe has yet to meet with any other teams and there's been some speculation that he might not conduct any additional ones. The Charlotte Hornets could select Edgecombe at No. 4 if he's not selected by the Sixers.


Additionally, league executives believe the Washington Wizards have interest in trading up for Edgecombe. The Wizards own the No. 6 and No. 18 selections in the first round.
