76ers No. 3 picks are popular, Edgecombe is favored by management for offense and defense potential

According to famous reporter Jake Fischer, VJ Edgecom will be the third favorite to the 76ers in this year's draft.

Jake Fischer said: "Edgecombe's work ethics, personality and interview performance are impressive. He has had dinner with the Sixers' management, and sources say Maxi even flew to the scene for this. Sources also revealed that the Sixers are obviously interested in what kind of defensive supplements Edgecom can provide to the team's All-Star guards, and he also has explosive potential on the offensive end."

Jake Fischer also pointed out that the Sixers are the only team known to the media to have tried. Several teams reportedly believe the Baylor player may not be participating in more league trials, but is still in the early stages of the draft process.

It is reported that the only thing that can be confirmed in the 76ers draft plan is that they will choose a rookie before the lottery draw. An Eastern Conference executive told Fischer that the 76ers may retain the Tanhua sign or trade several picks down. Regardless of how the Sixers operate, they must continue to build a young core roster, especially with uncertainty about the future of Embiid and Paul George.
