Edgecombe, who comes from the Bahamas, has outstanding physical condition and remarkable explosiveness. This season, he participated in 33 NCAA games, averaging 15 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 3.2 assists. Originally, the top prospect was Ace Bailey from Rutgers University, but he canceled his workout before the draft, affecting his stock and causing him to drop out of the top three picks. He was eventually selected by the Jazz at the fifth position.
