It’s no secret that Philadelphia 76ers rookie VJ Edgecombe loves to work. He loves the game of basketball and he has a strong desire to be the best every single day. In order to be the best, one has to continue working maniacally and train with the best.
Edgecombe was in the gym prepping for the NBA draft with one of the best to ever do it: Dallas Mavericks star Klay Thompson.

A 4-time champ during his days with the Golden State Warriors, Thompson is one of the best shooters the game of basketball has ever seen and he was working with Edgecombe in an effort to help the young man grow and develop.
If there is one area of Edgecombe’s game that needs defining and work, it’s his 3-point shot. He needs to continue working on that shot which will unlock so many other parts of his game. The explosive guard already has a ton of athleticism and can take anybody off the dribble. He just needs a consistent jumper.
