Philadelphia 76ers rookie VJ Edgecombe was among the players who participated in a private run organized by assistant coach Rico Hines in Southern California.
Edgecombe was seen playing alongside the likes of Johni Broome, Nique Clifford, Justin Edwards, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Jabari Walker and Trendon Watford, among others. The group played several games in the video posted by Hines on YouTube.
Hines hosts the pick-up games each summer at UCLA and has enlisted some of the top players in the NBA. The sessions often feature exciting highlights of the group working on the court.
Edgecombe was the Big 12 Freshman of the Year at Baylor, averaging 15 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.1 steals on 34% shooting from 3-point range at Baylor. He finished in double figures 27 times, including a season-high 30 points on Jan. 22 in a win over Kansas State.
The third pick debuted with the Sixers in the NBA Summer League, averaging 21.5 points, eight rebounds, four assists, two steals and 1.5 blocks on 42.5% shooting from the field. He was limited to two appearances due to a left thumb sprain.
Edgecombe has had a busy offseason on and off the court since joining the team. He has hit the court with several teammates and appears to be ready for his upcoming rookie campaign.
