OFF
Erratic on offense
super explosive, quick first step
loose handle
awkward jumper
no bbiq
play finisher right now
needs to develop a much better handle to be an effective on ball scorer
want to see more transition offense from him
needs to develop a lot on offense this year to be worthy of top 3 consideration
DEF
switchable onto bigs, not quite strong enough to hang with them a ton
super explosive weak side rim protector, should put up a good amount of blocks
great rebounder
active hands
active on ball defender, quick feet
really long arms
OVERALL
Every time I start to feel like he might never be great on offense, every time I feel like he might be a bust, he makes some insane dunk, chase down block, or other insane athletic highlight to bring me back
He has a long way to go offensively, he needs to tighten his handle and figure out his jumper
But his defense and athleticism are so incredibly enticing he has to be top 10 at worst
He’s gonna take a lot of development but he for sure has star upside
Highlight machine with the potential to be a true superstar with his athleticism
Reminds me some of D-Wade
edgecombe has been fairly disappointing so far to be honest.
he looks super raw out there on both sides of the ball, showing potential offensively and defensively, but being really on or off and struggling to be consistently good.
with the aid of his athleticism edgecombe shows he could be a promising player in the future, but he’s far from good right now and his inconsistent effort to improve is a little concerning.
Ridiculously athletic and explosive. Gets to the rim with ease. His jumper definitely needs work. Tight handle. Good defender. Passes and sees the floor well. If jumper improves, he could challenge Harper for the title of best guard in the class.
NBA Comp: Bigger De'Aaron Fox
Crazy athlete that has struggled thus far. Buying all the mechanics and believe he will improve. Riskier lotto pick. The dream is he becomes Jaylen Brown but the low end is Okorro. Shades of young Wiggins and a bit of Mathurin.

mid outcome: Above average offesnive asset who is still one of the leagues best perimeter defenders
