Ignore his worst category (field-goal %) and he's worth 0.98.
All-Rookie First Team, and we still believe in the player — the room just got crowded. When we called the sophomore leap in June, the pitch was a clean runway next to Maxey. Since then Philadelphia added Jaylen Brown and LeBron, so we defer the volume rather than the development: 17.5 on 33 minutes has him scoring MORE per minute than he did as a rookie, not less. He is still getting better, he is just getting fewer chances to show it. The real selling point never depended on usage anyway — 1.5 steals from a guard is scarce, and 74 games of availability on a team with Embiid's file is worth something. Watch the efficiency: .44 from the floor is the thing that has to move.
VJ Edgecombe enters 2026-27 at #52 on our board — Round 5 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 17.5 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.6 assists in 33.0 minutes a night. The value is built on steals and assists, with field-goal percentage the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-field-goal percentage builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability helps the case: we project about 74 games.
