VJ Edgecombe is so Philly it’s wild. First a bit of non-story (knock wood) comic relief, then we’ll get into it.

The 19-year-old poured in a game-high 28 points on 13 of 27 shooting, hauled in 10 rebounds, dished out four assists, made two blocks and had just two turnovers. While Edgecombe struggled from beyond the arc (1 of 7) and from the charity stripe (1 of 3), it won't take away from the fact that his Summer League debut was a resounding success.

The restricted free agency of shooting guard Grimes is the Sixers' elephant in the room and has, as yet, yielded almost no movement.

Philadelphia All-Star forward Paul George sees a certain superstar rival in rookie teammate VJ Edgecombe's game.
