Jared McCain and VJ Edgecombe are the Sixers' youngest building blocks. The good news: the two guards are already joined at the hip.

It was just one game — a summer league exhibition at that — but VJ Edgecombe provided a glimpse of what could make him a solid addition to the 76ers. It’s easy to become leery of performances from contests that aren’t remotely close to actual NBA competition.

Philadelphia 76ers rookie Johni Broome opens up on fellow rookie VJ Edgecombe, superstar Joel Embiid, and what he wants his legacy to be.

Standing next to one of his closest friends in the NBA -- new teammate Trendon Watford -- Sixers star Tyrese Maxey was in tremendous spirits on Saturday in Las Vegas.

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.
