The Philadelphia 76ers were able to keep a young piece in tow on a 3-year deal in an effort to continue adding a strong supporting cast around Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey. Justin Edwards, an undrafted guard out of Kentucky, did a lot of great things in the 2024-25 season earning him a new deal.

Edwards was the nation's No. 2 recruit for Imhotep when his team faced New York's Long Island Lutheran in 2022. Edgecombe, then a junior, had 24 points in the 65-55 win.
