The home has no power! I have been struggling for seven years! The NBA Tanhua Show is so inspirational

The draft has ended. The 76ers selected VJ Edgecom at the third pick in the first round, giving up Es Bailey, who refused to try out, and the latter fell to the fifth pick. Edgecomm is a Bahamas player and fellow Aidon and Hild. Edgecom was born on July 30, 2005. He is 1.93 meters tall, has an arm span of 2.02 meters and weighs 88 kg.

Echcomb was born and raised in the Bimini Islands of the Bahamas, and his village was not even powered, making it particularly difficult to bear at night. After becoming the NBA's Tanhua Show, Edgecomb said in an interview: "It's really hard to think back to those long nights. There was no electricity at that time, and I lived on a generator for 7 years." The lining of the draft suit, Edgecomb posted photos of himself and his family. When the interview was about to end, Edgecomb choked and said, "Think about how much her mother has paid to support us!" In order to enable Edgecomb to develop better in basketball, in his third year of junior high school, his mother took him to the United States to study and train.

Edgecomb's rookie contract is $50.44 million for four years, and now he is able to support his family. Edgecomb's athletic ability should be the best rookie in 2025. He said: "I can jump as high as anyone here (the draft site) and run as fast as anyone here. I will do my best to influence the game."

Senior high school, Edgecom only ranked 153rd in the United States; by the time he graduated from his senior year, he was already ranked in the top 5 in the United States! Many famous basketball schools such as Duke and Kentucky sent invitations, and Edgecomb finally chose Baylor University. Edgecomb's physical fitness exploded, and the running and jumping height was 98 cm. He was indeed the first "spring man" in 2025! In the 2024-25 season, Edgecom averaged 32.7 minutes per game at Baylor University, scoring 15 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 2.1 steals and 1.9 turnovers, with three shooting percentages: 43.6%, 34%, 78.2%. In the 2024 Olympic qualifiers, Edgecom averaged 16.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of up to 57.1%.

Echcomb's teammates in the Bahamas include three NBA players: Ayton, Hilder and Eric Gordon. The young man can still play impressive data and conquered many NBA teams. He is 1.93 meters tall and is not outstanding as a wing player. Fortunately Edgecomb has excellent explosiveness, and his draft templates are Oladipo and Jaylen Green.

NBA has never lacked talented players, and it is not that simple to gain a foothold in the league. Edgecomb's advantage is that his breakthrough speed is extremely fast, he is full of energy on the field, and can drive his teammates. The disadvantage is that the long-term investment and organizational capabilities are average, and there is still room for improvement. In addition, he weighs only 88 kg and is difficult to compete in the No. 3 position in the NBA.

76ers have Maxi and Fairy Brother, Edgecom will not have too many ball rights, he needs to improve his ability to miss the ball and three-pointers. Before the draft, Edgecomb held a trial for the 76ers and had dinner with Maxi. But he refused to try out for the Hornets with the No. 4 draw, and the Hornets finally took away the trial-tested Conkniper.

The last question: Do you think Edgecom can hit the 76ers? Will he be traded next?
