Challenge Flagg? Edgecombe scored 34 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal in his debut and has a 15% chance of winning the Rookie of the Year award.

In this campaign, 76ers No. 3 overall pick guard Edgecombe made his career debut. He performed very calmly, with explosive dunks and highly confrontational basket drives. He also performed well in three-pointers from the outside. He played 42 minutes and made 13 of 26 shots, 5 of 13 three-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, and a blast of 34 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 steal.

After the game, US media ProphetX updated Edgecombe’s probability of winning the Rookie of the Year to 15%.
