VJ Edegecomb is definitely the "Wild Card" of the draft. He's got the rare athletic explosion coupled with three level potential scoring 🔥….
Edegecomb could add a lot of dynamic scoring to Brooklyn's core 😎….
Edgecomb has athletic ability, speed in transition, can finish at the rim, can dunk, has defensive potential and score in a variety of ways 😎 🔥….
He's like a baby Ant man 2.0 🔥 and it would be very intriguing if Brooklyn drafted him…..
If Brooklyn somehow misses out on Cooper Flagg Ace Bailey or Dylan Harper, VJ Edegecomb would potentially be a steal 🔥.
Another thing to consider is Brooklyn will have other first round draft selections to work with as well….
If Brooklyn drafted VJ Edegecomb they should pivot to trying to draft a guard in a Boogie Flands, Tre Johnson or Dink Pate. Then Brooklyn should try to address the 3 by drafting 6 8 225 pound Carter Bryant. Bryant has the raw abilities of strength, speed passing and quickness that could make him a solid addition to Brooklyn's future 🔥….
So a potential VJ Edegecomb Dink Pate and Carter Bryant combination in the 2025 draft would give Brooklyn " rotational depth" as well as core pieces and help position the Nets for the 2026 draft 🔥….
@Locked On Nets Hey Doug and Adam. Could you potentially do a video on big man Khaman Maluch? He's going to be playing in Duke alongside Cooper Flagg 😲. Could be interesting 🤔?
An athletic wing with the defensive mindset. Definitely can get down with that. Looking forward to next year’s draft. However, first things first let’s see whats to come this upcoming season for the Nets.
