UNITED STATES – VJ Edgecombe is ready for his first NBA season.

Taken 3rd overall in the 2025 draft, big things are expected from the 20-year-old guard from Bimini, and he’s been spending the offseason preparing himself for the game mentally with 20 year NBA vet Kyle Lowery and physically with the training staff.

VJ was only three years old when his countryman, Eric Gordon, made his debut.

He’s ready to be a good mentor and play his role as a sharpshooter.
