Tremendous Upside

I think Edgecombe is mostly a defensive disruptor, and he should be good one. He's athletic enough that he can gamble and recover in many cases. He can affect plays from behind. He's also going to be a force flying to the rim off of cuts. But that said, I don't see him commanding a high number of shot attempts on a good team, or running sets when there are better creators and decision-makers on the floor.
Even though his build is quite different, I think he can be a valuable player in the role of a Lu Dort. And he probably will blow past some defenders in a few iso situations. The main question will be -- how many positions can he guard? Can he guard 1 - 3 like Alex Caruso and Dort can? I'm starting to believe that he'll make enough shots to be a starter.
Young D-Wade with slightly less scoring and more defense.
