Media people talk about Edgecombe: Sometimes it takes a process to accumulate talent, sometimes it just requires forming the Big Three

On October 23, in the NBA regular season, the 76ers narrowly defeated the Celtics 117-116.

In this game, 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 on outside three-pointers. 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.

The rookie's 34 points were also the third-highest debut scoring list among rookies in NBA history, second only to Chamberlain and Selvey.

Media person Kong Dexin commented on this. The original text is as follows:

The great Iverson scored 30 points in his NBA career debut. He was the player who scored the highest score in his career debut in the history of the 76ers.

The last rookie to score 30+ points in his NBA career debut was Odom in 1999.

Only one rookie in NBA history scored more points in the first game of his career: Chamberlain (43).

If we set the standard as 30 points + 5 three-pointers, VJ will be the only one.

Sometimes it takes a process to accumulate talents, sometimes you just need to form a Big Three...
