The Philadelphia 76ers wrapped up a challenging summer league campaign, where Justin Edwards showcased promising developments despite not dominating the scoreboards. Averaging 12.7 points and shooting over 40% from three-point range, his improved shooting is an encouraging sign for the 2025-26 season. The emphasis on increasing three-point attempts paid off, as he took 6.2 shots per game, a notable uptick from the previous season.

Furthermore, Edwards stepped up as a secondary playmaker in the absence of a primary ball-handler, effectively relieving some pressure off Tyrese Maxey. His free-throw attempts also saw a rise, indicating a more aggressive approach to scoring. As the Sixers look to integrate him alongside their star players, his ability to spread the floor and drive to the basket could play a pivotal role moving forward.
