Justin Edwards is showcasing his potential in the Summer League, illustrating his readiness for a significant role with the Philadelphia 76ers. The second-year forward, who had an impressive rookie season, is being encouraged by coach TJ DiLeo to embrace his shooting, particularly from beyond the arc. Averaging 7.3 three-point attempts per game in Las Vegas, he’s connecting on 40.9% of those shots, expanding his game effectively.

Edwards is also stepping up defensively, leading by example for his younger teammates. His commitment to both offense and defense underscores the Sixers' strategy of developing their young talent during this critical summer period. The Sixers aim to utilize these games to enhance player development rather than focus solely on victories.
