76ers New Co. Tanhualang: I look like Butler, I imitate Oladipo, I have referenced Wade

Philadelphia 76ers' new Cottish VJ Edgecombe recently participated in the podcast program "Podcast P with Paul George" by teammate Paul George, who also talked about topics about his game style and characteristics.

Echcomb said: I think I play a bit like Jimmy Butler, and I look a bit like Jimmy. I think my own style of playing is what I got after imitating Victor Oladipo during the Indiana Pacers. In addition, I have also referenced Dwyane Wade's playing style. In this league today, I often watch Anthony Edwards games, and I also hope to play in the field with his style.

Echcomb was born in July 2005 and is a 19-year-old wing player with excellent physical talent and athleticism. According to data from the previous joint trial physical test, Edgecombe's bare foot height is 193cm, his wingspan is 201.9cm, his standing height is 257.8cm, and his weight is 87.6kg. In the NCAA game last season, Edgecombe played 33 times in total for Baylor, and averaged 32.8 minutes per game, with 15 points, 5.6 rebounds (2 frontcourt rebounds), 3.2 assists, 2.1 steals and 0.6 blocks, 1.9 turnovers and 2.5 fouls, shooting percentage of 43.6% (5/11.5), three-point shooting percentage of 34% (1.6/4.6), and free throw shooting percentage of 78.2% (3.4/4.3). Edgecombe received the honor of the Big 12 League's Best Rookie, and he was also shortlisted for the Big 12 League's Best Rookie Team and the Big 12 League's Best Rookie Team, which also shows that his performance has been widely recognized by everyone.

In the previous NBA Summer League, Edgecome played 2 games in total due to injury, averaging 30.1 minutes per game, averaging 21.5 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1.5 blocks, 2 turnovers and 1.5 fouls, shooting percentage of 42.5%, three-point shooting percentage of 16.7%, and free throw shooting percentage of 77.8%. Edgecombe was affected by injuries during the summer league and missed several games, which also led to some problems with his feel. However, his role on the court is actually very prominent, especially on the defensive end, he has shown his strong personal defensive ability, and he can also take on a lot of responsibilities on the defensive end. Edgecom also has rich offensive methods and comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end. His impact and breakthrough ability are very outstanding, and he can also undertake some tasks in passing and organization. He is also a player with very comprehensive personal abilities. I don't know what he will perform next season.
