Barring injury, it's hard for me to see how Edgecombe doesn't become a good NBA player. Even if his shot somehow regresses he seems like at least a Josh Hart type. He does almost everything well.

Think I've landed here: If the Sixers wanna take a big upside swing at 3...I'd prefer Queen to Bailey. Queen was *way* better in college and does things on the court that you rarely see. His highlights wow me more than Bailey's -- and Bailey is supposed to be the highlights guy.

The Sixers' chances of getting a starter-level player at Pick 35 is low. Looking at every player drafted in that spot since 2000...only about 5 (20%) reached that threshold. But about 40% of players drafted with that pick became regular rotation guys. Huge opportunity for a cash-strapped team

The job market facing recent college grads has grown increasingly bleak. Why? And is this a blip or a sign of things to come? We'll discuss today on Studio 2. Tune in at noon on WHYY or You Tube: www.youtube.com/live/TyA4eW0...

am i to understand that Josh Harris now has two successful football teams on two continents...and zero successful basketball teams? because that would be extremely not fun for me as a fan of the basketball team he owns.

It's election day in Philadelphia and a guy who is related to NFL Coach Kevin Stefanski and former Sixers GM Ed Stefanski is running for judge. (The guy's name is Anthony Stefanski)
