VJ Edgecombe, a standout from Long Island Lutheran High School, made headlines by being selected as the No. 3 overall pick by the Philadelphia 76ers in the NBA Draft. This accomplishment is celebrated not only for his personal success but also as a milestone for Bahamian athletes, with Yankees player Jazz Chisholm Jr. and others acknowledging his talent and potential. Chisholm congratulated Edgecombe, reflecting on the small but growing community of Bahamian athletes in professional sports. Buddy Hield affirmed Edgecombe's skills, calling him the best Bahamian prospect since Deandre Ayton.
"He's come a long way, but I think he's the best prospect that the Bahamas has had since Deandre Ayton. He's a wonderful talent, but he's also a great kid."
"Congrats to my boy! I've heard of him a lot. I know he's way younger than me."
