The Sixers are signing Kentucky wing Justin Edwards to a two-way contract, sources tell Shams Charania of The Athletic (Twitter link).
A former top high school recruit, Philadelphia native Edwards had an uneven freshman season for the Wildcats, averaging 8.8 PPG, 3.4 RPG and 0.9 SPG on .486/.365/.776 shooting in 32 games, including 30 starts (21.4 MPG).
Edwards was the top undrafted player on the open market following the 2024 draft, according to ESPN’s best available list. He had a second-round grade from ESPN draft expert Jonathan Givony (No. 39).
This seems like a good move. Not a fan of the Bona pick at all and McCain is automatically a bench piece so that didn’t help either.
