Former NBA star DeMarcus Cousins has praise for Sixers' VJ Edgecombe

The Philadelphia 76ers have continued to lean heavily on rookie VJ Edgecombe when considering all of the injuries to their main pieces at this stage of the season. It's a lot to ask of a 20-year-old, but Edgecombe has certainly stepped up to the challenge as he had a career-high 38 points and a career-high 11 assists in Tuesday's win over the Sacramento Kings. Until guys like Tyrese Maxey, Kelly Oubre Jr.

, Paul George, and Joel Embiid can return, the Sixers will look to Edgecombe to continue playing this well to keep Philadelphia in the race for the top 6 in the East. Former Kings All-Star DeMarcus Cousins hopped on "Run it Back" and he gave a lot of praise to Edgecombe" Everything about this kid shows that he's a potential superstar in this league. I love everything he brings to the game.

The tenacity. The aggressiveness. The way he flies around on the floor.

This is a superstar in the making. "He's a superstar in the making. " 🤩 76ers rookie VJ Edgecombe went off for a career-high 38 points last night in Sacramento.
