Sixers guard VJ Edgecombe wins Rookie of the Month award for March

Philadelphia 76ers rookie VJ Edgecombe continues to impress in his maiden NBA season. The No. 3 overall pick is on a tear at the moment and really stepped up for a long stretch with Tyrese Maxey, Paul George, and Joel Embiid sidelined with issues they were dealing with.

In the month of March, Edgecombe had some big numbers as he put up 18. 9 points, 5. 8 rebounds, and 4.

3 assists with the team's three stars all missing an extensive amount of time. That type of production earned him Rookie of the Month honors for March as he took home the award for the Eastern Conference. Edgecombe won the East while Sacramento Kings big man Maxime Raynaud took home the award for the West.
