Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George was hyping up No. 3 overall pick and new teammate VJ Edgecombe following the rookie's NBA Summer League debut over the weekend.

While on his podcast, Podcast P with Paul George, 76ers star and teammate Paul George chimed in on Edgecombe having some high praise for the rookie. “VJ showed flashes of stardom," George said.

The 19-year-old poured in a game-high 28 points on 13 of 27 shooting, hauled in 10 rebounds, dished out four assists, made two blocks and had just two turnovers. While Edgecombe struggled from beyond the arc (1 of 7) and from the charity stripe (1 of 3), it won't take away from the fact that his Summer League debut was a resounding success.

The restricted free agency of shooting guard Grimes is the Sixers' elephant in the room and has, as yet, yielded almost no movement.

Though he didn't play against the Thunder, VJ Edgecombe's Summer League debut for the 76ers placed him in elite NBA company.

Philadelphia 76ers rookie VJ Edgecombe was in the gym with Dallas Mavericks star Klay Thompson to get ready for the NBA.
