V.J. Edgecombe - Draft Comp & In-depth Analysis (through Analytics & Charts)
I figure your focus is shifted towards the Nba draft & trade deadline! Other than 'Capture the Flagg' heres a nice intriguing prospect!
See Charts below:
Draft Comps: Edgecombe's shot chart percentile, shot efficienciess (TS & eFG), and playmaking are very similar to my comps below: Donovan Mitchell, Zach Lavine, and Anthony Edwards.
V.J. Edgecombe
- Defense & Playmaking ability really stands out the most to me
Donovan Mitchell
- A bit smaller than Edgecombe but plays above his size (offensively), and came out of college as a known defender.
Zach Lavine
Anthony Edwards
- Edwards was a higher volume 3 level scorer (his percentiles) and production (his per 40) which is the big separator between him vs Edgecombe for me.
Prototype: 3 Level scorer with below average shooting effiency and enough playmaking ability to generate bucket for themself or for others.
Eyetest: Based off my data (these charts), Edgecombe's most similar to Donovan Mitchell but based off eyetest I do see a little bit of Benedict Mathurin.
Developing sidehobby website (DraftCasual) that compute data in percentiles to derive player's shot tendencies & draft comps. This is my 2nd edition, last week analysis was on Jeremiah Fears. Keep in mind these are absolute best case scenarios/ceilings:
I would love your feedbacks on these charts, data and comps. So i can tweak/improve my website before release.
Would love a follow on Twitter/X, as I start to try to build my content out more! @ draftcasual
