V.J. Edgecombe makes bold prediction about Philadelphia 76ers

When it comes to the Philadelphia 76ers’ chances of making a run in the Eastern Conference after the All-Star break, rookie V.J. Edgecombe is pretty confident.

In fact, Edgecombe thinks the Sixers could be the top team in the conference – if they can remain healthy, which is never a guarantee, especially when it comes to the Sixers.

"If we're totally healthy I think we're gonna be the team to beat coming out of the East, if you ask me,” Edgecombe said on NBA TV. “[It’s] just the faith I have in my guys and my coaches and everyone. So I think we got a chance to make a far push, for sure.”
