VJ Edgecombe has made his presence felt on both ends of the floor since entering the league, but his defensive instincts continue to turn heads. With Philadelphia already in control late against Dallas on New Year's Day, the rookie guard showcases his anticipation and athleticism. As Brandon Williams attacks the rim looking for a quick score, Edgecombe reads the drive perfectly and meets him at the summit, rejecting the layup attempt not once, but twice in midair. The former Baylor standout finished with 23 points, four steals and this highlight-reel block in the 76ers' convincing road victory. · Jan 2, 2026
