Former Kentucky wing Justin Edwards says he was the best player in the 2024 NBA Draft.
Edwards was undrafted but signed a two-way contract with the Philadelphia 76ers after the Draft.
“I feel like I was the best player in the draft,” Edwards told Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer. “But I’ve been coming from behind my entire life, so it ain’t nothing, really. It’s just another wall I got to run through. I’m going to get through another obstacle so I’ll be cared for.”
Edwards averaged 6 points, 3 rebounds and 1.3 assists for the Sixers last week in the Salt Lake City Summer League.
