Edmond Sumner has all the tools to be a starter at the NBA level. Unfortunately he has been plagued with injuries. Sumner was shut down after his freshmen year at Xavier due to knee tendinitis and then tore his Labrum on January 10th, followed by an ACL tear on January 29th this season. With a year of recovery ahead, Sumner decided it would be best to do his recovery with the assistance of a professional franchise. Due to these injuries, Sumner is expected to fall to the early second round where the Philadelphia 76ers could draft him and use a two-way contract, giving him time to recover and gain experience in the G-League when he is healthy.
