The last year hasn’t played out the way Justin Edwards likely expected it to.
This time last year, the wing was on his way to the University of Kentucky for his freshman season after graduating from Philadelphia’s Imhotep Institute Charter High School.
Edwards had a lot going for him coming out of his final season at Imhotep. As as senior, he led his team to its second consecutive state championship, averaged 17.9 points and 7.5 rebounds per game and was named Mr. Pennsylvania Basketball. Edwards was a consensus five-star recruit and was even considered to be a top-three recruit in the nation by outlets such as ESPN.
