Paul Hudrick has been covering the Sixers as a writer, reporter, podcaster, on-camera personality and analyst since 2016. He is the Editor-in-Chief at Liberty Ballers.
It was roughly two years ago that Philly native Justin Edwards, Pennsylvania’s Mr. Basketball and a McDonald’s All-American, was appointment viewing while leading Imhotep to its second straight state title.
He was a five-star recruit, considered the best prospect in the region, the best small forward in the 2023 class, and third-best recruit in the entire country, per ESPN. Like many Wildcats before him, he was going to be one-and-done and was being mocked as one of the top picks in the 2024 NBA Draft.
