Many of the Big Blue Nation and insiders projected that Justin Edwards would be drafted, so on draft night, when his name wasn’t called, it was a shock for Mr. Edwards and BBN

Fortunately for Justin, he signed with the Philadelphia 76ers, which is a good fit for him and a contender in the league. Alongside fellow Kentucky Wildcat Tyreese Maxey, Justin might be able to do some damage.

In Justin’s first Summer League game, he faced some challenges, scoring zero points and making only one rebound, assist, and steal. Many Kentucky fans know Justin had ups and downs while he was a Wildcat. However, in the second game, he showed the spark that excited many Kentucky fans when he scored twenty-eight points against Alabama.
