I know you’ve dabbled a bit here on the media side. Can you talk about where your mind has been since you’ve been away from the game? Victor Oladipo: My mind has been within myself. Bettering myself mentally, physically, and spiritually. And understanding who I am and where I am. And getting an understanding of why I became the way I became and why things might have happened the way they happened for me. And choosing to form this new identity and new version of myself.

Edgecombe’s ability to do that is the reason one scout believes he is better than restricted free agent Quentin Grimes, who’s seeking $25 million per season. One scout said Edgecombe can replicate what Grimes brings on the defensive end and compared the rookie to a young Victor Oladipo. He noted how Oladipo worked on his shot and blossomed into a two-time All-Star before injuries set in. Edgecombe doesn’t strike the scout as someone who is complacent about his game.
