Edgecombe closed with eight points (4-14 FG, 0-6 3Pt), six rebounds, seven assists and one block over 30 minutes during Sunday's 144-114 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Edgecombe had some issues from the field, shooting just 28.6 percent, bringing to a close what was an impressive rookie season. While he was not really in the Rookie of the Year discussion, Edgecombe certainly compiled a solid campaign, averaging 15.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.0 three-pointers over 75 regular-season games plus the playoffs. He closed as a top-70 fantasy asset, which should put him on the radar as a mid-round selection heading into next season.

Edgecombe produced 17 points (6-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 40 minutes during Wednesday's 108-102 loss to the Knicks in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Edgecombe has been playing well through the first two games of this series, totaling 29 points on 11-for-24 shooting to go with five triples and five dimes. He may need to stay hot in Game 3 to give Philly its best chance of avoiding an 0-3 deficit.
Edgecombe registered 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Monday's 137-98 loss to the Knicks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
The 76ers were blown out of this contest, and fatigue may have played a role after a grueling seven-game series against Boston. Through eight playoff games, Edgecombe is shooting 42.2 percent from the field and 31.5 percent from three with averages of 14.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.0 steals in 37.1 minutes per contest.

Edgecombe helped put an end to Boston's season, adding to what has already been an impressive rookie season. It was the first time Philadelphia has been able to rally from a 3-1 series deficit, and doing so against Boston made it that much sweeter. In his first seven postseason appearances, Edgecombe has averaged 15.1 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.1 three-pointers in a whopping 38.4 minutes per game.
