Scouting Report
Justin Edwards is a lefty. What you first notice about his game is the defense. He has long arms and really competes on that end. On the ball, in the passing lanes, he can switch up and down a line up and is not afraid to rotate over and take a charge. Offensively, there is a little more of a mixed bag. He moves well off the ball, a purposeful cutter. The jump shot is smooth, but inconsistent and you want to see more 1-2 dribble pull ups. You want to see him develop more craft off the bounce, maybe develop some counters or combo moves there. He is a good athlete, but you would like to see him employ that on the court. Edwards has a solid handle in the open floor, and is able to push the break off a change of possession. There is still some more upside with Edwards, and his confidence is growing by the game.

Personal Life
Justin Edwards said he owes a lot of his success as an On3 Consensus five-star recruit and athleticism largely to his mother, Ebony Twiggs, who played professional basketball overseas while he was growing up. Twiggs was also a local star in Philly at University City before playing at Cheyney University. “She had to sacrifice a lot for me, so this is just me paying her back,” Edwards told the Philadelphia Inquirer. “She’d brag and tell me how she was always good and how she’d cook me when she was my age.” Edwards played AAU ball with Team Final, winning Nike’s 2021 Peach Jam. He also led Imhotep to the Public League championship and PIAA Class 5A title in 2022, averaging 18.3 points and 8.3 rebounds per game.
