Edgecombe still belongs high because the card market already has real proof to work with, not just rookie imagination. The Sixers stage matters, the debut headlines were loud, and the on-ball athletic pop gives the hobby a much cleaner reason to care than a lot of back-end names can offer. Harper's playoff jump simply gives the Spurs guard a fresher edge this week.
