Following Potential 2025 Draftees

If you are the Sixers front office you put all of the Bailey concerns on blast to try to entice Utah or Charlotte into a trade up. I actually think they select Bailey anyway if no one bites.

That worked great for Rutgers last year.

it did. rutgers was good with Ace on the floor.

How exactly does that benefit the sixers if Bailey is tanking his draft stock?

Yeah, this sounds like 6D chess move....

Seems like Utah, Washington, or Brooklyn. Those are the 3 teams without a clear future lead option.

Washington already has coulibaly, unless they picture Ace as a 2.

Mike Nolan passed on Aaron Rodger’s cuz he was too cocky.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Bilal and Ace can play the wing together either in a jumbo lineup or smaller lineup.

2 is his natural position to the extent that there is a meaningful difference between a 2 and a 3 (which i don't really think there is). he's a wing.

I hate Ace but I’m drafting him if he’s there (even if just to trade him a la @Handlogten's Heros suggestion). If keeping him, I would try to follow that up with trading Lauri for PG and some premium draft comp or McCain or something. Maybe keep Sexton. Ace needs some real mentorship and he’s clearly the kind that won’t accept it from just anybody.

Bilal does not get buckets

Sharife Cooper's dad per X.

Big time GG Jackson vibes with this arrangement. I still take him either as leverage or as a prospect to keep.

Odd, I know teams dislike new/inexperienced agents. Total wildcard dealing with them.

Because they can trade down and still get him. Do we really think Philly is going to draft Tre or VJ?
