The top two selections in the draft are expected to be Cooper Flagg (No. 1) and Dylan Harper (No. 2). That leaves the Sixers with the likes of Ace Bailey, VJ Edgecombe, Tre Johnso

Rutgers star Ace Bailey isn't the best player in the 2025 NBA Draft. That distinction would go to Duke's Cooper Flagg — the projected No. 1 overall pick in next month's draft. Bailey isn't even the best draft prospect from his own college team.

Bailey averaged 17.6 points and 7.2 rebounds in his sole NCAA season. While his Combine height results (6'7" barefoot) have disappointed interested teams, his ceiling as a potential modern version of Tracy McGrady with his lanky frame and scoring ability will be too attractive to pass up on.
