The 76ers keeping their first-round pick following last Monday’s dramatic draft lottery provides them with optionality. The most straightforward, of course, is taking a player at No. 3, where Rutgers wing Ace Bailey and Baylor guard VJ Edgecombe are the most popular choices among outside evaluators and those who compile mock drafts.

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

The Philadelphia 76ers will have plenty of avenues to turn to when they head into the 2025 NBA draft. They will hold the No. 3 overall pick which is a powerful tool for a team to have in its quest to bounce back from a miserable season.
