The Philadelphia 76ers reportedly continue to be enamored with Baylor guard VJ Edgecombe as the 2025 NBA draft draws nearer.

With the 76ers having the No. 3 pick in the NBA Draft, there has been a player labeled as the "leader in the clubhouse" for the selection.

Daryl Morey is keeping everythig close to the vest, and there is uncertainty on what he'll do with the 76ers' No. 3 pick.

The Philadelphia 76ers are in the process of doing their due diligence ahead of the 2025 NBA draft. They hold the No. 3 pick in the draft and will be looking to add a talented, young piece to a roster in need of an injection of youth at this stage of their championship quest.

Rutgers star Ace Bailey is considered the most polarizing player in the 2025 NBA Draft. While some pundits considered him a can't-miss future superstar, others are concerned about how his unorthodox shot diet will translate to the NBA.

That is a three-spot fall for Bailey from Givony’s previous mock, which projected him to be selected by the Philadelphia 76ers as the third pick. The forward is “losing momentum after refusing to visit” Philadelphia because he was “initially unsatisfied with his search for a proven pathway to development,” per Givony.
