NBA Draft Rumors: 76ers might slide down to snag VJ Edgecombe or Tre Johnson over Ace Bailey




The 2025 NBA draft will allow the Philadelphia 76ers to strengthen the roster following a disastrous campaign last season. With the No. 3 pick, Daryl Morey, team president of basketball operations, has multiple options. Cooper Flagg and Dylan Harper are unanimously considered the 1-2 punch, leaving Morey the alternative to stay at third or trade down.

On Sunday, 76ers insider Keith Pompey reported what the team could do on draft day.

“An NBA scout said he believes Baylor’s VJ Edgecombe, a 6-foot-5 guard, and 6-6 Texas guard Tre Johnson could be better than Rutgers forward Ace Bailey. If the Sixers agree, they could slide back a few slots from the No. 3 pick in the NBA draft to get additional assets while taking Edgecombe or Johnson.”
