With the lottery taking place last week, I decided to hold my mailbag until we knew for sure where/if the Sixers would pick.
The Sixers will have the No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. Considering the alternatives, keeping their first-rounder and jumping up two spots in the lottery is a strong outcome — but it does lead to a lot of uncertainty.
If they landed the No. 1, the pick would’ve been Duke’s Cooper Flagg. No. 2 would’ve been Rutgers’ Dylan Harper. At No. 3, the options are plentiful. Do they simply take Rutgers’ Ace Bailey or Baylor’s V.J. Edgecombe? Do they have their eye on a different player or a trade-down scenario? Without a consensus No. 3 player, it seems most things are on the table.
Hit me your questions and let me know what you think in the comments below. I’ll do my best to answer as many as I can.
