The 2025 NBA Draft is nearly here. The two-day affair kicks off Wednesday night in New York. Duke sensation Cooper Flagg is a certainty to go to the Mavericks with the No. 1 pick. Dylan Harper from Rutgers appears like he's heading to the Spurs with the No. 2 overall selection. After that? The first round should get interesting.

Sixers move on from Ace Bailey. So who's the third pick? The first round of the NBA draft is Wednesday. With the No. 3 overall pick, the Sixers have the chance to select someone who could be a cornerstone of their franchise.

Rutgers wing scorer Ace Bailey is one of the highest-upside prospects in this draft with a ceiling that arguably rises above anyone's who's not named Cooper Flagg. Bailey, though, also happens to need copious amounts of seasoning, giving him perhaps the widest range of possible outcomes for his NBA career.
