Now that we know the Sixers have the No. 3 pick, it’s time to ponder what they’ll do in the 2025 NBA Draft.
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.
