With three weeks to go until the 2025 NBA draft, smokescreen SZN is in full effect.
This paragraph from Matt Moore of the Hardwood Paroxysm Substack is the perfect summary of where things stand with three weeks to go until the 2025 NBA draft.
“The Sixers are sending out mixed signals about that third pick. I’ve heard they’re willing to move it for a star upgrade, want to keep it, and are fine with taking Ace Bailey, and that they are not fans and may take VJ Edgecombe instead. All options are obviously on the table for a team in their position. So that clears that up.”
As Liberty Ballers editor in chief Paul Hudrick wrote the other day, the Sixers have done a great job of masking their actual intentions with the No. 3 overall pick thus far. That only stands to benefit them, particularly if other teams grow infatuated with one of the prospects in that range.
So, on the precipice of the 2025 NBA Finals—aka the Isaiah Joe vs. T.J. McConnell Bowl—what questions do you have about the Sixers’ upcoming offseason? Fire away with any draft, trade or free-agency questions either in the comments section here or on Bluesky (@btoporek.bsky.social) and I’ll answer as many as I can tomorrow.
In the meantime, catch up on our draft profiles across the site! The LB gang has been doing a killer job previewing basically any prospect whom the Sixers might select.
