Ace Bailey is one of the best players in the NBA Draft because of his size and athleticism. He is 6'10” but can move up and down the floor with ease. He is also a terrific shooter, and that has all come from practice.

Bailey is generally viewed as the third-best prospect available in a loaded 2025 NBA draft, but might be a longer-term project whose developmental timeline does not align with the win-now Sixers.

The NBA Draft Combine might never have quite as much star-making power as its NFL counterpart, but make no mistake: a good week of measurements, athletic testing, and interviews can change a young basketball player’s life forever.
