Overview

  • Bailey canceled his scheduled 76ers workout and remains the only US-based top prospect yet to visit any NBA team.
  • Sources say Philadelphia’s front office still has Bailey under serious consideration at No. 3 and is unlikely to trade down in the draft.
  • His camp has demanded a top-3 guarantee and a clear pathway to starter minutes, a stance that has rattled league executives.
  • ESPN’s latest mock draft projects Bailey dropping to No. 6, reflecting concerns over his unconventional pre-draft approach.
  • Philadelphia conducted a private workout with Baylor guard VJ Edgecombe as an alternative option, and other clubs like the Wizards, Pelicans and Nets may pursue trades to move up if Bailey falls.
