Overview

• Bailey has canceled his scheduled private workout with the 76ers and remains the only U.S.-based prospect to decline all team visits since the draft combine.
• His agent, Omar Cooper, insisted the Sixers commit to Bailey before the workout, arguing he merits a top-three selection and immediate playing time.
• Despite the canceled meeting, the 76ers have not ruled out using their third pick on Bailey after extensive scouting and a pre-draft interview.
• The Washington Wizards, New Orleans Pelicans, and Brooklyn Nets have expressed interest in trading up to secure Bailey, increasing pressure on Philadelphia’s decision.
• As an alternative path, the 76ers are weighing Baylor guard VJ Edgecombe or trading down if they opt against selecting Bailey at No. 3.
