Sixers' Draft Moves: What's Next for the Team?

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USAThu Jun 26 2025
The Philadelphia 76ers are trying hard to move up to the second spot in the draft. They want to pick Dylan Harper, but it looks like the San Antonio Spurs are not willing to let go of that pick. The Spurs seem set on keeping Harper for their team's future. The Sixers might end up staying at the third spot. They are waiting to see if other teams make better offers. Ace Bailey is still in the mix, but he has shown interest in teams that can give him more playing time and a bigger role. Even so, Bailey's shooting skills make him a good fit with Joel Embiid and Paul George. If the Sixers pass on Bailey, he likely won't fall too far. The Washington Wizards at the sixth spot could be a good fit for him. Bailey has turned down workouts with other teams, including the Utah Jazz. The Wizards offer the kind of role and playing time Bailey is looking for. As the draft gets closer, more inside information is coming out. It's an exciting time for the Sixers and their fans.
