They better not take VJ. It would be a big mistake if they pass on Ace. He has the mentors to help him expand him game in Philly
I did a Google search on if VJ was a gym rat and came up with this:
Yes, VJ Edgecombe is often described as a "gym rat" due to his exceptional athleticism and work ethic. He is known for his explosive jumping ability, high motor, and dedication to developing his skills. [1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4]
Elaboration:
• Athleticism: Edgecombe's incredible athleticism is a key characteristic. He has a reported max vertical jump of 38.5 inches and is known for his speed and ability to finish at the rim. [1, 1, 4, 4]
• Work Ethic: Scouting reports and profiles often emphasize his high motor and dedication to improving his game. He is described as having a relentless pursuit of excellence. [1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4]
• "Gym Rat" Definition: While the term "gym rat" is not a technical term with a strict definition, it generally refers to a player who is dedicated to honing their skills and physical conditioning through tireless work in the gym. Edgecombe's combination of exceptional athleticism and dedication to improvement strongly aligns with this description. [1, 1, 2, 2, 5]

I did the same search on Ace and came up with nothing. I don't care about fit. NBA history is filled with draft mistakes because of fit. Not just Jordan. VJ is explosive and has a Maxey like attitude. As for their shooting statistics, they aren't that different.
Sixers need a big back up center and powerful forward, We need more size too🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
I think the Grimes / McCain back court is best moving forward. They would make a great tandom and would only get better over time. They need to draft Ace Bailey (PF) and Maxime Raynaud (C) to play behind Paul George and Joel Embiid
I think San Antonio is goin Ace they don't need another guard
Bailey or VJ would be fine.
Kon the next Bobby Jones, trade back to Utah, steal markenan and get kon.
A no brainer draft Harper or Bailey
Has to be Bailey. Only other option is queen.
The 6ers are allergic to long wings.
I think we're ok in the guard realm. I remember when Jayson Tatum's jump shooting was a nice to have out of college. I haven't a clue who to take in this draft, but who not to take seems pretty obvious.
