Sixers Draft Report LEAKED…All Signs Point to This

the countdown to the nba draft continues on and the rumors and reports continue to swirl with every day there does seem to be a lesser and lesser chance of the philadelphia 76ers taking a swing on rucker’s product ace bailey with the third overall pick we have a huge new report regarding how his stock may be dropping in the nba draft possibly out of the top five altogether i want to break down exactly what we know at this current point talk through my concept of what this all means to ace bailey and how much people should read into this pre-draft process over what he’s shown on the actual court itself and why vj edgecomb has certainly seemed to solidify himself as the leader in the clubhouse for who the sixers selection will be now before i dive fully into things do want to remind you guys as always to make sure you are hitting that subscribe button at this point in time only 31.5% of you guys watching these videos right here on sixers digest have subscribed to the channel just yet want as many of you as possible a part of the sixers digest family there are plenty more exciting times on the horizon for the sixers team and want each and every one of you along for the ride now to dive into the story of today first want to start off with this report from draft express here that writes “ace bailey’s draft stock has fallen due to his unwillingness to visit several teams and the fact that he has yet to conduct a single workout per at draft express which is jonathan gavone there.” bailey believes he’s a top three player in the draft and wants to be selected by a team that will provide a clear pathway to stardom quote “baileyy’s pre-draft workout strate strategy has perplexed some observers as he has yet to conduct a single known workout to date having declined invitations from several teams within his draft range.” sources say bailey’s cam has informed interested teams that they believe he is a top three player in the draft but also seeks a clear pathway to stardom perhaps feeling comfortable that a team will trade up to get him at number three or four should he drop so the ace bailey conversations as a whole have been bizarre from start to finish that he is for sure the most polarizing prospect that i can ever remember during the pre-draft process and he has not helped his case with any of these to dive a little bit deeper on this from the sixers perspective here we do have this write up from crossing broad which writes a a lot of the same stuff but does tie it to philadelphia directly and shout out to kyle pagan who writes the mock drafts are mocking eight days before the nba draft and it looks like vj edgecomb is the pick for the sixers at least according to jonathan gavone of espn this spot has been mostly rever reserved for ace bailey but according to gavone bailey initially refused to visit the sixers for a private workout before scheduling one later this week quote edgum takes over the spot from ace bailey in espn’s mockdraft after a positive visited to visit to philadelphia where sources say he made a strong impression in private workouts as well as in meetings with front office and ownership he appears to be the quote leader in the clubhouse currently with bailey losing momentum after refusing to visit initially unsatisfied with his search for a proven pathway to development however bailey is scheduled to work out in philadelphia at the end of the week and we’ll see if he’s able to sway the tides in his favor the feedback from his interviews at the combine in chicago was not all that positive with some teams expressing concern about his lack of preparation and focus nba executives say bailey has been polarizing in internal front office conversations because of questions about his feel for the game and lack of polish creating a wider draft range than initially expected now as far as the actual conversation for him uh and the sixers here did want to bring up this report from sixers adam aronson here who says part of dx’s write up on the sixers trending towards edgecom and away from bailey at number three overall mentioned bailey initially refusing to visit without a quote proven pathway to development a sixers source refuted that saying bailey never refused a visit he’ll be in town this week so a little bit of uh i guess difference in the the optics of how this is exactly being reported here what we do know is what happened last week is jake fischer being very open in reporting that vj edgecom came into philadelphia the full-scale workout that edgecom did go through including a guy like tyrese maxi making the flight from texas back to philadelphia to be at the workout and be at the meeting that he had with the entire organization that it was certainly a let’s see if this guy is a key piece of the future type meeting and edgecomb is fully in that discussion obviously things seem to have gone very well but in that same report that jake fischer did drop he mentioned to this point while he could still h have one in the future there is no scheduled workout with ace bailey well flash forward a little bit that day about an hour later and there is an immediate report from jake fischer that he’s adding to that article saying that ace bailey will be working out with the sixers later this week we have not got any news as far as when that has happened i’m sure it’s probably a behind closed door things and something they’re keeping a bit hush hush that this six organization has certainly operated with a closed door policy particularly in recent years since daryl daryl my has uh took over here that even a guy like jared mccain last year there was no workout for jared mccain and my even goes out after the fact saying we know we knew it was a guy we were targeting we didn’t want other teams to be aware that that was a guy that we were targeting so we’re fine looking from afar watching the tape now a bit of a different situation when you have the third overall pick and have this much control mccain obviously being the 16th pick you just need him to be on the board and last to that point for the third pick you kind of control things here for ace bailey directly i’ve stood here from the beginning and talked about i believe he’s the third best player in this draft that is the selection i would make at third i think a lot of the conversations have been overblown in this and some of the quotes that have popped up such as him saying “i know i’m a good passer but sometimes it’s time for me to get buckets or sometimes it’s time for me to be the guy that shoots the ball.” or comments like “these aren’t bad shots they’re ones that we work on i get that that rubs a lot of people the wrong way it works when you’re playing well and it doesn’t when you’re not if you’re anthony edwards or kobe bryant saying that quote people are all in people love that kind of stuff but if you’re not that caliber of talent it reads a little bit differently there and for ace bailey specifically who is 18 years old has not played a second in the nba to this point i probably would have a little bit of a different tune in the way that i’m going about things here but nonetheless he is a guy that from all accounts is a strong personality a guy that plays with energy on and off the court that he is a guy that makes his impact felt from a personality standpoint when he walks in the room in general i view that largely as a positive and another comparison that i would bring is to bring it back to anthony edwards let’s not forget that after his lone season as georgia there was so much made about should he actually be selected with the number one overall pick there were a lot of similar red flags to what we’re saying with ace bailey with with anthony edwards there and one of those being sort of his personality that he talked a lot in the pre-draft process that if it were up to him he would be a football quarterback right here but he was naturally better at basketball that he doesn’t have a true love for basketball it’s just what he was naturally best at and there was are you actually going to take a guy number one overall who doesn’t have this passion for the game well flash forward just a couple years and anthony edwards is one of the best players in the entire nba so obviously we see how that now now to slant this the other direction if i really want to squint at vj edgecomb i can see a little bit of anthony edwards in his game the way that they fly through the air similar athletic profiles there but nonetheless to circle it back to ace bailey here i think the biggest swing factor has always been how he will adjust to his role i think the best the clear trajectory or this pathway to development that he wants to put out there that would be with the philadelphia 76ers a guy who i think is a perfect example who went about things the right way in his pathway to development was paul george think about paul george when he first came out of fresno state this was a guy that struggled as a shooter was a below 30% three-point shooter in his first season at the nba and was not this guy who was a capable of taking guys off the dribble taking these tough shots in a way that ace bailey already loves to do but what paul george did was that he found a clear role for himself and then added a little bit to his play year in and year out flash forward just a couple seasons in the league all of a sudden we’re talking about paul george as an all-star had a couple more seasons all of a sudden we’re talking about him as one of the best players in the entire world there that’s that was the pathway that paul george took that is a very sim similar pathway to what i could see ace bailey flourishing on if he’s willing to buy in on this sixers team from day one where he’s just taking catch and shoot three-pointers from the corner where he’s just getting active in transition playing highle defense and then as the power balance of this entire team begins to shift as joel embiid ages paul george his contract winds down there is a direction for ace valley to step into a larger role but if he’s not willing to buy into that from day one this kind of is a mute point here that this isn’t something that we can feel confident about and that those are the reasons why you should be bringing guys in for interviews having these type of conversations having them work out and by all accounts from what is going down is things have not gone well on the ace bailey front there there’s enough no noise enough smoke at this point to make me believe this is not all just lip service here this is not just attempting to manipulate the market or or see what the trade offers could be it does feel like at least with some teams there’s legitimate red flags with ace bale and there’s been talking points about this for several months it hasn’t felt as strong to me at least until this week that it has really come on and this coincides with our report that once again that vj edgecom the leader in the clubhouse to be selected with that third overall pick we obviously know how important that this draft pick is for the sixers and i still think that all trades will be on the table we’ve talked about the reports have been talking about the spurs to move up dylan harper is certainly a more sure bet and who he is as a basketball player and the way that he can fit into it there’s also the potential for them to move down ultimately the sixers have to maximize this and the one other thing that i would throw on the table here is a guy that we have not talked too in depthly about i know that ryan dropped a video on the challenge a couple days ago but keniple here and kanipple for obvious reasons a guy that we doubt the athleticism how does it translate here khan had a faster shuttle time than vj edgecom he had a higher standard standing vertical leap than ace bailey dylan harper and uh richardson and edgecomb and a better max vert than cooper flag and ace bailey that’s pretty absurd stuff for a guy who plays really physical can shoot the ball at an incredibly high level will have a case for the best shooter in this class just want to bookmark that a little as we start to really narrow down our search we’re going to be diving things in from every single angle for the coming days until the nba draft going to also talk about some second round target or some undrafted targets to keep our eye on as this draft begins to fully unfold but i i think at this current point in the game i’m ready to accept that ace bailey to the sixers simply may not just happen we still have plenty of time until the draft actually occurs and a lot can change up to this point we obviously don’t even know if the workout has occurred for bailey in philadelphia yet but the smoke has gotten too loud here for me to believe that this is a non-story it does feel that the sixers are not seeing eye to eye with v with uh with ace bailey directly on what his role would be what the fit would be and ultimately that the selection does seem to be trending the other way so let me know what you guys think about all this i still think at the end of the day as much noise as there is about this and depending on how the conversations go when that workout does occur i’m still not out on the ace bailey experience and the number one thing that is uh worrisome to me if you pass on this kid and he becomes the next jason tatum or the next jaylen brown or is tearing up the nba world for the next decade that’s going to suck forever man and that is something that i can’t quite get over myself so i get the red flags are there i get he’s not perfect then again the the interview how he talks and how how he sees the vision for once again this quote unquote pathway to development if they can kind of get a little bit of buy in and paul george is a guy that he obviously respects and i see a lot of similarities in their game and in what their potential pathway would be i still wouldn’t be afraid to pull the trigger on ace bailey there but ultimately we will see what happens to this point do want to hear from you guys in the comments and one more time i want to remind you guys to make sure you are hitting that subscribe button once again 68.5% of you guys watching these videos have not subscribed to sixers digest
