Sixers DRAFT VJ Edgecombe With The 3rd Pick… & Ace Bailey Goes To UTAH!!! (LIVE REACTION)

the question is will they draft the win now piece in vj edgecomb or will they say screw it and take ace bailey regardless at number three and call his agents bluff adam silver making his way out to the podium the sixers at number three the sixers select vj edgecomb at number three yes sir vj edgecom has been selected by the 76ers at number three in the 2025 nba draft we’ll talk about vj here in just a second but it is official question is is the sixers franchise going to call it a night will they trade back up into the first round there’s a lot to keep our eyes on but it is finally official vj edgecomb 6’4 guard out of baylor will be making his way from the bahamas to philadelphia it will be interesting to see where ace goes here in the next 10 to 20 minutes i believe it’ll be washington i don’t know why ace bailey wanted to force his way to washington to try to be a number one option on a team that hasn’t won anything in a very long time he did everything in his power essentially to not come to philadelphia and i think his agency his representation stirred him up and you know just sent him the wrong direction guided him the wrong way but it is what it is it’s in the past i hope ace doesn’t become a superstar now but vj edgecom is the guy at number three i’m going to give you my instant analysis and reactions right now on vj edgecomb he averaged 15 points a game 5.6 rebounds 3.2 assists he shot 43.6% from the field 34% from three 78% from the free throw line and vj edgecomb couple extra things to know about vj edgecomb so again he’s from the bahamas he played on the bohemian national team the main strengths of his game he’s probably the best athlete in this draft he’s a pretty solid spot of three-point shooter although he didn’t have a ton of volume in his one year at baylor he’s a decent movement shooter as well again didn’t have as much volume as i would like but i’m sure that will continue to develop solid downhill driver little bit of a tough finisher around the rim uh but can definitely improve his on ball defense is excellent he is uh an absolute swiss army knife i think he’s a guy who can impact you know winning defensively at the next level i think he can do that on day one and he’s a pretty decent rebounder for his size as well but 6’4 6’5 guard he’s got a 67 wingspan not the longest arms by any means he’s not a primary creator he’s not even really a secondary creator limited shot creation limited at rim finishing ability as of right now and he doesn’t really have a pull-up game so really i feel like his role is as a 3 and d guy day one with this sixers team and he talked about that himself saying that yo that’s going to be my way to fit in he talked about his defensive mindset about nick nurse and he was the only guy that the sixers had in for a workout he impressed them a lot and ace bailey had a workout scheduled never ended up actually going through with it and he canled the workout and i guess has a guarantee uh couple things that concern me about vj edgecomb once again not a good wingspan for a 6’4 guard you know you would want him to either be maybe like 66 67 or have like a 69 wingspan but hopefully his mentality the way that he has answered questions all of his maturity and really just his high motor like he’s a dog he’s a competitor and he is a guy again that will impact the box score in different ways he will impact winning not always by putting up the best numbers but he will be able to impact the game um you know beyond where you know where you actually watch the game and see what he’s able to do had a couple cold stretches last year uh like i said did not shoot that well off the pullup but that’s not his game that’s not his game couple of his draft comps were drew holidayiday victor oladipo i personally don’t see that right off the bat i think he’s got to develop his handle a lot more but based on his work ethic and daryl my has drafted guys that you know he’s really liked in terms of work ethic tyrese maxi jared mccain and he’s hit on those picks because those guys are willing to get in the gym and get better and improve and uh vj had a couple nice games in the tournament and now he is in philadelphia and he will need to develop more at the next level but the biggest question and we’ll end it off with this as we look back in a couple years is should the sixers have traded back from number three because you know cooper flag and dylan harper are the onetw combo right that is probably tier one in this draft but can vj edgecomb ceiling ever get to the point where he’s going to be a four five six time all-star can he be that guy can he be a a you know first second third option on a winning team or is he just going to be that supercharged specialist type of role player like an alex caruso he reminds me a lot of caruso in many ways and you want to have a guy like that on your team i mean shoot alex caruso just helped the thunder win a championship but the question is do you draft a guy like that at number three or should you have tried to trade back collect a couple more draft picks and add on more players unfortunately the sixers fell in the most controversial slot in the draft and they didn’t want to call ace bailey’s bluff and they believe in vj edgecomb so the question that we’ll look back on again is is he going to be that guy will he impact winning to that degree or is his floor just very high and he’ll be a solid role player for a long time i still think there’s a bit of a wonky fit with the guard room like i said quinton grimes does a lot of similar things daryl my pretty much confirmed that grimes is going to be resigned you have jared mccain coming off an injury tyrese maxi and i don’t think the sixers can always roll with a three-gard lineup matter of fact i don’t see any way that vj plays the three as a 6’4 6’5 guard so that is my overall take on vj edgecomb daryl my goes with the win now mentality all right here’s utah this is where it gets interesting man this is where it gets interesting wow wow they took ace oh my gosh it it it’s coming true exactly what i said danny a took ace bailey danny a took ace bailey i told y’all danny a had the balls he wasn’t willing to budge he didn’t give a damn oh my gosh oh please don’t let this be another folultz tatum thing and i’m not comparing ace bailey to jason tatum by the way what i’m saying is i hope that danny a did not pull another fast one over on the sixers yo y’all got to see this picture man hold on i’m sorry [Music] oh my it’s like it’s like the picture when you graduate from college and you hate your teacher your professor and you got to shake their hand anyway
