The first two picks in the NBA draft are easy enough to project, with the Dallas Mavericks in line to select Cooper Flagg at No. 1 overall and Dylan Harper expected to be the No. 2 pick for the San Antonio Spurs.

The Philadelphia 76ers are in the process of doing their due diligence ahead of the 2025 NBA draft. They hold the No. 3 pick in the draft and will be looking to add a talented, young piece to a roster in need of an injection of youth at this stage of their championship quest.

Rutgers forward Ace Bailey and Baylor swingman V.J. Edgecombe are considered the top two candidates to be taken third, with Texas shooting guard Tre Johnson looming. Will Philadelphia want to hold on to that selection, with the franchise apparently already excited about two incumbent backcourt talents, Maxey and shooting guard Jared McCain?
