A popular option for the Sixers has been Rutgers star Ace Bailey, as he is widely regarded as the third-best prospect in this draft behind Duke phenom Cooper Flagg and teammate at Rutgers, Dylan Harper. Therefore, it would make sense for Philadelphia to select Bailey.

Here is a 2 round mock draft for the Philadelphia 76ers for 2025 with the best fits at both the No. 3 and 35 picks.

On Monday, NBA draft insiders Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo reported "some teams" believe the 76ers could try to package the No. 3 pick with Paul George to acquire another star to join the Joel Embiid-Tyrese Maxey core. Givony and Woo name Kevin Durant and Lauri Markkanen as two potential targets should that be the direction Philly chooses.
