Answering another batch of Sixers questions, from draft and free agency decisions to next year's starting backcourt.
But if Philadelphia didn’t land No. 2, sticking at No. 3 or trading down are just as feasible, and the third pick feels somewhat like the turning point of the draft. While the Sixers are reportedly impressed with Baylor guard VJ Edgecombe, they’re split on Harper’s Rutgers teammate Ace Bailey, per Pompey.
Sixers readers also express interest in players with contract options, including Kelly Oubre Jr., Andre Drummond and Eric Gordon.
Sources: The 76ers have engaged with the Spurs about potentially moving up to the No. 2 pick. For now, the Sixers have zeroed in on four NBA Draft prospects with the No. 3 pick, including a private workout last week with VJ Edgecombe and Ace Bailey visiting Philadelphia next week
As Philadelphia moves forward, it will have to decide what the best route is. The Sixers could go with Bailey at No. 3, they can trade down, or they could even trade up. Harper is projected to go No. 2 to the San Antonio Spurs and Philadelphia reportedly has engaged with the Spurs about moving up to No. 2.
