I’m not incredibly high on Harper though on the right team he has a high floor, just that shooting or the lack of it.

Bailey I was out on a long time ago. He will be chosen in an expansion draft some day and put up huge numbers on inefficient volume there.

VJ is a stat stuffer and fits the culture, a Robin ready to play with a Batman. Feels a bit like an Iguodala player which is a strong compliment.

Kon sharing the same initials as Kyle Korver fits and Korver would easily be a lottery pick in the current NBA, plus Kon has more creation skills than Korver.

Fears I don’t see a fit with the Sixers at all.

Tre is the guy who could be a superstar if his game develops to match his physical skills, strongest bet is as a future Sixth Man of the Year.

Iguodala was not a Robin. But that is actually a decent comp for VJ, hadn’t thought about that although he’s not the ball handler Iggy was.


Igoudala wasn't a Robin, he was a Batgirl at best. Actually not even that, he was the 5th? best player on those Warriors title teams.

VJ would be lucky to be that good considering how physically and skillwise superior Iggy was. It's absurd to think he's a Robin.

To be fair, he’d probably be the 3rd best player on most teams. That Warriors team was stacked with HOF talent.
always a jump shot away.

My view on a Robin, and Iggy was post prime by a good bit on a ridiculously talented GSW, is that teams need two Batman level stars, and a pair of Robins or more at a championship level. 1A and 1B are both high end star level players, people calling Scottie Pippen a Robin are vastly underrating how good he was simply because he was paired with MJ.

He has not attended an individual workout with any team throughout the pre-draft cycle, and he turned down multiple offers to do so. Bailey opted not to accept visit offers from the Charlotte Hornets and Washington Wizards, sources said. It has also been speculated that the Brooklyn Nets attempted to have Bailey come in for a workout, but the prospect's representation continues to view him as a top player in this draft class next to Cooper Flagg and Dylan Harper.

Bailey has been on Philadelphia's radar since this past college basketball season started. The Sixers attended many of his and Harper's games in Piscataway, New Jersey, roughly an hour-long trip from the team's practice facility in Camden.

Although it seems like the 18-year-old and his agent slighted the 76ers at the last minute, Bailey is still very much in play to be the third pick in this year's draft, sources said. Philadelphia has yet to make a decision, and executive Daryl Morey has seen it all when it comes to the NBA Draft.

He is not afraid to play these sorts of games with agents and their players, which is why if he ultimately decides Bailey is the team's missing piece, he will have no problem selecting him, regardless of whether Bailey's camp wants him next to Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey.


Despite all the noise surrounding Bailey, some air needs to be cleared about the kid. This is not his doing whatsoever. Coaches and players who have been on the same team as Bailey leading up to the start of his NBA journey have nothing but great things to say about him, and there is no denying his athletic skills on the court.


This forum would explode if we pick Bailey, it would be wild :lol:

True. He's been 3 on the mock drafts all year and Nape Dunkin is a big fan. What more do we need to see?

Precisely





But either Philly takes him, or they trade, but I don't think a ton of confidence has been shown in VJ. I'm shocked they haven't worked out Tre. But Daryl is full on playing the game and Ace and his team's little shenanigans is a minor inconvenience at best

Hear me out Sixers fans!

Image

My soccer team, Flamengo, won against Chelsea, one of the best teams in the world, as a massive underdog ( bet odds were like 5.5 x 1.5). Its like a college basketball team winning against one of the best teams in the nba, the talent level gap is massive. Now, hear me out:

1) Flamengo´s shirt is red. What other team has a red shirt? Rutgers!
2) Flamengo played at Lincoln Financial Field, the house of the Philadelphia Eagles. Who in this draft jumps high, and soars like an eagle? Only Bailey!
3) Flamengo scored 3 goals against Chelsea. Who likes to shoot a lot of 3s? You know it´s Ace!
4) Flamengo scored 3 goals, which is the same number of our pick in the draft next week! :o
5) The final score of the game was 3 x 1. 3+1 = 4, which is the number of Ace´s shirt! :o That´s crazy, ngl!

You guys may be wondering, what all this coincidences means? It means, without a doubt, that we will draft Ace Bailey in the draft, it´s already decided by destiny, as it was writen in the Book of Ace! :lol:

I knew it all along it was Ace! 8-)

Fate is inexorable!

Wizards aggressively trying to move up for Fears! He won't be available at #6 so make them pay up Daryl!!

We can then pick Ace at #6 as the master plan is revealed!!!
