3 overall: Ace Bailey, Rutgers2024-25 stats: 17.6 ppg, 7.2 rpg, 1.3 apg, 1.3 bpg, 1.0 spg, 46% FG, 34.6% 3FGBailey is a popular pick for the Sixers with the No.

3 pick and will be involved in a lot of mock drafts for Philadelphia.

He has good measurements, has star written all over him, and can easily rise up over defenders which makes him a tough player to game plan for on the defensive end.

He does have to improve as a shooter, but working with developmental coaches will be helpful for him at the NBA level.In terms of his catch-and-shoot percentages, he shot 36-for-93 (38.7%) on those opportunities from deep.

He shot 29-for-66 (43.9%) on those attempts while he was guarded.

It shows that he has the skill and the want to take and make tough shots.

There is a lot to like about his game, but there are some rough edges he needs to smooth out.Other options: VJ Edgecombe, Tre Johnson, Kon KnueppelRound 2, pick No.

35 overall: Chaz Lanier, Tennessee2024-25 stats: 18.0 ppg, 3.9 rpg, 1.1 apg, 0.9 spg, 43.1% FG, 39.5% 3FGAfter four seasons at North Florida, Lanier transferred to Tennessee for a fifth season of college and shot the lights out.

He took 8.2 triples per game and knocked then down at a nearly 40% clip in the toughest conference in college basketball.

His age will turn a lot of teams off as he will turn 24 in December--which limits his upside a bit--but he might be worth a look as a specialist with a second-round pick.

It isn't like a team is looking for a star in the second round of the draft anyway and if Lanier can bring his shooting prowess to the NBA, it would be a big help to this group.Other options: Johni Broome, Labaron Philon, Cedric CowardThis article originally appeared on Sixers Wire: 2025 Philadelphia 76ers 2 round mock draft: best fits at No.
