Back in June, the decision for the Philadelphia 76ers in the NBA draft came down to VJ Edgecombe or Ace Bailey. The Sixers held the No. 3 pick in the draft and with Cooper Flagg and Dylan Harper off the board, the next best prospects for the Sixers were Edgecombe and Bailey.

Of course, Philadelphia chose Edgecombe and he has been terrific for Philadelphia in his rookie season. He's averaging 15. 7 points, 5.

7 rebounds, and 4. 0 assists for a Sixers team that has hopes of contending in the Eastern Conference. Bailey went No.

5 to the Utah Jazz and is having a solid rookie season of his own averaging 13. 0 points, 4. 1 rebounds, and shooting 35.
