Ex- Rutgers star Ace Bailey risks losing millions of dollars with his camp’s latest NBA Draft strategy, one analyst says. With speculation brewing that Bailey’s agent, Omar Cooper, is trying to steer Bailey to the Brooklyn Nets, who own the No. 8 pick in Wednesday’s NBA Draft, ESPN’s Fran Fraschilla posted:

A lot of the NBA world has had something to say about Rutgers star Ace Bailey and his pre-draft strategy. Most view him as the No. 3 prospect behind Duke phenom Cooper Flagg and Rutgers teammate Dylan Harper, but he has slid on most draft boards.

This week, the Philadelphia 76ers were ready to welcome Ace Bailey to the City of Brotherly Love. Having the Rutgers star pay them a visit would’ve been a unique opportunity for the Sixers, considering the incoming rookie has yet to visit any NBA teams ahead of the 2025 NBA Draft.
