Rutgers star Ace Bailey is one target in mind for teams looking to make an aggressive trade up in the first round of the 2025 NBA draft, according to ESPN's Jonathan Givony.

The Rutgers Scarlet Knights will have two of their players selected early in the 2025 NBA Draft, but while Dylan Harper is almost guaranteed to be chosen inside the first two picks the other freshman star from his team has seen significant dissent recently in mock drafts.

Despite his refusal to visit with the Sixers, they have not ruled out selecting Bailey, per Givony, who noted that president of basketball operations Daryl Morey has selected several players in the past without a private workout, including star guards Tyrese Maxey and Jared McCain.
