Somewhere between four and seven games remain before we can officially flip the league calendar over to this month’s draft and next month’s Summer League. For Philadelphia 76ers supporters, a fresh start can’t come soon enough. But first, let’s enjoy what should hopefully be an entertaining NBA Finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers.

We’ve officially entered draft month! We’ve had draft profiles go out just about every day over the past couple weeks and we’re going to keep them coming. (Check out Will Rucker’s breakdown of Duke’s Kon Knueppel today.) Stay tuned for some mock drafts and other content as well. As far as the national opinion on what the Sixers might do at pick No. 3, it seems to be all over the place.

With Indiana defeating New York, 125-108, in Saturday’s Game 6, this year’s NBA Finals matchup is now set between the Pacers and the Oklahoma City Thunder, who dispatched Minnesota in a gentleman’s sweep.

Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty Images Before the 2025 NBA Draft, we’ll take an in-depth look at different prospects here at Liberty Ballers and try to figure out which players would be the best fit for the Sixers at Nos. 3 and 35. Next up in this series is Arizona’s Carter Bryant. Carter Bryant was a five-star recruit and considered a top-30 high school player by major outlets. When he went to Arizona, there was no guarantee he’d be a one-and-done.

Photo by Melissa Tamez/NBAE via Getty Images With the Sixers having the No. 3 overall pick, Daryl Morey has the optionality Sam Hinkie once dreamed of. Does he trade back and recoup more draft capital? Does he attempt to trade up for No. 2? Does he canvass the league for a young star to trade for? Or does he simply take a player? I’m honestly just as curious as the rest of you, but I did my best to answer your most pressing questions. The Brooklyn Nets seem like the ideal trade partner.

Thank goodness!In the meantime, let’s talk more about what the Sixers could do at No. 3. Who has their “Vontae Mack No Matter What” and who is open to a trade down? Do you have any guys in mind at No. 35 or in the event of a trade back? My opinions have changed a bunch. I’m sure yours have too! Let me know in the comments.

Photo by Scott Taetsch/Getty Images In a year where nearly everything went wrong for the Sixers, Paul George’s massively underwhelming debut season was near the top of the list. With frequent cold shooting plus injury issues that he was allowed to play through for a ridiculously long time, he never came close to maintaining the kind of play he’s capable of. It understandably drew frustration from fans... including some amazing encounters when George was out in Philadelphia.

Photo by Jared C. Tilton/Getty Images The Sixers getting the No. 3 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft feels appropriate. Getting No. 1 or No. 2 would’ve required too much luck. Falling out of the top six and losing the pick would’ve been too depressing. This is a solid middle ground. It’s also appropriate because Philly sports fans get to do their favorite thing: argue (complimentary (we’re very good at it)). What will the Sixers do with the third overall pick? Some folks love Ace Bailey. Some folks ...

Regardless of whether Paul George is able to bounce back from a disappointing first season, the health status of Joel Embiid will be the most important factor to the team’s success. Tied down to the big fella through 2029, the franchise is in a lot of trouble if his oft-injured left knee doesn’t get better.
