US Edition2025 NBA Mock Draft: Tre Johnson Moves up, Ace Bailey Plummets in Latest Projections
- The 2025 NBA Draft is scheduled for June 25, with Ace Bailey, an 18-year-old Rutgers small forward, among the top prospects.
- Bailey canceled all public workouts, including a last-minute cancellation with the Philadelphia 76ers, raising questions among NBA front offices about his professionalism.
- Despite averaging 17.6 points and shooting 36.7% from three, Bailey is labeled as immature and poorly prepared in combine interviews, while teammate Dylan Harper downplays concerns about Bailey's red flags.
- Bailey stated in a June 24 New York media availability, "I'm just working on basketball, that's all I'm focused on," and analyst Jonathan Givony noted Bailey could lose $10 to $15 million if he falls out of the top five picks.
- Bailey's unconventional draft strategy suggests he may have an early assurance from a team, but it could cause him to slip further in the draft and impact his initial contract earnings.
