Billy King: Ace Bailey could become a very good player, but I don’t know if it’s in Joel and Paul’s window

Former Philadelphia 76ers GM Billy King believes that the front office has an important decision to make about drafting Ace Bailey 3rd overall or possibly trading the pick (averaged 17.6 PPG/7.2 RPG/1.3 APG/1.0 SPG/1.3 BPG/46.0% FG/51.1% 2-PT/34.6% 3-PT/69.2% FT/33.3 MPG in 30 games played at Rutgers last season).

(via 94WIP):

“I think he has a chance to be a very good player. I don’t know if it’ll be in the window of Joel Embiid and Paul George. So that’s where if you’re sitting there as an organization, ‘Do you draft him because he’s the best player for you for the now and the future? Or do you move him to get something to try to win with Joel in this window?’”
