Bailey has been long tabbed to be selected with the third overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, but if he slips down a bit, the Wizards would be happy to select him with the sixth overall pick. Fischer points out that Washington meets Bailey's requirements as a team that could offer "a healthy shot profile and on-ball creation opportunities." Bailey, who played for Rutgers in the 2024-25 college season, averaged 17.6 points, 7.2 boards, 1.3 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.0 steals over 30 games.
