This young man is facing a narrow path ahead.

At just 18 years old, Es-Bailey from Rutgers University stands about 2.02 meters tall with a wingspan of approximately 2.15 meters. He was originally a top three candidate in this year's draft, but he has fallen to the sixth pick in the latest ESPN mock draft, where he is selected by the Wizards.

The reason is simple,Bailey has been acting like a diva to create an air of mystery; he is currently the only American rookie who has not tried out for any team.Even the projected number one pick, Flagg, had to obediently visit the Mavericks and meet with the team's management and coaches.

What’s even more infuriating is thatdespite having scheduled a tryout, Philadelphia had arranged flights, hotels, dinners, and everything else, but Bailey suddenly bailed on them.According to Sixers reporter Neubeck, even by past standards of odd behavior, Bailey's actions are quite rare.

It's important to remember that Philadelphia holds this year's second overall pick, so they cannot tolerate a rookie playing games with them, which is why ESPN has dropped him from the top three picks as mentioned above.

Domestic media commentators noted that Bailey's sudden cancellation of the Philadelphia tryout suggests either that he has received a promise from another team or that his agent is causing chaos.

Moreover, Bailey has no plans to meet with any teams before the draft; he and his team firmly believe he is one of the best players in this rookie class, showing immense confidence—perhaps he is a big fan of Liang Jingru's "Courage." This guy's NBA future is hard to predict, but he is definitely a troublesome wild card.

After being toyed with by Bailey, reporter Siegel revealedthat Philadelphia plans to offer the second pick and multiple first-round picks to trade up for the Spurs' second overall pick, aiming to select the promising dual-threat guard, Dylan Harper.

Not just Philadelphia, many other teams also want the Spurs' second pick, but so far, there are no clear signs that the Spurs are looking to trade it. With an All-Star guard like Fox and the Rookie of the Year, Castle, in their roster, the Spurs actually don’t need Harper unless they have another target in mind.
