The Philadelphia 76ers head into the opening night of the NBA draft with a variety of options. Rutgers wing Ace Bailey — perhaps against his wishes — is one of their options to select with the No. 3 pick Wednesday at the Barclays Center.

On Tuesday, Bailey was asked by reporters how he was tuning out the noise, and what he thought about his now highly-publicized situation. "I'm just working on basketball, that's all I'm focused on so far," Bailey said. Bailey was then asked if he thought people had the wrong perception of him after his decision to not attend pre-draft workouts.

Rutgers star Ace Bailey remains a mystery heading into the 2025 NBA Draft, as he has refused to do public workouts for teams.
