Harper and Bailey walked into each other well before the start of the draft. Upon seeing each other, the former Rutgers point guard called out Bailey with a smile and dapped him up, telling him how much he loves his outfit.

Both Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey are pegged to be taken early in the draft. Harper, who is 19 years old, is believed to be the No. 2 pick overall, which would make him teammates with Victor Wembanayam playing for the San Antonio Spurs. Meanwhile, it's not entirely clear where Bailey will go, as he's had an unorthodox approach to the draft process.
While Harper has participated in the combine and private workouts with teams, Bailey opted not to work out for a single team in the league. He was at one point scheduled for a private workout with the Philadelphia 76ers, but chose to cancel it instead.
