I love a prospect that "guaranteed to reach his ceiling."

Obviously there are no guarantees. But there are levels.

The Jazz don't want Ace to be a nice role player. He was drafted as a future building block, and hopefully a star. The trouble is, right now there are many guys drafted both before and after him who fit that description a lot better.

Of course he may get there. He's talented, has a good head on his shoulders and he tries, but so far he's been a much worse shooter than advertised. That's a problem, as he can't get to the basket either. Needs to work super hard in the offseason.

Ace does seem like the quintessential measurements pick. Long, athletic, I like his shot personally. What’s odd is he’s not at all showing the warts the pundits claimed. But he’s not as good as the guys you mentioned rn. I do like what I see though.

His shot looks good, but in his last five games, he's 7/25 (28%) from the perimeter, and most of those have been pretty open spot-up shots.

It's not that unusual for a rookie's shot to come and go, but jump shooting was supposed to be Ace's biggest strength.

A 52.5 TS% just isn't great, no matter how you look at it.

It's funny how you appear to want to be taken seriously. I mean, all you do is over-react. Flagg is "mid", right? You'd seen enough to know without a doubt, right?

We haven't seen enough of Ace. This is ****ing obvious.

Be less of a hyper-reactive ninny, eh? Consider this a New Year's resolution, eh?

In no way, shape or form was Ace the BPA at #5.

Tre, Fears, CMB, Coward and (it's painful for me to say this) even Queen are obviously better basketball players and more useful for their teams.

Ace is another talented, super raw project with no guarantees of reaching his ceiling.
