Ace Bailey ROY watch

Right now Ace plays much better when there's an actual offensive framework and other scorers around him. He's nowhere near ready for a role where we depend on him to create shots.
 
I'm very encouraged by Ace thus far. He is both confident and coachable, and it feels like his decission making is improving fast. Combine those with his shooting (quick trigger and form), size, athleticism and intangibles and I think he is gonna be a very very good player.

Whether he actually turns into a legit superstar one day is anyones guess and requires a lot pieces to fall in place.... but I think if he stays on the track he is I would bet on him becoming at least an all-star level player in his prime.

I was a fan of his art draft time and liked the pick.
He has been better than I expected in the must surprising ways.
He plays the right way. His attitude is a joy.

Feel pretty confident on him ending top 5, really solid class so far. Needs a pretty big ramp up to hope to catch Kon and Flagg (especially Flaggs hype), but super high on him. We've gone from his character being my biggest red flag to a huge green flag now that he's distanced from Omar

I've watched a bit of Memphis this season Coward can play.
