Utah Jazz Select Ace Bailey, Pick 5

[Saint Cy of JFC]

We are now the team for people who like hoopers

 

[Shad]

Someone start spamming highlights for all the doubters!

 

[George W]

This was just such a major major major heist. Clearly the 3rd best talent in the draft, and Ainge masterclass made him drop to 5th. Un****ingbelievable.

Just the safe common sense pick.

Idk he looks kind of bummed. He was super giddy before the draft and now he looks like a deflated balloon

Ace has limitless potential, but he is by no means a safe pick

Yeah but safer than the other picks available is what I meant. Trey was close but I was never big on Fears.

I don't think he understands just how much this team loves gunner ball. He's going to get to chuck shots all day long without even thinking about passing or defending.

This makes me want to keep Lauri and Kessler. Ace/Lauri/Kessler can be one of the best front courts in the league for years to come.

I love that we are shooting for the high upside of a big, versatile, skilled wing. I disagree with the people who say he's a safe pick. He's not, but as long as he works hard on his game and is determined to get better, he can be a star in this league.
