Utah Jazz Select Ace Bailey, Pick 5

[AlaskanAssassin]

We've really got young players across a variety of positions now.

this was posted earlier on Jazzfanz - apologies to whoever posted it that I can't remember. If you don't like Bailey hang your hat on this stat.

The talent has to be overwhelming for me to pick someone who was clear he did not want to be here. I would have taken Tre.

Unless the player declares publicly that they don't want to play here, it's all just speculation.

So who's shot attempts are going to drop next year so that Ace get put up 18 attempts per game?

Thrilled with this pick now. Yeah, he could bust I guess, but the Jazz needed to swing for the fences, and he's a hell of a swing.

If he does bust I won't regret it because that's the nature of these types of picks. Hopefully it's not his attitude that will come out. That said, I like his swagger.

There is no speculation about where he wanted to go.

At least Bailey didn't do this

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.

Did you mean to say "one of the worst passing front courts in the league for years to come"?

I'm not getting the vibe he was miserable at all. Dude was all smiles and laughing and hugging when his name got called. He looked pretty happy right before this screenshot was taken.

I didn’t get the vibe he was upset. Just happy and overwhelmed that he actually got picked. Could be wrong.

Sexton, Collins and Clarkson.

I was so nervous we’d pick Kon then the hornets took him and this huge weight was lifted. I knew we had ace or tre then Silver said some first name I’d never heard before and was confused for a 10th of a second before the next sound out of his mouth was Ace. So happy. We’ve got our long awaited potential superstar. For all the crazies I said potential so don’t get nuts. Lol

Does this pick motivate Cody? Does it matter?

I knew it! Damn you Spurs.

Yep, CMB seemed like “****” in a LFG vibe
