NBA: Is Utah Jazz Guard Ace Bailey In The Wrong?

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss Ace Bailey.

Ace Bailey was selected 5th overall by the Utah Jazz in the 2025 NBA Draft from Rutgers. Bailey declined workouts for several teams pre-draft, including Philadelphia, and reportedly said he wouldn’t report if drafted by some teams.

Recently, Bailey addressed doubts at his introductory press conference in Salt Lake City: said he felt “blessed to be here,” had no hesitation to report, and praised the city’s mountains and team environment.
