Ace Bailey goes #5 overall by the Utah Jazz in the 2025 NBA Draft!

>> THE PICK IS IN. HERE’S COMMISSIONER SILVER. >> WITH THE FIFTH PICK IN THE 2020 NBA DRAFT, THE UTAH JAZZ SELECT ARIA’S ACE BAILEY FROM RUTGERS UNIVERSITY. >> YEAH, THE QUESTION WITH ACE BAILEY WAS NEVER ABOUT HIS TALENT. BUT SIMPLY, WHERE WOULD THE BIG TEN ALL-FRESHMAN SELECTION END UP? AND NOW WE KNOW THE UTAH JAZZ. BOTH OF HIS PARENTS, RICHARD AND ROMIKA, THEY BOTH PLAYED. AND HIS FAVORITE PLAYER, KEVIN DURANT, SAYS THAT BAILEY IS A PURE, PURE TALENT. CADE ADDED THAT BEING ABLE TO SHOOT THE BALL WITH THE TYPE OF TOUCH THAT BAILEY HAS, IT’S INSANE IS THE WAY THAT HE PUT IT. SCORING IS REALLY THIS YOUNG MAN’S THING. HE’S GIFTED IN ISOLATION. HE’S CONFIDENT WHEN HE TAKES IT AS HE ENJOYS THIS MOMENT WITH HIS FAMILY, AND NOW HE IS A MEMBER OF THAT NBA BROTHERHOOD. >> YEAH. BEYOND THE MEASURABLES, HE’S GOT A SEVEN FOOT WINGSPAN. HE’S ABOUT SIX EIGHT. BUT HE’S JUST A BIG TIME SHOT MAKER. HE MAKES TOUGH SHOTS AND THEY’RE CONTESTED SHOTS. HE CAN MAKE TURNAROUND JUMPERS WITH A HAND IN HIS FACE.

  1. Don't know what ace agent was thinking lol would've been way better in philly than cold ass Utah but sure i guess 🤷‍♂️

  2. Congratulations you got a ⭐️
    2 top 10 picks but didn't mean to March Madness. It sure does suck some Jazz Bear balls isn't it

  3. Ace Bailey is an Utah Jazz and the second Rutgers player drafted so far. He can ball mane!!!🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀

  4. It would be hilarious if he announces he'll play out his rookie deal , turn down an extension and become a free agent asap

  5. For anyone that doesn’t understand how crazy this is. He said he did not want to go to Philly, Charlotte or Utah.

    The first two skipped him then Utah took him. Hahaha. He looked so sad. I’m guessing he’ll be traded?
