What is happening with Ace Bailey
A star is rising in Salt Lake City as Ace Bailey sparks excitement for the Utah Jazz faithful. Is Bailey the next All-Star in the making? David Locke highlights Bailey’s remarkable stretch—95 points over three games, efficient three-point shooting, and a growing all-around game against NBA-caliber defenders. Statistical comparisons put Bailey in elite company with the likes of Steph Curry, Jason Tatum, and Brandon Miller, raising the question: how high is his ceiling?
The discussion zeroes in on Bailey’s rapid development, from adjusting his shot selection to improving free-throw attempts and rebounding. Insights into his partnership with assistant coach Chad Forcier underscore his coachability and the Jazz’s player development edge. Plus, [David Locke] explores how Bailey’s evolving skillset could mesh with Keyonte George, Jaren Jackson, and Lauri Markkanen in next season’s offense. Jazz fans, get ready—Ace Bailey’s ascent could be the key to Utah’s next breakthrough.

Next year is going to rock so hard!
I am worried. They are not playing any defense. Toronto Scored 143 points and shot 61% from 2 and 54% from 3. I worry that when next year starts, there will be no idea of how to play on the other side of the floor. As well as how to compete against teams that want to win. I think we are all getting ahead of ourselves with what next year is going to bring. Yes, Some of the young guys are growing offensively but there are two ends of the court.
Once George, Jackson, and LM are back healthy next year, Ace will be the 3rd option on the team. This isn't a fit for Ace next year. Trade him.
(Whispers) Add in AJ or Darius Acuff and the only question is whether the Jazz can stop anyone.
Does Ace emerging as a starting caliber player change the way the Jazz will approach the draft? If he can start at the two does it mean selecting a small point guard like Acuff, Philon, or Flemings less risky?
Outside the top 3 that is. Those are still a lock who ever gets them.
What stands out most about Ace Bailey’s statistical progress lately?
Im not that much hyped Ace. I hope but we still play 2nd team and we still lose. They dont need to defence nobody really. They dont care our tankinkg. But yes i belive few years (maybe next) Ace can be legit player in CONTERDER team. Otherwise it dont matter.
Can Ace Bailey do what he's doing when playing alongside Lauri, Keyonte and JJJ though? I don't think so as of right now. I'm actually wondering if the Jazz have too much offensive talent and need to trade one? There's only one ball to go around
I'm not trading Ace. He's the future of the franchise
I hope you feel better dude. Neck pain sucks even when it is short term
told you SO
I never understood why the Jazz hired Dave again.
What's crazy is that at 6'8 with hella long arms, who can guard him? Jamal Murray? No. Ant? Maybe. SGA? Maybe. Austin Reeves? Probably not. HE IS "AMAZING ACE" !!!. sing it with me.
