What’s Ace Bailey’s ceiling as a player? 🤔
He's so nice
Just wait until he gains 5-15 lbs of muscle, guy is ELITE
My dick fell off
needed this vid
I have a dream AJ , Ace , Lauren , Jarren , Walker jazz finna be scary
if utah gets darren peterson this offense is gonna be craaaaaaazy
legit superstar potential
The noticeable improvement in just one season is crazy. Jazz assistant coach Chad Forsier has worked magic with Ace. Look at how stable and balanced he is getting on his shots now as opposed to earlier in the season. Biggest thing he's worked on and biggest factor to his improved play of late. Defense is also massively improved. And despite all the bad media coming out of college, his teammates all love him. Watching them celebrate him from the bench, it's clear the vets want to be a part of this team with him
Utah's development staff has been ELITE in molding Ace Bailey to the player he's evolved to from his days at Rutgers. glad he escaped the sabotage and dirty work of Omar Cooper his former agent, Ace has been a stud and a great fit for Utah's core with the breakout of Keyonte George as well.
His shooting form has improved a ton in my opinion
Analytics are dumb because basketball is a simple game at its core people forget that.
Assist don’t matter in college for a wing scorer look at Rutgers roster too
BIG FAN OF BAILEYS GAME🔥🔥HE IS A LOT BETTER THAN PEOPLE REALIZE BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE JUST DONT SEE IT BECAUSE HE IS ON THE JAZZ💯💔
My eyes are on him he as the talent gor sure…
It seems like like Ace is on the Tatum/PG/Kawhi trajectory, where he won’t necessarily be the main creator in his first years, but will slowly ramp up after he becomes a reliable defender. I’m excited to see what Ace can become.
Ace is def a cornerstone for the org
I remember when ' analyst' were saying he is more NBA ready than Wemby.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
cool
His reputation got smeared by basketball media during the draft period, but that was all fault of his agent/management. So glad he’s proving the naysayers wrong!
I have always loved his movement skills and fluidity. He is what cam reddish should have been…but bigger.
To me he's like mpj if he didn't get the back injuries with more iq and less pull up in yo face drill a three way
tmac at -30%
Jazz fan here. Thanks for the video!
Great video. I’m even more bullish on his ceiling. I think he’ll become much more than a fringe all star at his peak.
So we are turning every single player into a three point merchant?
Tbh the jazz is great at developing players. Its time we have a championship
Next year is gonna be so awesome
Hornets should have drafted him
the young coaches are taking over the NBA, versus recycled coaches
Ace is my guy, he's taking Utah to new heights
I see a lot of post knee injury, Paul George in Ace Bailey post knee injury Paul George relied much less on getting to the hoop and more on his three-point shooting in mid range game. Both are long athletic players who can be considered two-way players.
Reminds me a bit of GG Jackson’s improvement since his rookie season, except this is all happening in less than 80 games
ANYBODY but the magic huh??
I'd still take VJ over Ace with the information I know now..what about u guys? drop ur take.
0:35 no that's not fair, the mistake anti-analytics people make isn't the ignoring numbers, it's valuing the ability to MAKE difficult shots over the ability to GENERATE good shots. Bailey coule make difficult jumpers he had "a bag" but could he get his teammates GOOD shots with the way he plays? That was the big question mark. Even most analytics people will tell u that numbers cant tell u everything.
♠️ The Ace of Spades ♠️
he’s not as tall as giannis or KD, but those big long strides when he’s attacking are so reminiscent of those guys.
also, all of his rebounds look cool. they don’t just fall to him, he’s often jumping higher than other dudes.
[9:08 is his best play of the season]
Jaden McDaniels type player
Can you make a video about the Hawks? Mid season rebuild essentially lead by potential all NBA Jalen Johnson winning 16 of their last 19 games, it’s a pretty wild story
My favorite part of Bailey's game is his rebounding (especially offensive). He has a really good feel for positioning and isn't afraid to chase down a ball the defense should have had easily.
As an ace skeptic he is traking exactly as I expected. His fans would say things about him that were just untrue like him being 6"10 who could be a lead creator. He was always going be be more of a high value role player which he is now trending towards. I comped his best case scenario to a jaden mcdaniels with a more sure shot, seems like he is headed to that but there was a very real chance that he ended up being Denzell Valentine.
This was a great breakdown honestly. I’m subscribing, it was well thought out. You picked up on everything I have seen as someone who has watched every Ace game. It was extremely fair and constructive. I feel based on this that I could trust your evaluation of players I haven’t been able to watch as closely. Good work.
His jumper is cleaaaaaaaaan
