He play like Melo
We got a candidate yeahhhh roty
He looks like what Jabbari should be.
cant believe 4 other teams passed on him lmaooo
I’m more surprised with his decision making and his own play making, didn’t know he had that in his game rn.
Jazz just found their next star
My bad Ace I wasn’t familiar with your game !

Ace might become one of my favorite players his bag is too nice 🔥
Steal of the draft?
that middy is lethal in todays nba
boring ass basketball
I’ve seen enough this kid is special.closest I’ve seen to Mcgrady
Reggie miller vibes
I wasn’t a fan before now I am. Ace is the real deal, this man can ball, it’s only a few players that can come into the league and play so comfortable, the ball comes to him.
Surrreee yeah he shot that 3 after stealing the ball from KD….that was a bad shot selection but that man was very confident that it was going in only a few can do that like Steph curry and he has that. I think we got a new star.
I like him already
Damn Mavs should've got him wtf
KD don't wanna play pick n pop he expecting his stretch to cut lol
Pre season means nothing. Might be good but real games are different
REPENT AND BE READY GOD BLESS
plays like a young KD damn
His offensive feel for the game and skills ARE LIGHT YEAR AHEAD OF COOPER FLAGG's. In Flagg's defense though? His NATURAL ABILITY ON DEFENSE (clears) Bailey. Cooper still wins ROTY. A lottery pick went to a playoff team.
He got such a smooth composed game for a rookie
NEW FACE 😶🌫️🔥
Sixers🤦♂️
Good game his jumper looks a lot smoother he’s been putting in the work but the defense is going to be way tighter in the regular season gotta keep working hard if he wants to be a star in the league
Dude already look better than your favorite player 😬💯🫡
👀
lol the change up on everyone after just his first game.
so what is durant doing in that final moment.
Destroyed KD who tried to lil boy him. I aint listening to KD as a young player, the guy tarnished his legacy
KD DISCIPLE👌👌👌
Since day 1 I said he’s going to be better than cooper flag ..!!!
Kid reminds me of Melo hard body soft touch
He top tier🤝
Sengun with 11pts, 11asst, and 5 boards at the beginning of the 3rd… as a pf/c 😅
Spurs should’ve got him 😢
His first game look like a my player
THE MAVERICKS & THE SPURS GONNA REGRET PASSING ON ACE BAILEY ..
Good for the Jazz jumping on this opportunity to draft Ace Bailey
Utah got one.
That spin shot was a vet move damn 😂 he gone be a buck
He plays like tmac.
This guy got some skills
ROY
ugh my poor Sixers. Did it again….
