Ace Bailey, who was drafted No. 5 overall by the Utah Jazz, expressed excitement about joining the team and never considered holding out or demanding a trade. His pre-draft process faced scrutiny due to his refusal to workout for interested teams. Jazz president Austin Ainge is optimistic about Bailey and fellow draftees Walter Clayton Jr. and John Tonje, highlighting their potential and multi-dimensional skills. Ainge's confidence is rooted in their ability to contribute on both defense and offense, with Bailey previously showcasing impressive scoring abilities in college.
I'm just blessed to be in the position I am. I never thought about holding out or forcing a trade after being drafted.
These are guys we targeted before the draft with high potential and high character, and we couldn't be more excited.
