Ace Bailey refused to meet with any NBA teams pre-draft

[BigJay]

He was the projected number three pick in almost all mocks dating back to last summer but he’s seen his stock fall because of this

Now he’s projected between 7-10

Reports are his team wants him to go to a rebuilding team, whatever the hell that means. Most of the teams in the lottery are rebuilding and pretty far from contention, with the exception of a couple.

Sounds like another Kawhi Leonard - kid already getting bad advice from people whispering in his ear

Ace Bailey shrugs off questions about NBA draft process

I'd rather get ace flagg in a year or two

Not sure what this sentence means

 

[Archie]

maybe it would help if you knew Ace Flagg

Never draft that loser

 

[keithrichard]

Tough player.

I don't understand how stupid these players can be. Why would you pull a Shedeur Sanders and not show up for teams to see what they are getting and answer questions?

They only reason could be, they think his stock will drop the more NBA teams see of him. Why else would you not show up?

This kid is 18 and is getting some really bad advice. Who's his agent? His dad?
He probably won't but I hope he drops way down in the draft. That will costs him several million and hopefully teach him a lesson.

Kid must not be that good
Rutgers was garbage

Two anticipated first round picks from Rutgers and they had a losing record (15-17) last year.
Makes you wonder.

"When further questioned about canceling with the 76ers, Bailey said, "I'm focused on basketball."

--> If he's focused on basketball, he shouldn't mind which team he will land. This kid needs a better agent.

 

[jjgold]

I think Harper has way more potential

 

[BigJay]

Who's his agent?

Kid and his team now saying Utah was not one of his preferred destinations

What a loser

Well, was hoping he would slide farther down the list with his approach pre-draft.
He sounds like he's going to put forth an effort there, according to the article. I guess we'll see.

Says he wanted to go 6, 7 or 8 to the Nets, Wizards or Pelicans

They say he lost $10M in the draft with the way it was managed (not sure I'd agree with a $10M drop going from #3 to #5 in the draft but.....).

Now his mgmt team is giving more bad advice and pissing off the Jazz and Danny Ainge. Ainge knew Bailey didn't want to go to the Jazz but apparently he didn't give a crap.

He has the talent of nothing spectacular yet, but has the mentality of Michael Beasley = BUST.
