The Utah Jazz have Ace Bailey for the next four years at least. Bailey has superstar potential, but the only way to know his true ceiling is to see how he does when he takes the NBA floor next month. If Bailey turns into a franchise player, that's great news for the Jazz, but at the same time, that only amplifies more pressure to build a winning team around him, as the Wizards were his preference.
In his September 22 Substack post, Marc Stein confirmed that Bailey had told every team in the top five not to select him in hopes of being picked by Washington.
