Summary

Is Ace Bailey the steal of the 2025 NBA Draft? The Utah Jazz, holding the 5th pick, could land a potential superstar if Bailey falls to them. Leif Thulin, filling in for David Locke, breaks down Bailey's impressive stats and compares him to NBA greats like Paul George and Tracy McGrady. He argues that Bailey's unique blend of size and shooting ability makes him a top-3 talent in this draft class. Thulin explores draft rumors, including Jeremiah Fears potentially cracking the top 5 and the Philadelphia 76ers looking to trade their pick. He analyzes how these scenarios could impact the Jazz's options, with Tre Johnson or Bailey potentially available at 5. The episode also touches on other top prospects like VJ Edgecombe and Khaman Maluach Watch, providing context for Utah's draft strategy.
