What spot does he play? SF? I guess he's not going to get any court time with Durant there now. I was interested in him pre-draft. Not sure if the Spurs have or ever had any interest in him.
How is his defense?
He’s a knucklehead or chuckle , whatever your preference. He was the Ace Bailey of his draft, horrible interviews, bad body language. He was mocked 5-10, but dropped to 20. Like Ace,he’s an ISO guy who just isn’t efficient enough to be a primary scorer, and doesn’t play well enough off the ball to be a top support player. Just another case of star syndrome without sufficient talent to make it happen.
they apparently did it with CP3 but under very different cir stances
bigger issue with him is the expected salary range. if someone like detroit offers him 25+ mil, thats a bit reach for what he brings

Harper vs. Flagg in Game 2 should be fun.
Per league rules if Ace Bailey sits out for one year and doesn’t play for any professional team elsewhere he is eligible for the 2026 NBA draft. The Jazz would lose his rights
Is he actually not going to turn up to Utah?
What does that mean for Utah's draft pick? Do they get compensation?
Hopefully they both make it to that game tbh. Could see both of them being shut down right after it but I'm sure the league is mandating they both play if healthy.
Zero chance that Ace doesn't report. He'd lose a ton of money tbh.
He defense is sometimesy. He es when he doesn’t get the ball or enough playing time. Pretty much complained about Ime to the media last year and that was pretty much the end of his time here.
He'd lose over $10M and do irreparable damage to his reputation tbh. He'll report. Kid has some legit terrible advisors though. His agent is a dollar store version of Rich Paul. Reminds me of Uncle Dennis tbh.
What a clown.
Not an actual agent.
I saw a tweet somewhere mentioning that his actual agent (not this Omar Cooper dude) pretty much killed all rumors of him not reporting to Utah or refusing to play for them. I think a lot of this is just media BS and will be a non-issue in a few days but we'll see.
Denver doesn’t have that kind of money to throw around. They’ve had to offload guys over the last couple of years to stay below the second apron.
Speak of the devil. Givony just tweeted out that Ace will be reporting to Utah on Sunday.
my bad, was a typo. meant detroit. will fix
Kidd giving Flagg the Sochan treatment
Tim MacMahon: Jason Kidd has said multiple times that he’ll utilize Cooper Flagg as a “point guard” early and plans to push him by putting him in situations that might be uncomfortable.

boooooo, I want drama!
didnt this dumbass try to do this with Giannis too before he got fired?
According to this article from the NY Post it is.
Given the chance to clear up Bailey’s future with the Jazz, his agent, Omar Cooper, declined comment in an interview with ESPN’s Jonathan Givony on Thursday night.
ESPN’s Brian Windhorst added that the Rutgers star has yet to report to the Jazz, who selected him with the fifth pick in Salt Lake City; Utah’s other first-round draft pick, Florida star Walter Clayton, has.

i already see Jazz fans trying to tell themselves it's not a big deal that he didn't hop on a plane yet...meanwhile Harper and Bryant were here the next day and already posing in their jerseys. Poor Jazz fans
That was Andrew Witlieb in the video. He's the President of GSE Worldwide, the agency that is representing Ace, but is not his actual agent. Omar Cooper is reportedly his agent.
Fans Express Displeasure with Ace Bailey’s AgentJust days before the draft, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that Bailey, once seen as a near-lock for a top-three selection, could slip in the draft due to his agency’s questionable tactics during the pre-draft process. That report proved to be prophetic.
“Multiple league sources said Bailey’s agent, Omar Cooper, wanted the Sixers to commit to him before his scheduled Friday workout. One league executive believes that Bailey, once a consensus top-three pick, probably will drop in the draft because of his agency’s tactics,” wrote Pompey in his report.

League doesn’t do that for SL. Wemby played a game and a half, Castle just played one game.
