  1. BIG FAN OF BAILEYS GAME🔥🔥HE IS A LOT BETTER THAN PEOPLE REALIZE BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE JUST DONT SEE IT BECAUSE HE IS ON THE JAZZ💯💔

  2. It seems like like Ace is on the Tatum/PG/Kawhi trajectory, where he won’t necessarily be the main creator in his first years, but will slowly ramp up after he becomes a reliable defender. I’m excited to see what Ace can become.

  3. His reputation got smeared by basketball media during the draft period, but that was all fault of his agent/management. So glad he’s proving the naysayers wrong!

  4. I see a lot of post knee injury, Paul George in Ace Bailey post knee injury Paul George relied much less on getting to the hoop and more on his three-point shooting in mid range game. Both are long athletic players who can be considered two-way players.

  5. 0:35 no that's not fair, the mistake anti-analytics people make isn't the ignoring numbers, it's valuing the ability to MAKE difficult shots over the ability to GENERATE good shots. Bailey coule make difficult jumpers he had "a bag" but could he get his teammates GOOD shots with the way he plays? That was the big question mark. Even most analytics people will tell u that numbers cant tell u everything.

  6. he’s not as tall as giannis or KD, but those big long strides when he’s attacking are so reminiscent of those guys.

    also, all of his rebounds look cool. they don’t just fall to him, he’s often jumping higher than other dudes.

    [9:08 is his best play of the season]

  7. Can you make a video about the Hawks? Mid season rebuild essentially lead by potential all NBA Jalen Johnson winning 16 of their last 19 games, it’s a pretty wild story

  8. My favorite part of Bailey's game is his rebounding (especially offensive). He has a really good feel for positioning and isn't afraid to chase down a ball the defense should have had easily.

  9. As an ace skeptic he is traking exactly as I expected. His fans would say things about him that were just untrue like him being 6"10 who could be a lead creator. He was always going be be more of a high value role player which he is now trending towards. I comped his best case scenario to a jaden mcdaniels with a more sure shot, seems like he is headed to that but there was a very real chance that he ended up being Denzell Valentine.
