Ace Bailey’s path to the 2025 NBA Draft has been curious to say the least. The highest prospects choose between all franchises showing interest in their services and even cancel one of them all the way. However, he did not seem to doubt his ability.
In a recent press conference, he did not seem to be bothered by the media that questioned his maturity. “I can control what I can control. I play basketball.” Young Start shared on Tuesday, and now he has witnessed his choice in the first round of the draft.
Most interrogations center on his process, as most of the highest prospects take advantage of the opportunity to train with NBA organizations before the big day. “I’m so lucky to be in this position. That’s all. I’m taking it away every day.”
When further questions arose, especially after canceling the workout with the Sixers, he replied: “I’m focused on basketball.” In the mock draft, the six-foot-eight forward trailed only Roger teammates Dylan Harper and Feeling Cooper Flagg, who should be the No. 1 pick.
However, some other experts (such as ESPN draft analysts) Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo believe the player will be selected for sixth place, meaning he will land in Washington next season. Most of Bailey’s decisions were directed by his agent, Omar Cooper.
Even 76ers star Paul George is openly speaking out about Ace’s draft path. “I mean, I think if I were ace Bailey, if my stock went down, I wouldn’t be angry.” Podcast p exhibit. “But he has canceled all workouts. It’s like he’s not working out for any team.
He then added: “But he didn’t exercise for any team. But, you don’t have the ability to make those requests. First of all, go into the league. It’s to identify the people around you. I don’t know who represents him, but I don’t think they are right.”
