That said, he was also better in college than Ace, and better as a rookie... and likely better every year thereafter. People are often short-sighted about rookie performance, especially in non-optimal circumstances.

Nobody should be comparing him to KD who has 4 inches of height and length on him, way more wiggle and is a better passer. It's not fair to Bailey so hopefully people aren't actually doing this. I think a cross between Jabari Smith and MPJ is more realistic.
