He is 3 inches shorter than expected. He is not 6'10, he is 6'7.

Also he refused to workout for any team

Watch Hornets and Jazz swap picks...


Apparently he's from Washington and got picked 1 away from his home team. :lol:


Bailey's from Georgia.

He can play PF too.

They went BPA, which is what you should do in the draft when you're missing a superstar.

Bailey might end up being a good pro, but just based on how he carries himself is enough for me to root against him.

Other than Donovan Mitchell, the only guy I remember saying, "I'd love to get drafted by Utah," was Roy Hibbert. If you're the Jazz, you just tanked the eff out of an entire season. You're going to take a top guy.

All of these picks are bad except the Texas ones. Maybe VJ.

Good for the Jazz. Ace has big bust potential but he also has the chance to be an All Star 25 ppg scorer. The Jazz have nobody on the roster with his potential. Might as well take that risk. He may pout, but it's not like he isn't going to show up and play.

I can tell you that the Jazz really, really like Johnson and Fears. So if they took Ace, it means they really, really, really like Ace.

Why do you think he’s BPA?

I don’t have data to back it up but this feels like the most vanilla draft of all time. No action whatsoever, I’m behind on Love Island and going to catch up

CJ will be a good mentor for Johnson in Washington.
