Andrew Witlieb, President of Gse Worldwide and One of Ace Bailey’s representatives said his client was “delighted” of having been selected by Utah jazz with the fifth general selection of the NBA Draft Wednesday night.
Witlieb added that Utah “It is one of the best places I could have gone.”
Ace Bailey, a complex prospect in the attitudinal
There have been multiple reports on process management prior to Bailey draft. It should be noted that he did not participate in any individual training of the NBA teams, and Jonathan Givony of ESPN reported that his “favorite destinations” were the Washington Wizards (sixth place), the New Orleans Pelicans (seventh) or the Brooklyn Nets (Eighth).
Bailey rejected previously the opportunity to Train with the Philadelphia 76ers, Charlotte Hornets and Jazzwho chose from the third to fifth place, according to Givony.
Y Omar Cooper, who represented Bailey during the process prior to the draft (But not as an agent officially certified by the NBPA, according to Sarah Todd de Deseret News), he supposedly did not comment for Givony when he asked about the Bailey National Team by Utaah.
Yet, Jazz doesn’t worry if Bailey wants to play with them. In the end, that was where they chose it, and the jazz hopes that I play in Salt Lake City.
If Witlieb’s latest comments are an indication, It seems that Bailey is anxious to be a member of Utah and leave behind recent conversations prior to the draft about its favorite destinations.
