Leading up to the 2025 NBA Draft, top prospect Ace Bailey’s camp reportedly put out word that he didn’t want to be selected by either the Charlotte Hornets or Utah Jazz. That apparently didn’t matter to the Jazz, who made the Rutgers star the fifth overall pick in the first round of the NBA Draft.

Ace Bailey has finally touched down in Utah. Bailey, 18, arrived in Salt Lake City on Saturday ahead of his introductory press conference with the Jazz. The Jazz posted a video of Bailey and his team landing in Utah, with the No. 5 pick sporting a Jazz shirt and being greeted by head coach Will Hardy.

It's easy to see why Ace Bailey has been so highly regarded for so long. The Utah Jazz's No. 5 overall pick in the NBA Draft glides around the court, looking at ease in his NBA Summer League debut on Saturday night in Salt Lake City.
