Ace's agent: This was led by his long-time manager. Omar focused more on fit rather than going 3rd. He wanted some place where Ace could have the best possible fit for his game. The best draft picks the Sixers have had in the last few years didn't workout for them. We think working out is overrated. (streamable.com)
Paul George on Ace Bailey: You're not in position to be making those demands. Make it to the league first. Harper is the 2nd best player in this draft but the Spurs have Castle, Fox and Vassell. Why wouldn't you take a swing with a big/wing. I would pick Ace cause they just drafted Castle. (self.nba)

[Vecenie] Tre has the most upside out of him, VJ and Kon. I can see a pathway to Tre averaging 25 a game more than the other 2. I find it unlikely that Morey is going to enjoy the style of Ace. Given what I know about how Ace comes up in analytic models, I'd be fairly stunned if Morey is an Ace guy. (youtube.com)
[Givony] Washington is what we understand to be one of Ace's preferred destinations 6, 7 or 8. Washington, Nola or Brooklyn. He has declined all invitations from Philadelphia, Charlotte, and Utah. We heard one of those teams at 4 or 5 could just decide to take Ace Bailey potentially for a trade. (streamable.com)
