Airious “Ace” Bailey

Draft Notes

Ace Bailey is a big time wing prospect with ideal size, length and tools. He’s a long, wiry and explosive athlete who easily passes the eye test. He’s super smooth for a 6-10 player and just looks like a NBA wing.

Has a great feel for scoring the ball and is a capable 3pt shooter with good touch on his jumper.

Is at his best slashing to the basket and using his size and athleticism to make plays in the lane. Is a great above the rim player.
