USAThu Jun 26 2025
Ace Bailey, the 18-year-old forward from Rutgers, is making waves in the 2025 NBA Draft. He's kept things low-key, skipping public workouts for teams. Some people, like current NBA players and analysts, aren't happy about this. They think it's a strange move.
Bailey says he doesn't care where he ends up. He's all about playing basketball and letting things happen naturally. He told reporters this during the pre-draft events. Bailey promises to bring energy and maturity to any team that picks him. He's not picky about the team's record or anything like that.
