2025 Draft Profile - Ace Bailey

NBA Draft Room - March 22nd: "Bailey flashes incredible upside and when things are going well for him he looks as talented as any prospect in the world. But there are still too many moments of inconsistent play, inefficient shooting and questionable decision making."

Jeremy Woo - ESPN - March 13th: "He is viewed as more of a project and one who will require careful, hands-on development to succeed -- but there's no player in this draft who can score the way he does. Bailey's predraft process will be pivotal in persuading teams he can discover the consistency needed to be a star at the next level."

Kyle Boone - CBS Sports - March 12th: "The size, scoring and sensational athleticism of Bailey makes him one of the most exciting prospects in this class. He needs to sharpen some of the passing and handling in his game but the ability to get a bucket is incomparable with any in this class."

Jonathan Wasserman - Bleacher Report - March 11th: "There has been debate inside scouting circles, mostly around the potential effects of his weaknesses and whether they're overstated. Even with a role that asks for scoring and allows for shot-hunting, the tape behind the 8.3 assist percentage still shows tunnel vision and off-target passes when pressured."

USA Today - March 11th: "Bailey is a hyper-athletic wing with length and size coming into a league that prioritizes players built exactly the way he is with exactly the skill set he has: an effortless and reliable shot and an attack-first mentality with an ability to finish at the rim."
