Typically, a rookie fresh off the draft will report to their teams right away in order to make introductions, tour the facilities, and make a strong first impression. Bailey, who was nearly moved to tears on draft day, has essentially gone M.I.A. in this process.

Bailey did not work out for the Jazz and reportedly has had minimal contact with the team since being drafted by them.

Ex- Rutgers star Ace Bailey hasn’t reported to his new team, the Utah Jazz, as of Friday morning. Bailey was chosen by the Jazz with the No. 5 pick in Wednesday’s NBA Draft though it was not his “preferred destination.”
