Utah Jazz guard Ace Bailey, who was the fifth pick in the NBA draft on Wednesday evening, has lofty goals for his first pro season.

Ace Bailey didn't expect to hear his name called by the Utah Jazz with the No. 5 overall pick on Wednesday night in Brooklyn. Leading up to the 2025 NBA Draft, reports suggested that neither Utah nor Charlotte -- which held the No.

Former Rutgers star reportedly targeted three other teams in the draft, but an ESPN analyst says Utah made the right call.
