Alarms went off when Ace Bailey expressed his regret and annoyance at being drafted by the Utah Jazz, seriously threatening with a discipline breach that would have cost him dearly. He had communicated his desire not to go to Salt Lake City before the Draft, but the urgent need for a disruptive talent led the Jazz management to make this bold decision.

Soon, things settled down, and at the Summer League, the potential of a young man who, at just 19 years old, aims high, emerged. Fast, athletic, with innate talent for creating off the dribble and genuine audacity, Ace Bailey is still perceived as one of the great raw diamonds of the NBA, and the feelings within the Utah Jazz organization have improved greatly after the young man's first few months within the franchise. So much so that there are already radical proposals.

It is believed that Markkanen and Kessler could leave halfway through the season, further opening up salary space for a team that would start a competitive project by handing the keys of the city to Ace Bailey, trying to accelerate his progression so that in the medium term, he becomes an NBA star capable of leading a contender team. The start of the season will be crucial in gauging Utah Jazz's confidence in their new player.
