00:00perhaps our first surprise of night number one round number one of the 2025 nba draft as we

00:06welcome you back to sports grid's draft special the team that had the worst record in the association

00:11this previous season the utah jazz drafting fifth overall pick a guy we did not think they would

00:17bring to salt lake in ace bailey kevin walsh and tom vecchio alongside he is the coach jy james young

00:25i am ben stevens and kevin tom we talked about the numbers and the odds profile around areas that

00:31would be ace bailey's profile for the 2025 nba draft not favored to be any of those first five picks

00:39and yet a minus 200 minus 250 favorite to be a top five selection so i ask a rather point-blank

00:46question are you surprised ace went fifth to utah not really the odds were telling

00:54us he would they just told us a few uh guys may the jazz and danny ainge specifically i know

01:02austin ainge is in the mix saw the talent and said they couldn't pass it up i not only agree i say

01:10thank you as a firm ace bailey believer the backing of danny ainge has done tremendous things for my

01:18confidence in that sentiment i think ace bailey landing in utah puts him in in line tom

01:24that the second best odds for rookie of the year of course behind cooper flag yeah so this is

01:30interesting from multiple levels i would say you know at face value this ace bailey with the way

01:36things transpired in the pre-draft process it didn't seem like a danny ainge type of player to me

01:41that's just how i viewed the skill and the talent is there that's very clear right so hang on but i think

01:48this may be one of the best spots because when all when it's said and done they need to trade

01:53laurie marketing and john collins like those are players that other teams will want and this is

01:58i mean you want to take 30 shots a night like i know he said he wanted to be a star in utah may not

02:03be the biggest market but you want to take 20 or 30 shots a night they ship out laurie marketing

02:07send him to a contending team i know a lot of contending teams will like laurie marketing yeah

02:11send john collins 20 shots a night let it rip

02:14you
