Looks like he could join stockton malone and gobert on their mt. Rushmore. The sooner they trade lauri and build around bailey the better
I like Ace and was hoping he would fall to us but let's be real one preseason game doesnt mean much.
Saw IT after his 2nd summer league game. He has IT. Sounds like he loves basketball and works hard. Only thing standing in his way is injury.got rid of his agent that got him to utah with his idiocy already! :cheers:

A few years ago this post would've baited dozens of posters.
Also this guy looks really solid
The highlights missed a good drive. One knock on Ace in college was that he settled for jumpers too much instead of attacking the basket and finishing. I felt that part of the problem was the poor spacing at Rutgers.
I expect we'll see more of this from now on.

He took a couple bad shots early but looked great once he got it going. Seemed to be automatic around the free throw line. Jazz wete missing probably 3 starters against the rockets best. It can only get better
Ace iso for win. Missed it but hes the future

Will be tuning in to the Utah Jazz team forum to read your hot takes on his career for the next 10 years:cheers:
Yikes. I know it's one preseason game so who cares but with his size, length, and shot-making ability? Looks similar to a young dude who played in Toronto his first couple years in the late 90s.
He's a little longer and jumper is a little clunkier. But still effective.
Not quite the passer the other guy was though and probably never will be.
Sky is the limit. He makes the game look easy. Shows potential at both ends. Made a chase down block. Was goaltending but high energy player. Saved another ball. Great mid range game. But looks like he should be a 3 level scorer. Im sure the spurs are wondering if they took the right guy

It's not the Spurs that messed up. Harper was the clear number 2. It was Pilly and the Hornets that blew it. Thankfully they did because it allowed Tre to fall into our lap.
My top 5 was
1 Cooper
2 Dylan
3 Ace
4 Tre
5 VJ
The gap between Ace and Tre is much smaller than the gap between Tre and VJ imo. I think Kon was 7 at best, and even that is probably a reach.

You’re not baiting anyone you do know this right? I feel like you’re trying extremely hard in here. Especially when your energy towards Ace when he was drafted was nowhere close to the things being said in this thread. You might want to wait until someone on the Jazz gets bashed, hated on that’s actually a good player to do that for. If you got nothing else to do then bait away I guess. You’re kind of making it obvious is all im saying.

A wizards fan saying another team blew it is comical to me. Especially when you look at the talent. But hey man Tre is your savior. Philly blew it!

Not sure what you are getting at? I was happy that they took the bpa even if his former agent didnt like it. My energy after his 2nd and last summer league game was where it is now. I tend to judge players based on watching them play basketball and not on anything else

I had vj at 5, as I posted, so "blew it" was probably too strong in regards to Philly. It definitely fits for the Hornets though.

Was expecting a little divisional push back. But I’ll take this lol when does Tre debut tho in preseason?
[QUOTE=GOBB;15037318]Your energy was mild. Sure you don’t know what I’m getting at. *thumbs up*[/QUOTE]
My energy was pretty much the same. I believe i said then that he could join the jazz mt. Rushmore. Obviously doing it in pre season means a lot more than summer league
[QUOTE=GOBB;15037333]Was expecting a little divisional push back. But I’ll take this lol when does Tre debut tho in preseason?[/QUOTE]
At 3 today on NBA TV. He was pretty impressive in summer league. He showed some finishes inside that I hadn't seen in college.
The Hornets previously drafted Morrison and MKG top 5. :lol apparently there are some Duke alums in their front office that wanted to draft a Dukie. Dumb move.

i told them to draft him smh... :facepalm
I'm getting Gay vibes, Rudy you idiots...
But seriously his game is nice, he'll probably fool a lot of teams into big contracts. His name is Ace after all.
He and towns might get along if they do become teammates in the future.

Just stop :lol
KD averaged 26/11 in college with 4 stocks.
Not sure kd at 18 in a weaker college era means ace cant be an all time great

Rutgers didn't exactly have a tough schedule. :lol
Did you even watch any of his college games? I watched him a lot.

Never saw him play before summer. Kd being better at the same age in a weaker college game doesnt mean ace cant be an all time great. Looks like he could be great. We shall see :cheers:
Not sure what you were watching but big 10 was 2nd best conference and rutgers had 8th toughest schedule in the country
[QUOTE=Xiao Yao You;15037873]Not sure what you were watching but big 10 was 2nd best conference and rutgers had 8th toughest schedule in the country[/QUOTE]
Where are you getting that from? :lol
The SEC was the strongest conference by far. The highest ranked team from the big 10 was 7th. There are 18 teams in the big 10 and many of them are just mediocre.
Their non-coference games included:
Monmouth
Merimmak
Kennesaw State
Notre Dame
Columbia
Seton Hall
The Big Ten was ranked as the second-best conference in men's college basketball last season based on the NET rankings. The conference also had eight teams selected for the NCAA Tournament, and multiple teams appeared in the final Associated Press and Coaches Polls, with Michigan State and Wisconsin finishing as the highest-ranked Big Ten teams.
Rutgers' schedule strength ranked 8th in the nation for the 2024-2025 season, according to TeamRankings.com.
If you arent in sec you have a weak schedule? Big 12 had an off year. Usually the best. I saw plenty of good teams there. Certainly a higher level of play than kd faced when he played in it

KD averaged 26/11 shooting 47% from the field, 40% from 3. Ace averaged 17.6/7.2 on worse shooting. That is a huge gap.
Ace had 3 games all season where he scored 26.
Again i like Ace and had him 3 on my board but anyone comparing him to KD clearly didn't watch him play.
