Ace Bailey might have the highest upside of any player in the class, thanks to his elite combination of size (6’10”), shooting touch, and shot creation. A fluid athlete with guard-like skills, Bailey lit it up at Rutgers with 20.3 points per game on 38% shooting from beyond the arc. While still raw in some areas—particularly on the defensive end—his offensive ceiling is tantalizing. He thrives in isolation, can pull up from anywhere, and is a threat in transition. If he can stay healthy and improve his off-ball awareness, Bailey could become one of the league’s premier scoring forwards. The Hornets get a high-risk, high-reward talent reminiscent of Michael Porter Jr.—a scoring machine with a silky game.
