The biggest storyline coming into the 2025 NBA Draft was where Ace Bailey would get drafted. With Cooper Flagg and Dylan Harper locks to go No. 1 and No. 2 respectively, all eyes were on the 76ers with the third pick after Bailey canceled a workout in Philly and was seemingly steering himself to the Wizards in the sixth pick.

It has not been confirmed or denied that Utah was that team. On Friday, ESPN's Brian Windhorst said on Get Up that the Jazz will "not budge" if pressured by Bailey's camp and that he will begin his career with the team.
