I agree. From a team perspective, we absolutely need a wing like Ace playing, great size and wingspan, ability to knockdown shots, weakside shotblocking, defense, and great offensive rebounder.

*You have a collect call from*
Ace Bailey, biiiiiiiz!
*Do you accept the charges? Press one for yes or press two if you're a hating-*** Lakers or Philly fan*
If you press 1: *Buckle up and get ready for corner threes and highlight dunks!*
If you press 2: *You're a hater and you suck. Goodbye!*

Pre-SL my expectation was he'd be in and out of the rotation given how raw he is. But he clearly has stuff that we're gonna want to put on the floor. And given that we're not trying to win, his shortfalls shouldn't be enough to keep him off the floor. Not to mention we don't really have any other vets to play, lol.

Ace could very well average 20+ second half of the season. Not sure If Flagg will or not.

Who else is gonna shoot on that Dallas roster?

Won’t happen but if he stays focused he’ll be a great player. He needs to learn how to affect the game outside of scoring, especially passing.
What the hell is this "won't happen but" nonsense?
Just tune out the noise. Ace has been all smiles from the moment he's been here. This "Omar" jack *** will fadeaway here pretty quickly.
Outside of Karl Malone I don't think we have ever drafted a player with his talent + upside.
Yes he is raw and selfish. Which he should be. He is 18 years old (!!!) and has been the most talented player on the court of every game he has ever played until right now.
We got the #2 most talented player in the draft at #5. Count our blessings and just let him develop.

Edgecombe is also very impressive and could slot right in.
Thank God we have something to be hyped about.

You just proved my point by saying we got the number two player in the draft. I agree! Haha I’m saying he will be great just not rookie of the year. That’s not a knock. Mitchell didnt get rookie of the year and his rookie year was incredible. ROY isnt important anyway. So many amazing players didnt get ROY. Kobe and Dirk’s rookie year wasn’t great. I think Flagg will get it.
And he wasn't afraid to put it out there that he's going for ROY. That says a lot about his confidence.

You’re on point when it comes to Ace! Still pissed me off though, driving the odds down before I’ve made my wager!
He's going to have to start day one and play lots of minutes
Hope that's in the Jazz plans
Would be pretty cool if Ace won. I think my pick outside of Flagg right now would be Tre. I think he's basically going to have the keys to the offense in Washington and will score a lot of points.
I would probably put the odds at:
55% Flagg
20% Tre
10% Ace
15% Other

VJ's got a real shot. So does Yang Hansen (he prefers the Western order for his name).
I don't think VJ will get nearly the usage as Tre, but we'll see. Yang would really surprise me.
