Despite ESPN reports suggesting Utah Jazz's No. 5 draft pick, Ace Bailey, was unwilling to join the team and preferred other destinations, Jazz officials remain confident he'll participate in the Summer League. Bailey's representative, GSE Worldwide, confirmed his excitement to join Utah, attributing conflicting reports to a non-registered manager's actions. Jazz owner Ryan Smith expressed confidence in making Bailey feel welcome in Utah, while ESPN's Brian Windhorst believes the Jazz won't be pressured. Bailey himself expressed happiness at being drafted, and all Jazz draft picks are expected to report by Monday.
