Jazz rookie Ace Bailey's Summer League debut showed more defensive prowess than scoring, but impressed coaches. Despite a modest 8 points in a win, Bailey's rebounding (7) and defensive intensity, including a game-sealing rebound, stood out. Coaches emphasized the importance of his defensive contributions and work ethic, believing offensive skills will develop. A planned guest coach was cancelled due to league concerns. Bailey's positive attitude and engagement on the bench further impressed the team.
