Sixers' Paul George Retracts Criticism of Jazz's Ace Bailey Draft Process
Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George has publicly retracted his earlier criticism of Utah Jazz rookie Ace Bailey's decision to skip all pre-draft workouts and selectively choose his team. Initially, George questioned Bailey's approach, suggesting it could hurt his draft stock, but he now respects Bailey's choice to 'do it his way,' acknowledging the player's talent and potential to succeed despite the unconventional route. Bailey, the fifth overall pick, impressed in limited Summer League action with Utah, showing flashes of his abilities and earning positive early impressions from the team. George emphasized that everyone has their own path and expressed reluctance to dictate how young players should navigate their careers. The Jazz are hopeful that Bailey can contribute significantly to the franchise's turnaround following a disappointing previous season. This shift in George's stance highlights a growing acceptance of players asserting control over their careers even if it breaks traditional norms.
