Ace Bailey says he's 'blessed' to be with the Jazz after he fell to them at No. 5 in the NBA draft

Utah was not believed to be one of Ace Bailey's preferred destinations to start his NBA career. Bailey reported to Utah after he was criticized for his approach to the pre-draft process, during which he refused to work out for teams interested in him. When asked during his introductory news conference if he considered not coming to Salt Lake City, he only expressed enthusiasm for being with the Jazz.
