The NCAA star’s agent, Omar Cooper, declined comment on Bailey’s future with the Utah Jazz, who selected him fifth overall. Despite the Jazz not having an issue, Cooper defended his client’s actions during the pre-draft process, which has been widely criticized. Bailey cancelled a workout with the 76ers and reportedly told another team in the top five that he wouldn’t report if they selected him. The Jazz will not be forced into moving Bailey to a team of his choice. With his talent undeniable, Bailey’s behavior has sparked debate among NBA players and fans alike.
