Utah Jazz Rookie Ace Bailey Seeks New Representation After Parting Ways with Manager
Utah Jazz rookie forward Ace Bailey has decided to part ways with his manager, Omar Cooper, and is currently seeking new representation, according to sources. Bailey, who was selected as the No. 5 overall pick by the Jazz, made this choice following a draft process that raised some eyebrows. During the draft, Bailey's representatives reportedly discouraged a team in the top five from selecting him and indicated that he would not report if chosen. Despite this, the Jazz picked Bailey fifth overall, leading to uncertainty about his future with the team. However, Bailey ultimately reported to the Jazz without any issues and participated in summer league games with the team.
