On June 28, NBA Jazz reporters revealed that 2025 rookie Es Bailey has not reported to the Jazz so far, and has not taken the initiative to contact the team. As for what he will do in the future, everything is full of unknowns, but the Jazz have already stated that they will not trade him unless he gives up his draft rights this season.

Why did Es Bailey become the thorn in the first round pick of the 2025 draft? It is reported that before the draft, he and his agent made a voice to refuse to try out for teams such as the Philadelphia 76ers and Hornets, and said that the top 5 teams should not choose him, otherwise they would regret it. However, the Jazz finally chose Es Bailey with the No. 5 pick.

Although Espee showed signs of thorns from the beginning, many celebrities in the NBA league highly recognized his basketball talent. Melon Anthony commented on him this way: "Belley looks more like McGrady, Paul George, Durant, and even me in terms of game, skills, talent, etc. He has the final say in the killer. Bailey will become the best wing player in the league!"

Ece Bailey was born on August 13, 2006. He is 2.02 meters tall, has an arm span of 2.16 meters, weighs 97 kilograms, and plays as a forward. He is from Rutgers University. In the 2024-2025 season, the NCAA averaged 17.6 points + 7.2 rebounds per game, and shot a 35.0% shooting percentage. He is very gentle on the offensive end and is known as a mid-range killer. He is very good at leaning back jump shots and huge profits. However, he lacks defensive awareness and passes. In addition, it seems that his emotional intelligence is a bit powerless.
