Jazz rookie Ace Bailey's performance in summer league debut

Ace Bailey received a standing ovation before the game began as he stepped onto the court for warmups at the Huntsman Center. The crowd showed their support for the player seen as the next Utah Jazz star. Bailey admitted feeling nervous but grateful for the fan love.

However, Bailey was outperformed by V.J. Edgecombe, the No. 3 draft pick, who scored 28 points and 10 rebounds for the Philadelphia 76ers. Despite this, the Utah Jazz won 93-89 in the Salt Lake City Summer League opener.

Bailey displayed glimpses of his potential with 8 points and seven rebounds, but also showed areas needing improvement, such as shot selection. Jazz coach Scott Morrison emphasized focusing on fundamentals before refining Bailey's game.

Although Bailey's performance is a work in progress, he remains positive and eager to improve. Winning the game was a highlight for him amidst the learning process.
