SALT LAKE CITY — Austin Ainge called landing Ace Bailey a "dream scenario" for the Utah Jazz — and he's likely not the only one in Utah who feels that way. For three seasons now, Jazz fans have had to endure an unclear rebuild, looking for a youngster to pin their future hopes on. Is that Taylor Hendricks? Cody Williams? Keyonte George? Isaiah Collier? Kyle Filipowski? The early returns are … no. Sure, all could end up being helpful players, but franchise-altering guys? That's a stretch.

SALT LAKE CITY — Two weeks ago, the Utah Jazz sat down and tried to map out the draft. The top two were just about set in stone, and they started to get a pretty good idea of how the rest of the top five would go. In the end, they came away from the exercise with two names circled for their picks: Ace Bailey and Walter Clayton Jr.On Wednesday night, that best-case scenario became reality. The Jazz took Bailey with the No. 5 pick and then traded up from No. 21 to No. 18 to grab Clayton.
