Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Bailey was born in Tennessee and went to Boyd-Buchanan for one season before transferring to McEachern in Georgia. He was named Mr. Georgia Basketball in 2024 and also earned McDonald's All-American, Nike Hoop Summit and Jordan Brand Classic honors. The consensus five-star recruit picked Rutgers, joining Dylan Harper, over Kentucky, Kansas, Oregon and Texas. In his lone collegiate season, Bailey averaged 17.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.0 steals in 33.4 minutes per game. He posted 46/35/69 shooting splits on 14.7 field-goal attempts, 4.5 three-point tries and 3.6 free-throw trips per game. He earned Big Ten All-Freshman Team honors and was named Third-Team All-Big Ten. Bailey is an elite shooter from anywhere on the court and used his size to get his shot off whenever he wanted in college. He's great as a spot-up shooter and will attack poor closeouts but settles for mid-range jumpers instead of getting all the way to the rim. He's better at attacking the rim in transition than in half-court settings. Bailey put up strong defensive production in college and has the length to be elite on that end of the court as a pro, but he needs to get stronger to make that happen. He's also a much better offensive rebounder than a defensive one, which will need to change as a pro. Bailey's size and shooting ability immediately bring Kevin Durant (6'11, 240), Michael Porter (6'10, 218), Brandon Miller (6'7, 200) and Jabari Smith (6'10, 220) to mind. Similar to Porter and Miller, Bailey could immediately be a solid third offensive option for a team with a great playmaker already, but it'll take a couple of years before he's developed into a polished offensive product. While there are visions of Durant when watching Bailey play, Durant's development coming into the league was well ahead of where Bailey is now. Smith had a promising start to his career, but his development was put on hold when the Rockets emerged as contenders this season.

Heading to Utah
FUtah Jazz
June 25, 2025
Bailey was selected by the Jazz with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
ANALYSIS
Bailey played for Rutgers during the 2024-25 season and posted outstanding numbers, averaging 17.6 points, 7.2 boards, 1.3 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.0 steals over 30 games while featuring alongside Dylan Harper, who went second overall to the Spurs. Bailey should immediately be a long-term core piece for Utah, and his ability to score at will should give the Jazz a huge boost on offense after they finished last season with the worst record in the NBA. Bailey figures to be a key contributor for Utah from the early stages of his rookie campaign, regardless of whether he plays as a shooting guard or small forward.

FFree Agent
June 25, 2025
The Wizards would be open to drafting Bailey with the sixth overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, according to Jake Fischer of The Stein Line.
ANALYSIS
Bailey has been long tabbed to be selected with the third overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, but if he slips down a bit, the Wizards would be happy to select him with the sixth overall pick. Fischer points out that Washington meets Bailey's requirements as a team that could offer "a healthy shot profile and on-ball creation opportunities." Bailey, who played for Rutgers in the 2024-25 college season, averaged 17.6 points, 7.2 boards, 1.3 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.0 steals over 30 games.
