Did Ace Bailey’s Draft Strategy Backfire? | Nico Harrison Press Conf| Is Ayton A Fit For Lakers?

Welcome to "Shook-Ow… At The Buzzer" with me your host, E! Today I’m talking about the #5 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, Ace Bailey (IG:@acebailey). His pre-draft strategy was shocking – he didn’t do a single pre-draft workout or interview because he wanted to land with the Wizards, Pelicans, or Nets. But instead, Ace Bailey got drafted by the Utah Jazz. Did his plan backfire? I’ll play a clip from “Locked On NBA” discussing Ace Bailey’s pre-draft strategy. Also, Dallas Mavericks GM Nico Harrison held a press conference last week to discuss the team’s present and future. I’ve got two important clips from his presser, and I’ll give you my full reaction. Finally, the Portland Trail Blazers will not pick up Deandre Ayton’s (IG:@deandreayton) team option, making him an NBA free agent. The big question is: Would Deandre Ayton be a good fit for the Los Angeles Lakers? I have Kendrick Perkins’ (X:@KendrickPerkins) take on it and I’ll share mine too. All this is next right here, on "Shook-Ow...At The Buzzer". Please make sure to hit that follow button on Spotify, comment and share the show if you like what you're hearing!
