NBA Summer League: ACE Bailey scores 8 debut points, while the number 3 Pick Vj EdgeCombe descends 28 and crushes the night

The first day of the NBA Summer League action culminated in a matchup between two first 5 choices in Utah: VJ Edgecombe and Philadelphia 76ers against Ace Bailey and the Utah Jazz. Only one of them published a star performance.
That was Edgecombe, the choice n. 3 of the NBA draft of 2025

Two of these points came to Dunk of the Night, in which Edgecombe showed the type of rebound that you cannot teach:
It was jazz who won 93-89, though. Bailey finished the game with eight points with 3 out of 13 and seven rebounds.
Until about a week before the draft, many expected the Sixer to take Bailey, seen as one of the prospects with the highest ceiling in the class, but they ended up taking Edgecombe. Edgecombe may have always preferred, or Bailey could help them make a decision after refusing to train them for them. Regardless of this, Edgecombe made the right decision seem for at least one night.

The Sixer went to the Baylor product all night and were often rewarded.
In the meantime, Bailey has come into play with more attention around him than the usual choice n. 5, thanks to the actions of his field. He made news when, according to what reported, he became the only perspective of drafts based in the United States to refuse to train for any team before the draft, with the apparent goal of landing with a certain team at the beginning of the first round.
According to reports, that team was not jazz, who took the risk of taking it fifth. After a little post-draft embarrassment, Bailey reported to his new team and denied having ever had problems starting his career in the NBA in Utah.

Finally playing basketball on Saturday, Bailey had at least his moments:
Among the other beginners of the NBA who obtained their first action were the stars of two final teams. Johni Broome, ex Auburn, spent a solid night with 13 points and five rebounds after the Sixers led him to the second round.
Walter Clayton Jr. of Florida, the most exceptional player of Final Four and choice n. 18 of the draft, came out of the bench for jazz and had nine points, six assists and three rebounds.
Kyle Filipowski, a choice of the second round last year, guided the jazz with 22 points.
