Expert Analysis

Kyle Sandy

Prep Hoops Lead Scout

Bailey finished with 18 points and 6 rebounds. He didn’t have much help as the rest of the roster shot just 10-39 from the field. Ace got others involved when he could, using his size and athleticism to leap over double teams to riffle in assists. His patented turnaround jumper from the baseline and wing resulted in a handful of tough buckets.

The 6-8 senior guard has strong tools whether it’s scoring off the bounce or off the catch. Bailey can score on all three levels without hesitation and has strong aspirations to be a top pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. He adds super length to his skills and is a capable on-the-ball defender. Expect his name to be mentioned numerous times as the week rolls on at the City of Palms.

Ace Bailey Ace Bailey 6'9" | SF McEachern | 2024 State #2 Nation GA is the undisputed #1 player in Georgia and there’s a case to be made that he’s the best in the country. Bailey moves and handles the rock like a natural guard, yet he skies above the rim for highlight dunks and rejections. He can hit shots from nearly anywhere on the floor and his bag is deep with pro-level moves. Expect to hear his name a lot next year at Rutgers.

Ace Bailey Ace Bailey 6'9" | SF McEachern | 2024 State #2 Nation GA is a shoe-in for this list and in my opinion, still the #1 prospect in the 2024 class. Bailey is such a rare and unique prospect. All summer long, we watched Bailey dominate other Top 100 prospects while consistently putting up 30-40+ points a game. He’s 6’9 and incredibly athletic but also possesses elite guard skills. Bailey can play 1-4 effectively because of his wide array of abilities. He can break down defenders off the bounce, hit tough jumpers, swat opposing layups out of the air, finish putback dunks, and so much more.

The 6-10 power forward has emerged into one of the best prospects in the upcoming senior class. The Rutgers commit flashed his multi-dimension skills finishing with a game-high 30 points and dished out some crisp assists in the win as well. He plays with an unselfish edge and played multiple positions for Athletes of Tomorrow.

Ace Bailey Ace Bailey 6'9" | SF McEachern | 2024 State #2 Nation GA is the undisputed #1 player in Georgia and that’s nothing new. Bailey’s profile is unique, a top-tier athlete at 6’9 with legitimate guard skills, also an excellent rim protector. He’s a tough shot maker, able to hit pull-ups and step-backs over contesting defenders. When it’s all said and done, the Rutgers commit could be the #1 player in the nation.
