Bailey raised eyebrows during the pre-draft process by refusing to do individual workouts. Then, on draft night, ESPN reported that Utah was not one of his “preferred destinations,” adding that he had hoped to land in Washington, New Orleans or Brooklyn. 當天早些時候，ESPN報道稱，Bailey的代表「已通知一支前五順位選秀球隊，他們不希望 該球隊選擇這位羅格斯大學的側翼球員，而且即使該球隊選擇他，Bailey也不會報到。」 但該報道並未具體說明是哪支球隊。 Bailey在選秀前拒絕參加個人試訓，引發了外界關注。隨後，在選秀之夜，ESPN報道稱猶 他爵士隊並非他的“首選目的地”，並補充說他原本希望加盟華盛頓巫師、新奧爾良鵜鶘 或布魯克林籃網。 It appears the conflict stems from Bailey’s surrounding circle. Omar Cooper, a longtime manager of Bailey’s and the father of former NBA player Sharife Cooper, was NBA teams’ primary point of contact for Bailey in the draft process. It was Cooper, according to reports, who worked hardest to steer Bailey to one of the three teams below Utah: Washington, New Orleans, or Brooklyn. But Cooper isn’t a registered agent by the National Basketball Players Association. Bailey’s registered agency is instead GSE Worldwide, whose president, Andrew Witlieb, spoke to Front Office Sports on Friday. 這場衝突似乎源自於Bailey的圈子。Omar Cooper是貝利的長期經紀人，也是前NBA球員 Sharife Cooper的父親，他是NBA球隊在選秀過程中Bailey的主要聯絡人。據報道， Cooper竭盡全力引導Bailey加入猶他州以下的三支球隊之一：華盛頓巫師、紐奧良鵜鶘 或布魯克林籃網。 但Cooper並非美國國家籃球運動員協會（NBA）的註冊經紀人。Bailey的註冊經紀公司是 GSE Worldwide，該公司總裁Andrew Witlieb週五接受《Front Office Sports》採訪。 “He’s thrilled to be going to Utah. Obviously, it’s an honor to be selected in the top 5 of the NBA draft. We think he can do a lot of great things out there,” Witlieb said. “It’s a great situation for him basketball wise.” 「他很高興能去猶他。顯然，能在NBA選秀中被前五順位選中是一種榮幸。我們認為他能 在那做出很多偉大的事情，」Witlieb說。"從籃球角度來看，這對他來說是個好機會。" Witlieb said GSE Worldwide was “partnering” with Cooper on representing Bailey. Witlieb said Daniel Green, an NBPA certified agent, “would be Ace’s day-to-day agent along with Omar Cooper.” “Omar really focused on fit rather than going” higher in the draft, Witlieb said of Cooper’s actions, but said GSE Worldwide thinks “Utah is one of the best places he could’ve gone.” “We’re going to literally put so many things in place so all he’s going to do is focus on basketball and getting better and being the best possible player that he can be and helping that team play a lot better than he did last year,” Witlieb said. Finally, Cooper posted a photo of Bailey on Instagram on Friday afternoon with the caption “Congratulations @acebailey @utahjazz Letsssss Goooooo." Witlieb表示，GSE Worldwide 將與Cooper「合作」代理Bailey。Witlieb表示，NBPA 認證經紀人Daniel Green「將與Omar Cooper一起擔任 Ace 的日常經紀人」。 Witlieb在談到Cooper的行為時表示：“Omar真正關注的是適應情況，而不是在選秀中走 得更高”，但他表示，GSE Worldwide 認為“猶他是他能去的最好的地方之一”。 最後，Cooper於週五下午在 Instagram 上發布了一張Bailey的照片，並配文“祝賀 @acebailey @utahjazz加油。” ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 至於猶他爵士的制服組對應的狀況則是這樣 ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, meanwhile, reported his confidence that Utah’s front office leaders would ensure Bailey ends up in a Jazz uniform. “One thing I will tell you, with confidence, Danny Ainge and his son, Austin, are not going to bend here. They’re not going to get pushed around. They do not care what the situation might bring,” Windhorst said. “So the idea that they’re going to pressure the Jazz into something, I don’t think will be successful for Ace Bailey and his operation. But let’s see how the next 72 hours plays out.” 與此同時，ESPN 的Brian Windhorst表示，他相信猶他爵士隊的管理層領導會確保 Bailey最終穿上爵士隊的球衣。 「有一件事我可以自信地告訴你，Danny Ainge和他的兒子Austin不會屈服。他們不會被 擺佈。他們不在乎情況會帶來什麼，」Windhorst說。 “所以，我認為他們向爵士隊施壓 的想法，對Ace Bailey和他的球隊來說不會成功。但讓我們拭目以待接下來的72小時會發 生什麼吧。” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 後續發展是Ace Bailey這方很快就縮了,準備讓他去猶他報到 https://tinyurl.com/exzyp6r2 Ace Bailey, No. 5 overall pick in 2025 NBA draft, set to report to Jazz on Saturday, team says Utah Jazz rookie Ace Bailey is expected to report to the team on Saturday after an unusual draft process, in which Bailey declined to workout with individual teams ahead of the draft. A Jazz representative told ESPN's Jonathan Givony on Friday afternoon that Bailey will join his new team over the weekend with a Sunday press conference. 猶他爵士隊新秀Ace Bailey預計將於週六到隊報到，此前，Bailey在選秀前拒絕與任何 一支球隊一起訓練。 爵士隊代表週五下午告訴ESPN 的Jonathan Givony，Bailey將在周末加入新球隊，並在 周日舉行新聞發布會。 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 在選秀去處出來之前,Bailey的代表方一直是Omar Cooper,甚至在爵士隊選擇Bailey之後 他還拒絕發表任何意見,但在隔天早上,Bailey的代表方馬上變成GSE Worldwide 總裁 Andrew Witlieb並表示Bailey非常樂意前往猶他 那Omar Cooper到底是啥來頭? https://tinyurl.com/hmd3mpyf Who Is Omar Cooper? The Man Guiding Ace Bailey’s NBA Draft Decisions Cooper is the C.E.O and founder of LifeStyle Sports Agency. In addition, he is also the owner of the LifeStyle Sports Bistro and the father of former NBA player Sharife Cooper and former WNBA player Te’a Cooper. With his LifeStyle Sports Agency, he represents several players at the collegiate level, with the most high-profile among them being Ace Bailey. His agency also represents Rutgers transferee Tariq Francis, as well as McNeese stars Alyn Breed and Omar Cooper Jr. He also represents Rutgers star Jamichael Davis, along with several football stars like Jermaine Kinsler and Elijah Kinsler. Cooper是LifeStyle Sports Agency的執行長兼創辦人，此外，他還是LifeStyle Sports Bistro餐廳的老闆，也是前NBA球員Sharife Cooper和前WNBA球員Te’a Cooper的父親。 他旗下的LifeStyle Sports經紀公司代理著多位大學球員，其中最引人注目的是Ace Bailey。他的經紀公司還代理羅格斯大學轉學生Tariq Francis，以及McNeese大學的明 星球員Alyn Breed和Omar Cooper Jr.。他也代理羅格斯大學的明星球員Jamichael Davis ，以及Jermaine Kinsler和Elijah Kinsler等幾位美式足球明星。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 不過實際去查詢一下這些球員,基本上都落在排行榜200名以外,跟Ace Bailey落差非常大 據說Ace Bailey是在15歲時,被Omar Cooper從田納西的Chattanooga帶著高中轉校並開始 發展,等於是一路培養到他進NBA,但Omar Cooper沒有取得NBA認證的經紀人資格,所以只得 跟GSE Worldwide配合 https://www.gseworldwide.com/basketball 這間經紀公司也有幾個NBA球員,排其次是Bub Carrington ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 最後 這篇報導也解釋了Omar Cooper在目前狀況到底掛啥職稱 https://tinyurl.com/55fksa34 No drama: Ace Bailey 'thrilled to be going to Utah,' agency says During his appearance on Friday, Witlieb described the role played by Omar Cooper, who has been a main focus of criticism while acting as Bailey's adviser and not being a certified agent. 週五，Witlieb在公開訪問時描述了Omar Cooper所扮演的角色，Cooper一直是批評的焦點 ，因為他是貝利的顧問，並不是認證經紀人。 ........顧問????? https://i.meee.com.tw/frAhFaP.jpeg 好喔 而且這個正式的經紀公司好像也有點在狀況外 Witlieb may want to join his client for a few days in Salt Lake City. During the interview, the agency executive claimed the city didn't "have any other professional sports teams," to which the Utah Mammoth would beg to differ. Witlieb或許想去鹽湖城陪他的客戶待幾天。在採訪中，這位經紀公司高管聲稱 "鹽湖城沒有其他職業運動隊"，但猶他猛獁象隊對此持不同意見。 *猶他猛獁象隊/Utah Mammoth 是猶他的NHL冰球球隊,老闆是Ryan Smith,而且他同時 也是猶他爵士隊的老闆,他目前正在當地大力發展各種職業球團,甚至在一開始這位 老闆對NHL的關注度還明顯超過爵士隊,而且猶他猛獁象隊還跟爵士隊共用主場館... .........我只能說,Ace Bailey的經紀團隊 一個還非正式只能掛顧問,然後選前各種搞事把你搞臭 一個選後出來洗地,結果對當地還一副狀況外的樣子,冰球是猶他老闆的心肝寶貝啊 接下來這個看起來不靠普的經紀團隊還要面對大小安吉 這真的扛的住嗎........... -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 118.160.22.195 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/UTAH-JAZZ/M.1751069914.A.77A.html ※ 編輯: glen (118.160.22.195 臺灣), 06/28/2025 08:27:25 ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ※ 轉錄者: glen (118.160.22.195 臺灣), 06/28/2025 08:36:09
