The Archetypes and Potentials of Ace Bailey, Tre Johnson, and Jase Richardson

J. Kyle Mann and Danny Chau discuss Rutgers's freshman wing Ace Bailey and his potential at the next level (03:44). They discuss player comps for Bailey, his shooting and athleticism, and whether there are any good fits for him among the teams atop the lottery standings. Next, the guys discuss the NBA potentials of two freshman guards: Texas's Tre Johnson (26:25) and Michigan State's Jase Richardson (36:06), who is the son of former NBA player Jason Richardson. Can Tre overcome his lack of burst and his struggles to create space to prove he is one of the best shooters in this draft? Can Jase maximize his unique skill set and small size to become an effective player in the NBA?
