Ace Bailey在選前,他的經紀團隊的放話是這樣

Ace Bailey’s agency speaks out about the rumors and reports swirling around
the Utah Jazz draft pick
Earlier in the day, ESPN reported that Bailey’s representatives had “
informed a team drafting inside the top five that they didn’t want that team
to select the Rutgers wing and that he wouldn’t report if it did.” The
report did not specify which team.
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。”
