Former Rutgers forward Ace Bailey side-stepped questions on Tuesday about reportedly turning down several workout requests ahead of the draft.

Asked on Tuesday how hard it has been to see the varying draft projections, Bailey fell back on his usual response of the day: “Ain’t focused on that,” he said. “I’m focused on the basketball part. I’m just hooping every day, getting better as a person and then better at my game on the court.”

Rutgers star Ace Bailey remains a mystery heading into the 2025 NBA Draft, as he has refused to do public workouts for teams.
