Kevin Durant raves about potential Nets draft target Ace Bailey: ‘Incredible to watch’
NY Post
MILWAUKEE — Brooklyn fans had expected Kevin Durant to lead their team to its first ever NBA title.
Now, many are hoping to land a local prospect that their former star sees a lot of himself in.
When Brooklyn committed to a rebuild they bet a big part of their future foundation on next June’s lottery pick, with Ace Bailey — a freshman at nearby Rutgers — one of the most sought-after prospects.
The sinewy forward has often been likened to Durant and the former Net agreed that it’s an apt comparison.
“Yeah, I think so,” Durant said after guiding his Suns to a 110-100 Christmas Day victory over the Nuggets. “Ace is a pure, pure talent. Being able to shoot the ball with that type of touch from anywhere. It’s insane the shots that he can make over multiple people at that length. It’s incredible to watch.”
