Even with most believing the Utah Jazz have been focused more on the future than on this season all year, their rookie sensation guard Ace Bailey has been busy showing why future success may come sooner than some think.
At just 19, Bailey has already etched his name in NBA history. On Monday night, as the Jazz were in the middle of losing another game, this time to the Toronto Raptors, Bailey became the fifth-youngest player to ever record three-straight games with at least 25 points.
Bailey scored 37 points in 35 minutes, connecting on 11-of-21 shots from the field and 7-of-10 from three. He also added five rebounds and three assists. His 37 points are a new career-high, besting the 33 he put up at the start of this historic stretch against the Milwaukee Bucks on March 19.
