On Tuesday, Bailey was asked by reporters how he was tuning out the noise, and what he thought about his now highly-publicized situation. "I'm just working on basketball, that's all I'm focused on so far," Bailey said. Bailey was then asked if he thought people had the wrong perception of him after his decision to not attend pre-draft workouts.

Rutgers star Ace Bailey remains a mystery heading into the NBA draft. Bailey has not had a public workout for any team, a puzzling strategy that got him called out by critics ranging from current NBA players to analysts to Pennsylvania Gov.

With Flagg and Harper almost certainly going first and second overall, the draft gets interesting with the Philadelphia 76ers' pick at No. 3. For much of the college basketball season, it appeared Harper's co-star at Rutgers, Ace Bailey, would go third overall, but his approach to the draft process has seen him fall on many draft boards.
