Ace Bailey puts on a show in second outing, full Jazz Summer League grades

When the Utah Jazz's first Summer League game wrapped up, the read on Ace Bailey was, maybe that wasn't the best performance ever, but the potential is there. In Game 2, Jazz fans got everything they could have asked for Bailey and then some.

The funny thing is that Bailey wasn't necessarily the best player. He was just the biggest standout, and that's debatable. The Jazz got a really good look at what some of their youngsters can do, and the results are very promising in what was a pretty exciting win over the Memphis Grizzlies. Here's how the youngsters fared.

The Jazz's grades for Day 2 of Summer League

Ace Bailey: Let's face it. As the Jazz's most prized rookie in years, he's always going to go first. It wouldn't matter if he had an excellent game or a terrible one. Bailey will always get the most attention. Luckily, Bailey looked the part of someone that the Jazz should feel incredibly fortunate he fell to them at No. 5.

In a nutshell, Bailey looked like the whole package. He hit a couple of tough shots, was fesity on the boards, continued to show defense and hustle, and even got some nice dishes in to his teammates. He was a man among boys out there,

He still took some ill-advised shots, but that simply comes with the territory of drafting a very exciting prospect. Even crazier is that the Jazz didn't run a lot of plays through him, and he still dominated.

Grade: A

Brice Sensabaugh: Remember how it was brought up earlier that even though Bailey was the biggest standout, he wasn't the Jazz's best player? Yeah that honor belongs to Brice Sensabaugh, who continues to show that he is too good to play in Summer League.

He put up 37 points - an SLC Summer League record - which came from an extremely efficient night from him. Nine-for-14 shooting, including six threes to go with 13-for-14 free throw shooting, and it all equates to Sensabaugh looking like a real flamethrower.

His performance did come with five turnovers, one of which almost cost Utah the game. He also had a pretty bad plus-minus of minus-12. Nonetheless, Sensabaugh continues to look like a legitimate leap is coming in Year 3.

Grade: A+

Cody Williams: If it wasn't for Bailey and Sensabaugh, the biggest headline of the night would be that Cody Williams looked really comfortable out there. Perhaps the most comfortable he's looked since coming into the NBA. Granted, he didn't look too bad in last year's Summer League, but this seemed different.

18 pointson six-for--10 shooting isn't too shabby, especially for Williams. The biggest takeaway is how aggressive he was, which was a problem for him his rookie year. That included a clutch and-one, which has got to make Utah excited.

It might be a little optimistic to believe Williams can play this role immediately in Year 2, but it's not too optimistic to believe he could be so much better as a sophomore.

Grade: A

Isaiah Collier: On the surface, Collier didn't necessarily all-around terrible. 13 points, five assists, and three steals wouldn't normally look too bad in the Summer League, but there are other aspects that make it worse. He shot three-for-seven from the free throw line and his inability to space the floor still rears its ugly head.

For as much as good Summer League performance needs to be taken with a big grain of salt when evaluating talent, so do the bad performances. Plus, to be fair, he looked much better in the second half compared to the first, but Collier looked out of control. Maybe he thinks he's too good for the Summer League, but that was ugly to see from him.

It's hard not to read into the fact that Utah closed with Walter Clayton Jr. instead of Collier in the game's closing minutes. Speaking of!

Grade: D

Walter Clayton Jr.: For as bad as Collier was, Clayton technically speaking didn't look too much better. In fact, his statline looks demonstrably worse than Colliers. Only four points to go with one-for-four shooting along with six turnovers is pretty laughable considering the criticism Collier got.

But then that begs the question why was he finishing the game over Collier? Well, because the offense simply looked more crisp with Clayton. Plus-minus is also a flimsy stat, but it's telling that Clayton finished with the highest plus-minus out of everyone with a plus-11.

We're only two games into Summer League, but these are the kind of indications that fans should definitely keep their eyes on leading up the season.

Grade: B-

Kyle FIlipowski: It's a litlte nutty that Filipowski comes up last here because he actually showed a few things. He may not have lit the box score up, but five offensive rebounds to go with 13 rebounds total. He also had three steals and a block. It's not the most efficient night shooting-wise, four-for-12, but Fillipowski held his own.

The reason why this deserves more attention is that with Collins gone, there will be more eyes on Filipowski in Year 2. There were no complaints about him after how well he fared as a rookie. Now that the training wheels are coming off, Filipowski has to show more to his game.

This is pretty encouraging, and luckily because of the other Jazzmen's efforts, they didn't need his scoring. Even so, he had some nice highlights to go with his performance.

Grade: B
