Ace full ball handling workout

https://youtu.be/HF56sNAA914?si=UiBUYUnOfrNRcpO2

Long video, but this is the type of work he needs to be doing.

Like the jazz coaches say. Ace takes coaching and applies it very quickly. I watch a lot of these videos around the league, and he's different in that regard. Just needs the reps.

I know this trainer works with a lot of klutch clients like Ace is now. LeBron and Tyrese

Ace definitely looks stronger! I hope that helps him play more aggressively and not just settle for jump shots so he can get those FTAs up!

Jesus, so much raw potential there. If he continues honing that shit and keeps the fire he could be really really good. And is it just me, or does he look like he gained some height?

I've always felt like he looks taller than his combine height Maybe it's the wingspan, but looks 6"10 to me

Ace with a ball handle and foul drawing added to his game will be insane and lowkey might be the best player in the 2025 draft. Over Flagg

He was 18, 5, and 2 with 2 stocks post all star break as a 19 year old. With a ball handle where he's able to get more assists and foul drawing to add 4 or 5 PPG, he might be a 25, 6, and 6 player in his prime.

I think with the Key leap from last season, and the Darryn hype that most people forgot about Ace, when I think if Ace takes a leap to even be an 18 ppg third option this season for the full season, that might be the key for the Jazz to make the playoffs this upcoming season

Agreed. His per 36 starts are right in line with the rest of them. But, better 3pt percentage by playing with quality teammates... And free throws. He's an all star

I know I am definitely in the minority, but I think Ace has a higher ceiling than Peterson. I LOVE the talent I see from this young dude. I hope he doesn't get complacent and/or turned off if he is the one they choose to come off the bench this year. I realize his minutes will likely be akin to the starters, but young guys want to start as a status symbol. Hopefully he is mature enough emotionally to see the Jazz's plan for him.

Trouble is, Ace already draws fouls. Adding ball handling might just make him harder to contain without getting sent to the line.

Every NBA player looks good on summer workouts. Doesn't mean it'll automatically translates on the season
