It has not been confirmed or denied that Utah was that team. On Friday, ESPN's Brian Windhorst said on Get Up that the Jazz will "not budge" if pressured by Bailey's camp and that he will begin his career with the team.

In the days leading up to the draft, reports suggested that Utah and Charlotte -- which held the No. 4 pick -- were not among Bailey's preferred destinations. The Washington Wizards at No. 5 were reported to be the team Bailey's camp had circled. When asked if he knew the Jazz were seriously interested, Bailey said he had "no idea."

It's also not entirely clear where Bailey would've preferred to be. He canceled plans to work out for the 76ers last minute, and they're a popular, big-market team with stars that plays not far from Bailey's college home in Rutgers.
