Darius Bazley Made A Trailblazing Move That Didn’t Work! Stunted Growth
Спорт
In November 2017 Darius Bazley signed his letter of intent to play for Syracuse as one of the top high school prospects, actually ranked 17th overall by 247 and the #4 small forward, in the RJ Barrett, Zion Williamson class, to many of his peers surprise by support. By March 2018 Bazley changed his mind and announced he instead choose to become the first top high school prospect to chose the G League route instead of going to college. Or at least he was supposed to be, before Jalen Green had to take on that responsibility because Darius Bazley actually backed out of it, deciding to sign a deal with New Balance to be an intern for them, marketing their apparel and digital footwear for a guaranteed 1 million dollars, that could’ve reached up to 14 million with what the agreement called “hitting performance incentives”. So basically leaving high school he took a year off competition to work out by himself and got paid to do it in New Balance brand basketball sneakers and on court apparel. It didn’t completely turn out bad, as he still made the NBA and played 4 seasons, but now what? He was recently waived by the Brooklyn Nets a few months after being signed, and is now playing in the G League without a major pay day or call up in sight. What happened to Darius Bazley.

With a few more things added to his bag Bazley could be something. Wonder if he'll get significant opportunity again though.

TBH what DB did was a stretch but it still garnered him time in the league He still is a raw prospect. This era is too stressful as in a player has to explode as soon as he touch ground.

Bazley did the right thing, he just not good enough , he got a couple fat bags of $ to set himself up later in life, all of his decisions were the most low risk ones to secure the bag
This is what I dont like with Rich Paul. They're the ones who insist their decisions despite their players not liking these deals that they are to sign. Countless times, Rich Paul just leaves the ship when he feels it's starting to shrink. Look at Nerlens Noel who they talked to sign a one year deal instead of taking that 75 mil for 4 years coz they badly want to squeeze the pockets out of the Dallas Mavericks. I mean, look at how they handled that AD trade from New Orleans. It left a bland taste to the league and AD acted very unprofessional when they couldnt force him a trade to LA mid season.

Good move for him. Not a really good shooter, limited handle. He would've struggled in college. If he managed his money right he should be ok.

Baze was good for us at OKC. I was a little sad when he went to The Suns. I thought he'd be good there. They need affordable decent role players to supplement the massive contracts on their roster. And now the poor guy's out of the league.
This is when as a player you have to recognize your shortcomings and try to be the best defender/rebounder you can be.
He should of went to the g league, and now he is in the g league 😂. Rich Paul is a 3rd stage lump of cells to young players. They should avoid this dude at all cost.

Kind of besides the point but I don't think the G League ignite is a good way to develop talent. The players are just allowed to make mistakes in the name of showing flashes. Whereas college teams are actually incentivized to win and the coach has authority to bench a young guy who isn't ready. On the ignite if you're not ready they just let you keep making mistakes without a proper foundation to improve

@Tay04723 He just dropped 20 tonight, so I wouldn't say he's bad. To say he's backlogged on a team with too many centers (Isaiah Stewart, Marvin Bagley, & Jalen Duren) would be a better observation, IMO. You have to also take into account his injury history and that he was drafted onto a championship team (Dubz) that expected him to be an immediate contributor vs. choosing to develop him as a player, he's just incredibly unlucky. He'd be a serviceable player with a decent upside on another team in the right situation.
I really like Baze and his story but probably just not enough for my team (OKC)...although OKC is one of the best teams in the league to develop talent...New subscriber to this Gem of a channel. Keep it up man 💯
Hopefully Baze comes back stronger
Boeheim was pissed when he found out
As a su fan I forgot he was about to play for us 😅
Michael foster ! G league ignite ! Didnt help him get drafted
Isaiah Todd is still playing with g league ignite !
That man got the bag he still go play in league anywhere now these days so smart move invest or go overseas and come back

I thought bro was still in okc but okc just had too many picks 😂😂 to many dudes with better upside lol
Right he thought going to the league would be a cake walk. These kids dont want to work for shit. To be great you gotta work at least 4 hours off the court without the ball (Weights,running hills, strength training,flexibility, footwork etc) daily then 4,5 hours in the gym with the ball handling, shooting, cones, free throws etc
Enough! Kid has made money every step of the way. More money then what he would earn working at the Post Office. If he didn't save anything or invest that's on him.
That's how you know he wasn't moving like that... he went to Princeton in Cincinnati and I never had any clue.
Please do Harry Giles next. He was a beast in HS. That 2017 class should have all made it. SMH
He maxed out in high school
His handle looks decent enough for a 6’8 swing jumper needs a lil work but it’s not terrible
He didn’t have that fire iron Mike had when he cut that promo in the beginning lol.
yall trippin college probably would’ve helped him …good structure especially somewhere like syracuse
Have you done Malik Newman yet..? If not that’ll be a good one
How much did he make with new balance?
Have you done one on OJ Mayo?
Do PJ dozier ? If u haven’t, Ima check ur videos
My guy DB..
Bazley will do well w Utah next year!
The difference 2 year makes. With the new NIL deal. Players can get that bag while playing ball in college
A couple things I disagree with here. Bazley would have been fine playing in G League if he chose too he was not to weak at all, and the following year as a rookie proved that as he put up great per 36 numbers and is just one of those guys that plays a lot stronger than he looks. Also it worked out because he did get picked in the 1st round which was the goal for the 15th ranked HS prospect one year removed from HS. Then he had a solid rookie year and became a starter the following 2 years. The only snag in his development was his shot not becoming consistent enough which is why OKC let him go as did the Nets. But good for the Sixers because we now got a gem on the cheap.
this is good timing cuz he just signed wit the sixers g league
