Darius Bazley - 2019 NBA Draft Prospect

[exstatic]

And I’ve heard that this is a thin draft, yet Bazley at 29 could very well be another Siakam.

That's a dream. Pascal Siakam had a redshirt season, and two years of NCAA ball under his belt when he declared. Bazely needs SO MUCH to break right for him to be even an NBA starter. His last game was in a high school gym against kids. His physical profile is good to great, but the shoulder of the proverbial NBA highway is littered with such former prospects.

You can't predict people who come out of nowhere. It doesn't even make sense. Stats and can explain how someone who came out of nowhere became really good, but what they don't show is how many guys with a lot of those stats remain obscure.

I think as a prospect he does stand out though. 6'9" with good wingspan and skills with a smooth jumper and outside game is hard to find imo. Hes stuck at early 2nd round material because he probably cant help before his rookie deal is up so 1st round teams will likely pass but h 2nd round teams will move up for him I think and should. Maybe Spurs can move down from 29 and pick him up. Spurs will have lots of great options for a more ready one at 19.
