Darius Bazley Prospect for 2019 draft.

So he's not gonna play in college, the GLeague, or any professional league? That seems like a huge mistake

You need to be a very high level prospect to get away with that

Wow! Can't blame him for taking the money.

So my take is Paul is pulling some strings with NB, NB do it because they want in with his other clients.
And if the kid happens to turn into a player good for everyone.

Mitchell Robinson basically did this, without the million dollar paycheck. Anfernee Simons also just opted for prep academy for a year over college or any professional league. Guys are really starting to find other options.

Yeah, true... the issue is those guys got drafted extremely, extremely low for their HSSr USA ranking going those routes.
