“I take pride in my decision. There are no regrets at all. At the end of the day, people are going to do what they want to do. Whether it’s going to college, whether it’s skipping college to go to the NBA, whether it’s quitting basketball altogether — people will make their choices. This decision is what I wanted to do, and I embrace that. It’s my life, my decision, my path and my journey.” Bazley has been part of five-on-five games consisting of NBA players at local gyms in L.A. this summer, and he explained his new decision while waiting his turn to enter a recent run at Loyola Marymount University. He starred at Princeton High School in Cincinnati, committed to Syracuse and has been projected as a top-10 pick in the 2019 NBA draft. He wanted to become the first top prospect to forgo college and make the professional jump in the G League, but a closer inspection proved there are obstacles.
When Princeton (Cincinnati) forward Darius Bazley, who is ranked No. 9 overall in the ESPN 100, announced March 29 that he would enter the G-League instead of suiting up at Syracuse next season, the consensus among elite underclassmen was, well, “Huh?” “I didn’t even know you could do that,” said Little Elm (Texas) point guard R.J. Hampton, who is ranked No. 2 overall in the ESPN 25 for 2020. “I had no idea.”
