2019 NBA Mock Draft 3.0
By Jakob Ashlin
Scouting Report. 30. player. 89. Pick Analysis. Small Forward. New Balance. Darius Bazley
We actually had Darius Bazley being selected by the Milwaukee Bucks in our previous mock draft.
Bazley is a very talented prospect, but his draft stock will only become harder to gauge as the draft approaches. Bazley was a five star recruit out of high school. He has a well rounded offensive game and the potential to defend all five positions on defense.
He would likely be locked in as a first round pick, if it was not for his puzzling situation. Bazley opted to not play college basketball and was going to play in the G-League. However, he changed his mind once again and his agent Rich Paul landed him an internship at New Balance where he is set to be paid approximately one million dollars.
As a result, scouts have not seen Bazley on the court this season and he is missing out on game action that could further develop his game. Nevertheless, Bazley would be a steal at 30th overall for the Bucks.
