REPORT: Darius Bazley opts for G League, won’t play for Syracuse

Remember how happy you were when you thought the Syracuse Orange were getting a five-star forward to add to an experienced and promising team for 2018-19?

Welp, treasure those moments. Because it wouldn’t be a Syracuse offseason without this entire fan base (and the process of covering the program) getting thrown for a complete loop.

Top-10 prospect Darius Bazley, fresh off an 11-point performance in the McDonald’s All-American game, will head straight to the NBA G League according to a report from Yahoo’s Shams Charania. We knew in advance he’d likely be a lottery pick in 2019. But by going to the G League, he’ll be showing his skills against fellow pros and earning some money while doing so.
