DARIUS BAZLEY (BKN)

UNDERDOG

NBA ROLE: ATHLETIC, ALL-AROUND FORWARD

 

There’s no questioning Darius Bazley’s upside as an adaptable forward in the league; slender, 6’8 lefty w/ skill as a defender & playmaker; raw ability to score off the dribble, hit pull-ups & fallaways; very athletic - Bazley likes to size up into drives (takes long strides) - needs to keep adding options when in attack mode; most effective on defense: active on the glass, uses athleticism & anticipation to put up numbers - attacks defensive end w/ aggression, able to check a variety of different matchups; high-arching triple is promising but still a work in progress; can struggle with shot selection, needs to up efficiency over 43-45% for maximum staying power; fresh start in Brooklyn (2023) - Bazley’s in play for a decent role (at the 3 & 4) in Year 5
