Maybe Bazely isn't as dumb as people on this board made him seem.
Bazely is a real talent, and a prototypical Syracuse wing, but he played against weak competition in High School, and would have had an adjustment period coming to college.
He also didn't bring a lot of unique skills to this particular Syracuse team. Think of him as Dolzezaj but with a better handle - and I don't think he would have been better than Dolezaj at the start of the season. He was going to have to really fight and claw for PT here, and I don't think he would have been a 1 and done (at least not a 1 and drafted in the first round).
If he can make a guaranteed million dollars to skip college with the potential to earn more ... its hard for me to say that was a bad decision.
As for Cuse, we wouldn't have Braswell (who is getting rave reviews) if Bazely came here, and I'm not sure we'd land Guerrier or Akok either. The best schools reload when kids go pro, and Syracuse not on sanctions is among the best. Seems like a happy ending on both sides.
Hoping this is Hodge vs. Warrick part 2
