Message: [QUOTE="reedny, post: 2569093, member: 1423"] Bazely definitely didn't swerve into the G-League for $26k. Whether it was an agent or someone else that dropped the bag, we don't know. But I doubt it was an endorsement. Endorsement contracts are normally advertised ... (publicity is the financial purpose of an endorsement). In the past, most basketball endorsements were offered after the draft. Recently, that has changed. But only for lottery-quality players. Bazely may get there some day, but he picked probably the worst path and I would be surprised if he won any significant endorsements unless he started appearing high on the mocks (at least a year away, if he's able to earn enough minutes and play well enough to distinguish himself and doesn't get hurt).
