I’m sure it’s been said...
I tuned in to watch Bazley for a bit, looked real good.
But the game, is unwatchable.
Bazley reminded me of Tayshaun Prince. Solid overall game. This is not a game where he will stand out. They had him playing the 4 and sometimes the 5 in man. If he plays in Pros, it will be as a 3 unless he gains 30 pounds of strength.
I don't see him as a freshman phenom. I hope people temper their expectations and don't compare him to Melo. When we press next year, I hope he guards the inbound passer and acts as our trap guy.
Just finished watching the replay. Really sloppy but a few observations.
Really like I think it was CuseinCincy’s comparison of Bazely to Tayshaun Prince. Really smooth. Does everything well. Long. Sneaky athletic, super fluid, but I wouldn’t say explosive. He looked really good aside from a few lacksadaiscal plays. He’s going to be awesome but I’m hesitant in saying he’s going to come in right away and dominate.
Nassir Little. Wow. He’s going to be a pain. Power, handle, good touch, threw a lob leading a break, hit a 3, hit a long step-back 2.
Barrett and Naz Reid. Both freaks. Will be unfair guarding those guys.
Langford looks terrific too. Reminds me of a more explosive Malachi.
Crazy how well Zion moves and his explosion for his size/girth. Pretty good handle too.
Garland is going to be nice for Vandy. Reddish was sort of invisible as was Quinerly.
I see some similarities but Prince was thin even compared to Bazely. Also, the baseline drive where he got called for a travel showed an explosive first step that was not expected. Also Prince really was more of a perimeter player and not as willing to mix it up at the rim until later in his career and Bazely already attacks the glass. Prince averaged a little over 6 boards a game as an upperclassmen. Great player but played much more like a shooting guard than a forward in college.

Yeah maybe more of a mix of Odom/Prince. Good first step like you said. Willing to mix it up but he’s going to pinball around or travel against certain teams a la Marek. Needs to get stronger. SUPER versatile. Nice stroke. Should be a great complement to Brissett. That Nassir Little though...damn.
I don't think that means what you think it means.He's long and lean and can shoot the 3, he reminds me of a poor man's Tony Scott.
Zags compared him to Ben Simmons.Why do we always compare lefties to lefties?
Bazely compared himself to Ben Simmons. I also don't see it. He's definitely a capable ball handler though.Zags compared him to Ben Simmons.
So my buddy wasn’t alone. I don’t see Simmons.
The symbol?More athletic Prince
I think Simmons lite is not a bad comp set. Not nearly as phyical but overall skill set is similar. He clearly gets team. Im excited.I love Bazley’s game.
He can’t play the 5 in the zone though.
He needs to put on good weight ASAP. To absorb all the contact he is going to draw.
I like the comparison to Lamar Odom on the Lakers.
That is his game.
Create for others and still get his within the offense.
My buddy I was watching with a UNC fan said he reminded him of Ben Simmons. I don’t agree because Bazley has a better shot than Simmons.
