The first-year AS of Rutgers, Bailey, the choice planned n ° 3, will declare the draft of the NBA 2025 and will sign with Omar Cooper of Lifestyle Sports Agency, he said on Wednesday in ESPN.
“I would like to thank everyone at Rutgers,” said Bailey. “The community to support us and travel across the country to look at us. My teammates, coaches and support staff. Donors. The strength and packaging coach, nutritionist, managers and also security guards, Rob and Julio, for keeping us safe. Everyone pushed me to improve me every day, to be the best version of me.
“I loved being at university and playing university basketball. The student section, songs, second-hand games, victories and losses. All this.”
Bailey was appointed to the Big Ten All-Freshman team and was the third All-Big Ten team after an average of 17.6 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game. He entered the draft after having twinned with the first year goalkeeper Dylan Harper, the choice planned n ° 2, to lead a Scarlet Knights team who did not have much talent beyond the star duo and finished 15-17.
“I did good,” said Bailey. “I could have done much better, but I have matured this season. The game slowed down for me. My IQ has become higher. I became faster and much stronger. My coat and my shot are tightening. Rutgers made me keep everyone, guards with electric advantages. I learned a lot.”
At 6 feet 10 inches, Bailey has exceptional prowess. He struck 47 3 points in 30 games and broke out three times for more than 30 points in play Big Ten. He is one of the youngest prospects of this project, without being 19 years before August, and brings an insatiable aggressiveness and a defensively high level intensity to complete his exceptional score instincts.
“I am far from reaching my potential,” said Bailey. “I am still young, I always learn, but I work every day. My creation of games is improving. The NBA teams will offer an energetic player ready to speak, direct and put people in the right positions. I can bring a good team to a better level.”
Bailey is currently in Atlanta, preparing for the predraft process. He said he was watching the NBA games every night and studies Kevin Durant, Jayson Tatum and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander closely.
The combination of the NBA draft will be held from 11 to 18 May in Chicago, and the draft will be from June 25 to 26 in New York.
