Darius Bazley (SF Oklahoma City Thunder)

New Balance huh? While almost all of it isn't guaranteed, a million is a lot for someone that might never play in the NBA. Desperate move for a running shoe company to enter the basketball world.

Well, guess it only takes one person/company to come save him from otherwise awful decisions.

Like the 2nd post said... almost guaranteed someone else from Rich Paul’s stable will be signing with New Balance .. the question is when it will be announced... I do hate the rewarding people for bad choices that looks like what this is.

Now Boeheim is taking veiled shots at LeBron for helping Bazley. Not surprising considering Jim is a major douche. Jim's words say one thing, but you can tell he is still royally pissed that Bazley jilted him. Bet you in some way Jim paid to get Bazley to sign for him and is angry he didnt get any ROI.
Plus he's a straight up murderer, so

DARIUS BAZLEY
DECOMMITTED ON APRIL 26, 2017
Both Bazley and Justin Ahrens committed to Ohio State on Aug. 27, 2017. Though Ahrens just ended his second year as a Buckeye, Bazley never got close to playing a game for either Matta or Holtmann.

The top-ranked Ohioan in the 2018 recruiting cycle decommitted from Ohio State on April 26, 2017. He ethered the state of the program on the way out the door, noting the Buckeyes “didn’t even make the NIT.” Three months later, Bazley pledged to play for Syracuse. Yet, even after signing his National Letter of Intent and playing in the 2018 McDonald's All-American Boys Game, he announced he’d skip college to play in the G League.

Not shockingly, plans again changed. Bazley instead took a highly publicized three-month, $1 million New Balance internship, spent the year working out then got picked 23rd overall. The rookie was putting up 4.5 points and grabbing 3.7 rebounds in 17.2 minutes per game before the season got put on pause.
