Syracuse Basketball: Darius Bazley renounces decision to play in G-League

Five months ago, Darius Bazley attempted to become a trailblazer when abandoning Syracuse for the NBA G-League, or so we thought.

Five months later, the consummate Power-Forward has now abandoned the NBA G-League and will instead spend the upcoming season training privately ahead of the 2019 NBA Draft.

The dynamic scorer, who competed in the 2018 NBA McDonald’s All-American Game in March, told Shams Charania of The Athletic that he isn’t a firm believer that the G-League’s talent pool of NBA hopefuls possesses the same winning mentality that co-exists in all other competitive sports leagues.
