Back in the 2019 NBA Draft, the OKC Thunder opted to take a swing on the upside of prep-to-pro prospect Darius Bazley with the 23 overall selection.
Throughout his tenure with the organization, he certainly showed flashes of potential as a rotation player in the association. His length proved to be a problem for opposing players when on the defensive end, while his athleticism made him a fun fastbreak option as a streaker and lob threat.
Unfortunately, said potential was never able to be displayed on a consistent enough basis, and, as a result, midway through the 2022-23 campaign, the Thunder traded Bazley to the Phoenix Suns, where he would ride out the remainder of the season before spending the next two years bouncing in and out of the league.
