"If there's one thing new Nets forward Darius Bazley is going to do in Brooklyn - it's play some defense. Bazley, the versatile, prep-to-pro forward who signed a one-year deal with the Nets this offseason, says he's excited to bring his game to New York. "This is like the Mecca of basketball," Bazley said in his introductory interview with reporters on Thursday. "So just playing in front of fans that appreciate the game, that love the game of basketball, love the sport.""
""Being able to match-up one through four, one through five, guard bigger wings, be able to guard smaller guards, as well - I'm looking forward to that," he said on Thursday. Out of high school, Bazley skipped college and opted to go for the G-League, then skipped the G-League to prepare for the NBA Draft."
Darius Bazley signed a one-year deal with the Brooklyn Nets this offseason and is eager to play in New York. He views Brooklyn as a basketball Mecca and looks forward to playing in front of appreciative fans. Bazley has relationships with Cam Johnson, Mikal Bridges and Ben Simmons. At 6-foot-8, he has played both power forward and center during his four-year NBA career. He expects defense to be his primary way to earn minutes by guarding positions one through five. Bazley entered the NBA after skipping college and the G-League and was the 23rd pick in 2019.
