(Cincinnati) Princeton High School graduate Darius Bazley was picked 23rd in the 1st round of the NBA Draft last week, by the Oklahoma City Thunder. Bazley attacked the draft in a different fashion then his other counter parts by not playing basketball last season. Committed to Ohio State, then Syracuse, then saying it would play in the G-League Klutch Management led by Rich Paul thought it would be best not to play and just work on his physical conditioning. While doing so he landed a shoe deal/internship with New Balance.
After being drafted New Balance dropped a commercial with Bazley as a the lead. Check it out!
