Marvin Bagley III is pretty good. OK, he’s very good.
Fine, he’s incredible. Stellar ball handling skills. Strong at the post. Someone who knows how to score by any means necessary.
But those are the only compliments I’m giving to a 6-foot-11, 220-pound, No. 1 high school recruit who didn’t sign with Kentucky.
Bagley deserves the praise. Back in December, I watched him play at the GEICO ESPN High School Showcase. He and Romeo Langford brought in top scouts to that New Castle, Ind., gymnasium. Rick Pitino sat quietly in the front row. Bill Self was a few tables down, laughing and signing autographs.
