WESTFIELD, Ind. — Last fall, Davion Bradford confronted a choice that, on its face, appeared simple: Should he spend his junior season with CBC or Mehlville?
Over the previous eight months, the St. Louis native embarked on what amounted to a basketball sojourn. In January 2018, he decamped from CBC and embarked west to Hillcrest Prep in Arizona. And when summer arrived, the 6-foot-10, 240-pound center picked up his bags again, venturing back east to play with Oklahoma PWP on the grassroots circuit.
Returning to his home base, though, stemmed less from finding an optimal roster fit than from heartbreak.
