McDonald's All-American Darius Bazley has altered his decision to forego college and enter the NBA G League, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.
Per Charania's report, the top-20 recruit from the class of 2018 will spend the year training without a college team or G League organization, preparing to enter the 2019 NBA draft.
Bazley was expected to become the first highly-touted high schooler to enter the G League instead of playing college basketball, when he announced his plan to decommit from Syracuse and enter the professional ranks in April.
"Talking about it over with my group, we felt confidently that the G League wasn’t going to be needed and now I can use this time to work on my craft,” Bazley told The Athletic.
