OKC Thunder rookie Darius Bazley won’t land on an All-Rookie team. However, as the T.I. writers noted yesterday the forward has shown potential and at 19 has an untapped ceiling.
The fact he’ll miss the cut isn’t an indictment of his play. Rather, this campaign and draft class are one of the deepest in years. In fact, there are at least 15 players who could present strong arguments to be on an All-Rookie team. the second team, in particular, is up for debate.
As for the first team, they’ll be no argument Ja Morant and Zion Williamson are shoo-ins.
