At the end of the contract with the Suns, Darius Bazley will try to bounce back from the side of Brooklyn. The strong winger has signed up for a year with the Nets.
Out of the plans of the Thunder, Darius Bazley had not passed the trade deadline on the side of OKC last season. Sent to Phoenix in the exchange with Dario Saric, the 23-year-old strong winger had to settle for 7 small bits of the match. Not even used a single second in the Playoffs, we suspected that the future of Bazley was written in big dotted lines in Arizona. Prediction confirmed by Adrian Wojnarowski ofESPN, which informs us this night that the player has signed up with the Nets for a year. No amount is mentioned but one can imagine that it is a deal at the minimum or close.
Free agent F Darius Bazley has agreed to a one-year deal with the Brooklyn Nets, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul and agent Brandon Cavanaugh tell ESPN.

As part of a Nets team that has had a youthful cure in recent months, Bazley will try to revive a career that is currently struggling to really take off. The first steps at the Thunder had been encouraging but since then we have seen a lot of irregularity and a real difficulty in reaching a level. It will be interesting to see what Jacque Vaughn has planned for the 23-year-old. With Cam Johnson, Royce O’Neale or even Dorian Finney-Smith, it’s not as if we lacked options at position 4 on the Nets side. In a small ball configuration, he could come and relieve Nic Claxton for a few minutes as a pivot. A lower risk bet for Sean Marks and the Nets given the newcomer’s age and contract.
Since his NBA debut, Darius Bazley has played in 228 games averaging 9.1 points and 5.3 rebounds in just under 24 minutes played on average per game.
