The Nets continue to adjust their workforce with a third rookie made official by ESPN. After Dennis Smith Jr and Lonnie Walker IV, Brooklyn fleshed out its racket by signing Darius Bazleyfree of any commitment after the Suns’ decision not to activate its “qualifying offer” for 2023-2024.
The details of the agreement between Brooklyn and Darius Bazley have not yet been disclosed except that the contract is for one year. What is certain is that the post 4 mobile will undoubtedly have more opportunities to express themselves than in the collective of the Suns brought to aim for the heights with the Beal-Booker-Durant trio in charge.
Drafted by OKC in the first round in 2019, the interior had been able to demonstrate his “slasher” qualities for two seasons before being gradually removed from the Thunder project, until the trade which sent him to Phoenix against Dario Saric (and a 2029 second-round draft pick) last February.
