Bailey is a talented right-handed forward that has come up playing with USA Basketball. In 2024-25 at Rutgers as a freshman, Bailey averaged 17.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1 steal, 1.3 blocks, and 1.3 assists. He shot 34.6% 3-pt. fg., and 69.2% FT. Bailey's DEFRTG was slightly worse than the Rutgers team DEFRTG. Bailey had significantly more turnovers than assists. He has a quick release on his jump shot. He jumped a 34.5" max. vert at the NBA Draft Combine. Bailey has undeniable talent. He can score one-on-one at 6'8". He also has some holes in his game. His overall "team" feel is less than ideal. His shot selection needs seasoning. We think Bailey will be picked third. We view him as a potential mid-tier starter in the NBA. His ceiling is high.
