The Decision That Changed AMARI BAILEY NBA Career! Stunted Growth

[@stuntedgrowth]

He's currently a part of the Clippers summer league team. Hopefully he finds a better fit in his next stop. I think he does have NBA talent for sure, just has to be a team that'll allow him to be him

Which is why Kiyan is going to be able to develop. Melo already said they’re not even thinking that far ahead to “one and done”. He’s going to where he can best develop his game and stay until he’s really ready.

That whole sierra canyon team (Bagley, Bailey, K Mart Jr, Cassius, Bronny and Zaire) all stunted growth prospects should be better than what they are. Kids need to focus on developing instead of trying to always capitalize on temporary hype.

[@TheFilmSpace1]

A shame

[@Rswishhh]

Bagley and Zaire were lottery picks so they had their opportunities, Kj was always gonna be a role player, Cassius and Bailey should’ve stayed in school longer, bronny pops is bron so he good no matter what😂

[@Goofbirdent]

And maybe go back to stop building super teams at every level and go to systems that focus on development

[@ThreadAndCircuses1]

These players need to stop leaving college until they have dominated at that level. One and done used to mean something, these players just try to get to the league as fast as they can just to be out in 1.5 years.

[@kdilworth291]

Preach ! So true !

[@DaGameGuy]

Think about it, if he build off how he ended last season, he could had very easily been been a Top 5 pick in this past draft due to being so weak.

[@clubreprogram892]

It was over after Drake gave him that #10 chain. His head became a hot air balloon of gas. Sad, because he had a decent freshman year to secure a starting spot in college to develop at a high profile school his sophomore year. These prospects all need to watch the Lenny Cooke movie

[@bbryant9455]

It's sad cuz he was already older in high school. The saddest part of the whole documentary is when he said "my name is Leonard. They started all this Lenny stuff" he's one of many that got pushed into the game and despite the talent, somebody all wanted something from him.

[@Noir_Nouveau]

Sierra Canyon has a NBA talent pipeline problem. Alot of talent undersize "combo guards" LJJ is one one of them.

[@notreallyafamousartist695]

They need to start forcing them to shoot in practice and force them to catch and shoot from the corner and top of the key in game. That would literally fix the issue(if they even care) they just have to be able to shoot from beyond the 3 point line and the rest of their game will be fixed as a result. Except idk if that would fix amari having less assists than turnovers that’s kind of insane for a sg/pg

[@tnekeroom9897]

As a ucla fan it’s just a really unfortunate situation. I get why he left because he really was playing great ball at the end of the season last year. Once Clark and Bona went down it figured that we had no shot at making a run in the tourney but Amari stepped up in a big way and became the number 2 scoring option behind Jaime jacquez. He even had the go ahead shot against Gonzaga in the sweet 16 with under 10 seconds that would’ve been the game winner if not for a strawther half court shot. If that shot misses, ucla wins goes to the elite 8 and I think Amari might be a first round pick and thriving rn. It just sucks because last year if he stayed which im hindsight he should’ve he would’ve been the number 1 option last year and a lottery pick instead of a guy who didn’t get his contract picked up for his second season. and ucla would’ve been atleast a tournament team and possibly a sweet 16 or better but they just didn’t have anything close to a number 1 option. I wish Amari well and i believe in him but getting picked by the hornets was the worst thing for his career. The second it happened I knew his career was in serious jeapaordy(which it is).
