Bailey had a nice HS career but he became a victim of the hype machine starting in his 8th grade year.
I can't fault the guy....he got his education paid for and played at the school that and for the coach he coveted most. That in itself is living the dream if you ask me.
I can't help but wonder if he came along now if he would have had an NBA career? The game from HS to NBA is so much different now than it was back than in terms of the AAU system, exposure to play other great HS players from across the country....I think he did play overseas for a couple years and maybe played in the states for a team outta Ft. Wayne....can't remember the league it was....some sort of D-league for the NBA before it got backing by the NBA.
