Syracuse, N.Y. -- ESPN's NBA draft insider Jonathan Givony says there is speculation among NBA scouts that former Syracuse recruit Darius Bazley could skip G-League.

Givony attended the Nike Academy this past weekend where 26 current college players and 35 high school prospects worked out under the watchful eyes of NBA personnel.

Bazley, a 6-foot-9 forward from Cincinnati, Ohio, was one of the players invited to the event in Los Angeles.

Syracuse had recruited Bazley, a McDonald's All-American, as part of its 2018 class. But this past March, Bazley stunned the Syracuse coaching staff by reneging on his commitment and announcing his intention to play in the NBA's G-League next season.

However, according to Givony, Bazley struggled against college competition at the Nike Academy, prompting speculation that he might decide to spend the upcoming season working out privately rather than face older, most experienced players in the G-League.

"There were heightened stakes for him at this event and not many positives to take away from his performance,'' Givony writes. "There is speculation among NBA scouts that this might have been the last competitive action they will see from Bazley until the NBA pre-draft process next spring -- or even the 2019 summer league.''

That is just a small sample of Givony's observations of Bazley. To see the rest of the information on Bazley, go to the article is on ESPN's Insider page.

Givony also discusses current ACC players Jaylen Hoard (Wake Forest), Nickeil Alexander-Walker (Virginia Tech) and De'Andre Hunter (Virginia).
