Summary:

Marcus Bagley is an athletic, energetic swingman that can score the basketball in a variety of ways.  He is the younger brother of Marvin Bagley III. He’s played surprisingly few games in college, as it was derailed by injuries, and he embarked on a relatively unremarkable collegiate career in which he played just 17 games over the past three seasons. While he will need to make more jump shots consistently and improve his decision-making ability in games, Marcus Bagley is a versatile player that could project into a 3 and D type of role in the NBA.
