Rutgers added one of the best players in the country when Bailey signed with the Scarlet Knights. He can play and guard every position on the floor while showing off his athleticism. He plays way above the rim, scoring and grabbing multiple rebounds at the small forward position. Bailey can shoot the rock and facilitate the basketball when needed.
