The Next Bagley Is On The Way And It’s No Stretch To Say He’s Going To Be Good Too

The Bagleys have moved to Sacramento to help their son, former Blue Devil Marvin, transition to the NBA. It’s a wise decision. The on-court stuff is only part of the adaptation. The off-court life is much more difficult in many ways and has wrecked a lot of promising careers so kudos to the Bagleys for not just turning a minnow loose with the sharks.

As part of the process, Marvin’s 6-7 brother, Marcus, has transferred to Sacramento’s Sheldon High, where former Duke star DeMarcus Nelson went for his senior year.

It’s quite a gift for the team. Already accomplished, it adds another highly promising talent and can make a run back to the state finals.

Also worth noting: Sheldon has something fairly rare - a highly regarded Vietnamese-American point guard. Justin Nguyen is good enough to get serious D-1 attention. We’ve seen good Chinese players and of course Jeremy Lin, from a Taiwanese family, grew up in the states and became a solid NBA player. Vietnamese though? That’s fairly new ground.
