Career highlights and awards

Marvin Bagley III (born March 14, 1999) is an American professional basketball player for the Sacramento Kings of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played college basketball for the Duke Blue Devils and was a 2018 Consensus All-American. He was selected with the second overall pick by the Kings in the 2018 NBA draft.

High school career

Bagley attended Corona del Sol High School in Tempe, Arizona as a freshman and Hillcrest Prep in Phoenix, Arizona as a sophomore.[1] During that sophomore year, he was teammates with future #1 pick Deandre Ayton. In 2016, he transferred to Sierra Canyon School in Chatsworth, California.[2][3] He was ruled ineligible to play his first year at Sierra Canyon due to California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) rules.[4][5] That ruling would help play a factor into reclassifying his senior year of high school up a year early. In his last season for Sierra Canyon, he averaged 24.9 points per game and 10.1 rebounds per game. He would be named for the All-USA Today First-team in 2017.

Bagley was rated as a five-star recruit throughout his high school career and was formerly ranked as the top player in the 2018 class before his reclassification.[6][7][8][9] His first college basketball scholarship came from Northern Arizona University when he was 14.[10]

    College career

    Before beginning what would have been considered his senior year of high school, Bagley would reclassify himself into the Class of 2017 instead, thus allowing him to enter the 2018 NBA draft as an early entry in the collegiate level.[11][12] On August 14, 2017, he announced that he successfully reclassified himself as a graduate from Sierra Canyon and is eligible to play college basketball for Duke University during the 2017–18 NCAA Division I men's basketball season.[13] While he is still a member of the Class of 2018 for Sierra Canyon, he filed for reclassification, which made him eligible for NCAA play.[14] He graduated from Sierra Canyon on September 1, 2017 and made his way onto Duke's campus after finishing up his high school academics a week later.[15][16] Bagley would make his Duke debut on November 10, 2017, recording 25 points and 10 rebounds in a win over Elon University.

    On November 24, Bagley recorded 34 points and a freshman record 15 rebounds for Duke as they defeated the Texas Longhorns 85–78 in overtime. He tied the freshman record in rebounds recorded 4 days later in their next game and scored 30 points in an 87–84 win over the Florida Gators. It would be the first time a Duke player would record such numbers for the team since the 1960s. On December 30, Bagley recorded 32 points and a record-high 21 rebounds in a 100–93 win over the Florida State Seminoles. With the 30 points and 11 rebounds Bagley III recorded on a 89–71 win over the Wake Forest Demon Deacons on January 13, 2018, he became the ACC's newest record holder for most 30 point, 10 rebound double-doubles for a season.[17] At the end of the regular season, Bagley was named both the ACC's Rookie of the Year and Player of the Year, as well as become a member of the All-ACC first team.[18] He was also named a consensus member of the All-American First-Team throughout multiple organizations. In addition to that, Bagley joined DeAndre Ayton and Trae Young to record the most freshmen players to join the consensus All-American First-Team in a season.

    Following Duke's loss in the 2018 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, Bagley announced his intention to forgo his final three seasons of collegiate eligibility and declare for the 2018 NBA draft.[19]

    Professional career

    Sacramento Kings (2018–present)

    On June 21, 2018, Bagley was selected with the second overall in the 2018 NBA draft by the Sacramento Kings, behind his former high school teammate Deandre Ayton.[20] On July 1, 2018, he officially signed a rookie scale contract with the Kings.[21]
