At the NBA draft combine, Bailey cited the Philadelphia 76ers' Paul George and Boston Celtics' Jayson Tatum as inspirations for their shot creation. He also loves the mid-range ability of Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant: Others have drawn the comparison between Bailey and Durant specifically.

In his lone year at Rutgers, Bailey averaged 17.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks a game, shooting 46% from the field and 34.6% from three. If all goes right for him, his scoring abilities as a wing could lead to a career much like Tatum's or Durant's.
