Brendan Bailey brought Marquette two-way size, shooting touch, and steady improvement
In the 2019-20 season, Brendan Bailey gave Marquette a versatile 6-foot-8 forward who averaged 7.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, and hit 38.3% from three in 30 starts, showing real stretch-forward value[7][9]. His appeal was not just the box score: he was a productive rebounder, a capable floor-spacer, and a former Most Improved Player for Marquette, which hints at a coachable, upward-trending profile[3][5]. If a team wants length, shooting, and a willing fit-piece with some pro-level polish, he made sense—though he later left school to pursue a pro career[2][5].
