Read EvaluationVan Johnson | Prep Hoops Scout
An intriguing long rangy wing. Moved extremely well without the ball. Still learning how to play on both ends. Decision-making is a work in progress. Tends to settle for contested jumpers rather than using his length to get all the way to the rim. Still feeling his way through playing against tougher competition. Baer is a name to monitor for the next couple of years because his best basketball is ahead of him.

Bailey has an elite mid-range game for his age, capable of facing up from the high-post, finding the middle of a 2-3 zone, and pulling up off the dribble. Combine that with his positional size and athleticism, and Bailey has the potential to be a really good player down the line.
