Amari Bailey, a freshman standout for UCLA last season, was selected by the Charlotte Hornets with the 41st overall pick in the second round of Thursday’s NBA draft in Brooklyn.

In his lone college season, Bailey averaged 11.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists over 30 games.

Despite missing a month with a foot injury, the Chicago native led all players with four Pac-12 Conference player of the week honors and eventually landed on the conference’s all-freshman team alongside teammate and Pac-12 freshman of the year Adem Bona.

In the NCAA tournament is where Bailey elevated his game. With national defensive player of the year Jaylen Clark out for the postseason, Bailey bumped his averages to 17.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists while shooting 56.1% over the final six games between the Pac-12 and NCAA tournaments.

“Amari is a super-talented young man with tremendous upside,” UCLA head coach Mick Cronin said in a statement. “He got better every day with us at UCLA, and he is going to have a long NBA career. We are very happy for Amari and proud to see him get drafted. All Bruins are excited that he chose UCLA, and we’re looking forward to watching him build his career as a Charlotte Hornet.”

Bailey is the UCLA program’s 124th all-time draft selection.

Earlier in the night, UCLA teammate Jaime Jaquez Jr. became the first player from the Pac-12 selected when the Miami Heat used the 18th overall pick to take him in the first round.

Later in the second round, the Minnesota Timberwolves selected Jaylen Clark with the 53rd overall pick to bring UCLA’s all-time total of draft picks to 125.

It is the sixth time at least three Bruins have been selected in the same draft since the league moved to a two-round format in 1989.
