Marcus Bagley - College Basketball News & Rumors

Slated for more wing duties Bagley indicated Thursday that he will see more action on the wing in 2021-22, Doug Haller of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bagley's willingness to play more on the wing will allow the Sun Devils to have more versatility with the lineup and insert a more traditional power forward at the four to help with rebounding. It's unclear if it will reshape the starting frontcourt at all, but Bagley, Kimani Lawrence and Jalen Graham should all see plenty of playing time.

Notches first double-double in return Bagley (calf) racked up 11 points, 11 boards, three steals, two assists and a block over 41 minutes in Thursday's overtime loss to UCLA.

As long as the freshman doesn't suffer any setbacks between now and game-time, he should get the start and play his usual amount of minutes. The 6-8 forward is putting up 13.0 points and 5.8 rebounds in 27.3 minutes per game this season.

Impact Bagley has been a major source of production in the early going for Arizona State, supplying 13 points and 5.8 boards on average over the first four games. He should resume his starting duties when healthy and is considered day-to-day, so a return against Grand Canyon on Sunday doesn't seem off the table if he doesn't make a major turnaround within the next 24 hours.
