Devan Bailey Leaves CCSU For Pro Career
Great Britain point guard Devan Bailey has left Central Connecticut State University two years early to focus on a professional career.
Bailey, who just finished his sophomore year at the NCAA Division 1 school where he averaged 2.7 points and 2.5 assists in 26 minutes per outing, has returned to England this summer after his call up to the GB Senior Men’s squad for the second consecuctive year, and aquired an agent.
Talking to Alec Doyle of the Chester Chronical, the 6’2″ defensive stopper said:
“I didn’t know why I was in college really. I had a good season at Central just gone but it was a little tough to get game time with so many guards there.
“Players want to play and I want to make this work now.”
Bailey appears to be looking at options in both Europe and the British Basketball league. He continued;
“My agent said most British Basketball League clubs are not really active in making signings until August so things will be quiet, so at least I have some time and some games before then.
“I already have Team GB on my CV as well which is great so hopefully I’ll be able to attract some interest from Europe or the BBL.”

Do you like our work?
We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.
We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.
We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.
If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.
We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
