Jerryd Andrew Bayless (born August 20, 1988) is an American professional basketball player for the Philadelphia 76ers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played a year of college basketball for the Arizona Wildcats after playing high school basketball at St. Mary's High School in Phoenix, where he scored a career-high 52 points in a loss to eventual state champions, Mesa Mountain View. He was selected 11th overall in the 2008 NBA draft by the Indiana Pacers and then traded to the Portland Trail Blazers.

College career

As a freshman at Arizona in 2007–08, Bayless led the Wildcats in scoring (19.7 points) and assists (4.0) while averaging 2.7 rebounds on 45.8% shooting (40.7% 3-point shooting) in 35.7 minutes in 30 games. He became the first freshman in school history to lead Arizona in scoring, as well as the first freshman to win team MVP honors since Sean Elliott did so in 1985–86. He earned multiple awards including All-Pac-10 second team and All-Freshman honors, First Team All-District honors by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) and United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA), named Honorable Mention All-America by The Associated Press, and was a finalist for the Wooden Award.[1] The Wildcats finished the regular season with a 19–14 record (8–10 in the Pac-10), making it through to the first round of the NCAA tournament where they lost to West Virginia.[2] On April 5, 2008, he declared for the NBA draft, forgoing his final three years of college eligibility.[3]

Professional career

Portland Trail Blazers (2008–2010)

Bayless was selected by the Indiana Pacers with the 11th overall pick in the 2008 NBA draft. He was subsequently traded by Indiana with Ike Diogu to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for Jarrett Jack, Josh McRoberts and Brandon Rush on July 9.[1] At the 2008 Las Vegas Summer League, he earned the Most Valuable Player award after leading the league in scoring at 29.8 points per game and leading the Trail Blazers to a 3–2 win/loss record.[4]

Bayless scored a career-high 31 points on December 23, 2009 against the San Antonio Spurs, setting a franchise record for points by a Trail Blazer making his first career start.[5]

New Orleans Hornets (2010)

Bayless was traded by the Trail Blazers to the New Orleans Hornets in exchange for a 2011 first-round draft pick on October 23, 2010.[6]

Toronto Raptors (2010–2012)

Bayless was traded by New Orleans with Peja Stojaković to the Toronto Raptors in exchange for David Andersen, Marcus Banks and Jarrett Jack on November 20, 2010.[7] On December 11, 2010, he tied his career-high of 31 points against the Detroit Pistons. He recorded a double-double with 11 points and 10 assists on February 22, 2011 against the Charlotte Bobcats, tying career-highs by shooting 11-of-12 from the free throw line, making him the first NBA player to record a points/assists double-double without a made field goal since Magic Johnson did so in 1996.[1]

In the lockout shortened 2011–12 season, Bayless set career-highs in scoring (11.4 points), assists (3.8), FG% (.424), 3P% (.423) and FT% (.852) in 31 games (11 starts).[1]

Memphis Grizzlies (2012–2014)

On July 13, 2012, Bayless signed a two-year deal with the Memphis Grizzlies.[8] On June 30, 2013, he exercised his player option with the Grizzlies for the 2013–14 season.[9]

Boston Celtics (2014)

On January 7, 2014, Bayless was traded to the Boston Celtics in a three-team trade that involved the Grizzlies and the Oklahoma City Thunder.[10]

Milwaukee Bucks (2014–2016)

On July 31, 2014, Bayless signed with the Milwaukee Bucks.[11] He had a solid first half of the 2014–15 season before his form dropped post All-Star break. During the season, Bayless was often relied upon to carry a significant load as he knew the system and had coach Jason Kidd's trust. This was especially true in the first week that followed the All-Star break, as newly acquired Michael Carter-Williams was still nursing a toe-injury.[12]

On December 28, 2015, Bayless returned to the Bucks' lineup after missing 11 games with a left ankle sprain and led Milwaukee with 19 points and seven assists off the bench in a loss to the Dallas Mavericks.[13] He later missed six games in early January with the same injury,[14] and a further five games in late February with a left knee injury.[15]

Philadelphia 76ers (2016–present)

On July 13, 2016, Bayless signed with the Philadelphia 76ers.[16] On November 14, he was assigned to the Delaware 87ers of the NBA Development League[17] and was recalled two days later.[18] After missing the first 13 games of the 2016–17 season with a left wrist injury, he made his season debut for Philadelphia on November 21, scoring four points in 16 minutes against the Miami Heat.[19]
