7/8/2004

Chicago (July 8, 2004) - Former Loyola University Chicago men's basketball player David Bailey will be competing for the San Antonio Spurs in the Rocky Mountain Revue League which runs July 17-23 in Salt Lake City. The 5-foot-7 guard will be joined by a few familiar names on the Spurs entry in the league, including Andre Brown (DePaul), Romain Sato (Xavier) and former Chicago Bull Ronald Dupree.

Bailey had a standout career at Loyola from 1999-2003, racking up 1,933 points to rank third on the school's all-time chart behind only Alfredrick Hughes (2,914) and Keith Gailes (2,026). His best season came in 2001-02 when he led the Ramblers to a 17-13 record and the title game of the Horizon League Championship by averaging 21.7 ppg.

Last season, the Chicago native was sensational in his first year of professional basketball playing for the Idaho Stampede of the Continental Basketball Association. Bailey earned CBA Rookie of the Year accolades after putting up 12.9 ppg, 3.5 rpg and 7.5 apg while shooting 54 percent from the field and 80 percent from the foul line.

Games in Salt Lake City will be played at Salt Lake Community College's Redwood Campus. The Spurs will face the Charlotte Bobcats, Portland Trail Blazers, Chicago Bulls, Indiana Pacers, Phoenix Suns and Denver Nuggets during competition.
