He shot 42% from three and 7.5 assists. He isn't a lights out shooter but he can keep a defender honest. But more importantly he would fit well if Buddy comes off the bench because he is a good facilitator.
For a 3rd PG you could do much worse.

Does anybody see Norris Cole getting signed by anybody this summer?? I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't have a job next season
I really think Bazemore is going to resign with the Hawks. Barnes is going to go to the highest bidder which will be about 22 mil. That is WAY to much money for a role player and a potential 3rd option. I would rather start Q Pon and get Crabbe or Hakless at a cheaper rate.
Let's just go get wade
Man, if our options at small forward this season boil down to Barnes at a max contract vs Bazemore at an inflated one, put me down for none of the above. Holding out hope that Demps/Ferry can land us a pretty decent small forward via trade without killing our cap room for the next 3 years.
I just wonder who would actually be on the trade market?
Zach Lowe and Mark Stein mentioned something they have heard from a number of GM's that there is likely to be a lot of hesitation to trade away players currently under contract because the cost you know is much better then the cost you don't. Guys like Ariza on 8 million a year looks like a downright steal when guys like Harrison Barnes are gonna get 22 million.
FA perspective Update:
Barnes - Perfect size, but his game is underwhelming.
Bazemore - Hes a SG, not worth overpaying.
Harkless - Really concerned with his FT shooting and ability to knock down the 3, but he had really good impact on that Portland team.
Batum - Probably the right guy, hope we sign him
Solomon Hill - Really don't want to overpay this guy.
Jeff Green - Can't polish a turd, no thanks
Wes Johnson - Would take him super cheap if others fell through
Parsons - Dallas' defense was at its worst with him on the floor. Hes overrated and I don't wanna have to bite my nails hoping he doesn't ruin his knee again.
Sooo my FA big board is now:
1) Batum 4/80mil
2) Harkless 4/48mil
3) Wes Johnson 1/5mil
Grab Ilyasova off waivers if OKC go that way.
Asik/Davis/Ajinca
Davis/Ilyasova/Diallo
Harkless/QPon/Ennis
Hield/Reke/Douglas
Jrue/Reke/Frazier
I could live with that, even if its a little underwhelming.
The 76ers, Nets and Kings are among the teams interested in Portland restricted free agent Allen Crabbe, sources say.
Rumor is Solomon Hill wants 9 to 13 per. Give me him or Harkless and Terrance Jones and call it a day
What are you talking about? How is he being over rated and he didn't even come close to performing with the Blasers the way he is playing here. Kid did nothing but play like the best backup PG in the league and his #s proved it. Not to mention he was actually winning some games and keeping us close in many with a team limping to the finish line. Was putting up near double digit assist every game and rebounding like a SF while scoring as well. Also his defense definitely was not bad and was definitely above average. Nobody is calling him a starter but as a backup PG he can absolutely be a very good one.
So if Bazemore is the better player why in the world is he going to get $6 million less according to you and others? Makes absolutely no sense at all. I'm sure you will pull something out of a hat to back it up and it will make very little sense as usual. Must be continuity!
Do you guys think there is anyway to acquire Jerami Grant from the sixers?
Okay you guys are seriously tripping on this. Why don't we just chill and see what happens.Like what McNamara is doing right now.
You sound like a drunk rambling down the street arguing with himself. If you can't even grasp what the discuss is about please stop trying to be a part of it.
You've got so many arguments going on with different people you can't even keep track with who said what. I never said Bazemore is the better player. I said they're a push.
