Alex Len is looking really good while being surrounded with terrible teammates
More on Bazz
Anyone know that Bazz has Tourette's Syndrome?
"I told him straight-up, if you're gonna play you can't be having episodes out there on the court," Holmes said. "I told him it was in him to control it on his own. He'd have to."Added Muhammad: "My dad definitely didn't let me feel sorry for myself or anything like that, and now I understand why. I overcame that for the most part. Those guys picking on me made me want to just destroy them. That's where it all started for me. That's where the ruthless killer in me was born.""Killers are just born," said Austin Rivers, who led Duke in scoring as a freshman before declaring for the NBA draft. "It's just in you. That's what I love about Shabazz. I can identify with the killer in him.""When the guys guarded Shabazz, they knew to put in a mouthpiece," Rice said. "It's not even anything dirty; he'll just do what he has to do to dominate. Mentality-wise, he's cut from the same mold as Kobe Bryant."
Like Bryant, Muhammad owns the on-court "jerk" label.

"I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

Found some examples of Scottie Pippin and Kobe not appreciating not getting the ball in a clutch moment.
Not to mention that if you watch the shot Drew made, it was a very bad shot to take.
I never had a problem with him wanting the ball that bad to close the game. The way he handled it was not ideal, but when your best player wants the ball to close it's a good thing. If Drew misses, no one cares.Originally Posted by Eman5805
If Drew had missed then Bazz's reaction wouldn't have been blown out of proportion as much. Winners want the ball in their hands at the end.
How did he do in this last tourney game when he had the ball in his hands?
If you Jimmer it, they will come.
LOL, See i don't even know why you're offended when people say you troll.
But for what it's worth. 20-4

At some point, y'all gonna have to take a step back in regards to Shabazz and say that he's been the most overhyped player this year. He's done absolutely nothing to show he's worth a top 3 selection. He's closer to being a character on the Real Housewives than he is to being an all-star NBA caliber player.
In the last year, he's had run-ins with the NCAA that dealt with his recruitment(on his side, not the schools recruiting him), he's showed up out of shape, and he's been lying about his age for years. He and his father are going to be a massive headache in the NBA. More than anything because he won't be a star and they'll want star treatment. This isn't a typical college kid with immense talent. This is a 20 year old who wants the spotlight and instead of focusing on winning games, he's focused on making sure you know he's 'a killer'. Even if the only thing he's killed is his college coach's job.
If we draft Shabazz, you can say goodbye to Anthony Davis; his head will just roll off his body once he realizes he has to deal with not only Gordon's bull****, but Shabazz's too.

Don't beat around the bush. Tell us how you really feel.
Who has said he should be a top 3 selection? Who said he's close to being an all-star tlaent right now???
Dramatic much? NO ONE'S SAYING THAT THIS GUY IS GOING TO BE THE NEXT KOBE BRYANT/ MELO/ ANYONE. They're saying he can be a good scorer in the league. That's all. Christ, i'm not in love with him I don't hate him, but there's just no middle ground on discussion boards for people sometimes.
I don't even think you (or others) know what the word troll means. But I digress.
Dude took 18 shots and made 6 (he could have gone 7 for 16 but he missed an uncontested layup with 30 seconds left). If you take Anton of shots your going to make some. He didnt even crack the top 100 among shooting pct. in the nation (and that's including guys like Glenn Robinson, Russ Henderson, and others). I think he ceiling is a less athletic JR Smith, but that's just my opinion.
A Troll is a person or post deliberately provoking other users. Your post was doing that. But you're probably right, you're the only person that knows the meaning.
Also, did you look at his team's stats during that game? Realize he shot the best % of starters on his team right?
Wear 1-5
Drew 1-6
Powell 3-12
Anderson 2-11
Also, I agree JR Smith is a fair comparison.
A troll was originally was a term used to define people being jerks towards race, sex, or just plain intolerance. Kids today have broadened it so that they too can feel like victims of a troll when they dont agree with the person they are debating with. If you want to feel like a victim just say "I'm a victim." Don't sully the word "troll."
If your fall back is "well his teammates stunk too." Who among his teammates is supposed to he a high lottery pick?
Dude is a lot of fluff, and a little substance. High maintenance, low producing. If he becomes a hornet I will learn to accept it, but til then, I will be opposed to him taking my ticket money.
and we're done here.
Alot of people think he's one of the top 3 players in this draft.
And I'm being dramatic because it's more fun that way. I could say "well, i think he'll be a decent NBA player who a team won't ever build around, but he'll get solid minutes" ... but there's no fun in that.
I'm gonna go back to being dramatic now.
The guy is going to need baby-sitting on an emotional level. To the point where Eric Gordon is going to start referring to Shabazz as 'puddin'
I wish I could like a post lol
Is there a HR award for consistently derailing threads?
Wherehappens.
I don't see him being a top 3 talent. All he does is be a high volume scorer. Nothing else. I'm not impressed with him. Its not like he does it efficiently.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
He doesn't just do it inefficiently, he does it in some fashion where people actually think he is good at scoring. While giving the impression that he is the victim in his entire college experience (bad coach, bad system, bad teammates).

Is saying he's a top 3 player even so wrong when he could actually be drafted in the top 3, depending on who is there?
I mean of the big board top 3 I've seen, as that one tweet said, one needed or needs reconstructive ACL surgery, one hasn't really shown up in the tournament at all and seems rather timid and hesitant to even demand the ball in big moments, or is a below the rim guard with a weak jumper.
How is an inefficient, volume shooter any worse? Eh.
I still can't help but consider him as an option for this team.
We're not even going to have a top 3 pick most likely. I think once everyone came to grasp with that, he started hitting people's radars.
Jesus Christ I was wondering the same thing. Feels like we fall into the same damn arguments each week.
It's the same one or two people who "accidentally" seem to do it constantly.
