Obviously true. But I can also hate being kicked when down.
Next Michael Jordan. Going to UK.
Fair enough. <3's

An NBA team starting:
pg: Rondo
sg: John Wall
sf: MKG
pf: Anthony Davis
c: DeMarcus Cousins
How well would they do?

Terrible outside shooting. Other than that, awesome. I don't know if they would be able to overcome the awful shooting though.

Maybe consider Tayshaun Prince, Eric Bledsoe, Brandon Knight, and Enes Kanter.. double-up.
Sure it is a possibility but in a weak draft why would teams want two guarantee contracts. I have been hearing that GMs are trying to get rid of picks.

I scouted four games (vs Arizona, Missouri, Washington, Oregon St.) of Shabazz Muhammad to get a better idea of how he scores the ball. The stats show he has a very well rounded scoring game. Here is where his offense comes from:
Spot up 3-pointers: ~29% of total points scored
Free throws: ~17% of total points scored
Low post up moves: ~13% of total points scored
Fast break opportunities: ~13% of total points scored
High post moves: ~11% of total points scored
Mid range spot up jumpers: ~6% of total points scored
Drives: ~4% of total points scored
Offensive put-back's: ~4%
Alley-oop dunks: ~2% of total points scored
Shabazz seems to be a really underrated 3-point shooter. It's where he gets the majority of his points from, and in these games he shot 64% (9/14) on spot up 3's. On the season he's shooting 42% on 3.5 attempts per game from 3.
Another area that really stood out was his ability to score out of the high post. 11% of his offense came here, but the more impressive thing was that he shot 71% from the high post (post moves outside of 10 feet is how I measured it). It's a small sample size, but I do believe he has an elite post game for a perimeter player his age.
He aslo scores out of the low post, and gets to the FT line at a great rate like any good scorer should.
The main thing missing from his scoring arsenal is his ability to take his man off the dribble. But, he's better at it than the 4% would suggest, cause sometimes he would drive, then be met by another defender and end up shooting a jump hook out of the low/high post, so I counted the points in those categories.
He scores all over the court, both within the flow of the offense (coming of screens for spot up jumpers etc.) and by creating his own shot. If he ever improves his handle the way he improved his 3-pointer (that was one of the nocks on his game coming out of high school), then watch out.

It has scared us all off.
