Shabazz Muhammad - I think we need to stay away from him

So you are saying Bazz should go number 1 overall?

if you want a smart lefty 6'6" SG with a postup game, catch and shoot ability, is seasoned against a double team and is capable of making all sorts of circus shots with ease, and playing above the rim with lots of fury, yes you should take him #1 overall.

like ive said before

i have him #2 overall, behind Alex Len
 
1 - there's no way Shabazz falls to us.
2- I'd trade our 2nd for Dallas's 13 and Marion, then package our THREE first to move up for him
3- heck, I'd even trade Burks and our two firsts for him
4- this draft sucks
5- he may be the only player from this draft peoe still talk about in 5 years.

Fixed
 
cousins was picked at 5btw.

i had him #1 on my board, followed by Wall, Favors, Monroe, Aminu.

also that draft(2010) has an interesting player to compare Shabazz too, another lefty of similar size

funny...

I had Wall #1, Cousins #2 ... and anything else was dumb, to me.

I also loved Xavier .................................................. my lone mistake.

you weren't crazy about favors in that draft??? especially after UK bombed out of the tourney i almost moved him up to #1 or #2, but at the end of the day i was happy with my top 5

Xavier had a Knee issue that he never recovered from, right? that kid could shoot, its a damn shame he lost a step. i had him rated over Hayward, but im biased towards lefties, i had paul george over hayward too, but i didnt think Gordons athleticism would translate in transition as it has
 
He is a confident, hard worker, aggressive kid. But, he has always played against younger kids until this year. from the highlights that I watched earlier in the year, I just didn't see what physical trait he had that made him a real mismatch in the game. The only thing I really saw was that he was usually stronger than his defender. I didn't see any great explosiveness, speed, quickness etc...

I can see him getting frustrated when he gets to the league.

i think shabazz is rather polished, battle-tested and skilled, he has catch + shoot, iso potential, and he has a post up game, plus many other tricks. shabazz is also seasoned vs the double team, which many prospects cannot say.

as ive said since my first post about shabazz, Crafty-Lefty like James Harden.. heres how they measure up according to draftexpress.com
