Why do posters keep saying this? I wouldn't call him streaky, he has shot terribly and has not played with confidence on offense for the most part his first two years. No doubt his defense needs work but he also needs his confidence back in his jumper in order to survive. To his credit he has looked more sure of himself and in attack mode in the preseason, and I would assume in practice as well based on the reports that have been written.Bazz defense will determine his career. His offense is streaky but that is very typical in the NBA. To this point he has been a liability on defense. It will be difficult for him given his physical limitations. But as a Huskies fan I will never bet against him.
statistician/insider for ESPN. i have to agree i am , pleasantly, surprised that the blazers are high on him.That's great. Who's Kevin Pelton?
I saw 3 of their preseason games and Bazz did extremely well in one, very well in another and in the third he played really nice D and passed well but only scored a fewstatistician/insider for ESPN. i have to agree i am , pleasantly, surprised that the blazers are high on him.
orlando and Miami aren't exactly located near Mass. He's played well in the preseason for both Miami and Orlando, hopefully it carries over into the regular season if he gets some opportunities. It will be tough with CJM and Turner also having the ability to play point in staggered rotations behind Dame.Wow I wonder if getting far away from home made a difference. He's on the other side of the country and performing well.
He deserves to be in the league. He outplayed every guard his age who's in the NBA while in college.
His 4th year option which the Blazers exercised is worth over $2.3M for the 2017-2018 season.He'll make $1,350,120 this year. not bad for a 25 year old.
According to Basketball-Reference:His 4th year option which the Blazers exercised is worth over $2.3M for the 2017-2018 season.
4 year total: $6,244,560. Not bad and if he was smart with it, set for life (unlike the reference to the $8M settlement that was gone in 9 years without living lavishly).
