Shabazz Muhammad Bandwagon

What ever happened to this kid? I think we have all forgot about Shabazz Muhammad. One of the best high school prospect to come out and after 1 college season, his stock his taking a dramatic HIT. I'm not a fan of his ego on the court, but he is still a highly talented basketball player. The kid sounds smart, humble, and very passionate when interviewed. He also played on a UCLA team that has done great preparing players into the NBA. I believe his name needs to be mentioned more as a possible pick at no.4. He would greatly improve our back court. I do believe that he's an upgrade over Hendo though he plays more like a SF. The more I think, the more I like the idea of taking Shabazz at the no.4 pick. Forget the bad media attention. Shabazz is clearly the best available player along with maybe Anthony Bennett at our spot. I believe MJ will take a HARD, HARD look at the kid. Yes, I think I'm jumping on the Shabazz Bandwagon as of now.

Posted this in a bunch of other threads, stay away from BAZ

 

For the final time chuck, lol.

 

Some GM's said they wouldn't be surprised if he fell out of the lottery...

 

People are saying his work ethic is poor and he is not a good teammate. Oh yeah, he also lied about his age.

 

On top of that, his combine performance was down right dreadful lol.

 

Just a few links for ya...

Muhammad is not the type of player this team needs.

Lol . I saw your post on the other thread.

Still I think he has the potential to be a damn good player in the NBA. I dont care if he lied about his age. Its not something that should drop his stock.

 

With Muhammad, it's not so much about immaturity but more so with his ego. Why wouldn't a young 20 yrs old kid who always had attention to be great not have a little high ego? MJ can help him with that. We'd be much better with Muhammad than with Bennett or anyone else that should be there at 4. Like you said, go get a Jefferson or Millsap and we'd be a much better team.

 

PG: Kemba / Sessions

SG: Shabazz

SF: MKG / Taylor

PF: Biz

C  : Jefferson

I don't think we should go out and get big free agents yet like Jefferson. Not that he's a huge name or anything. But I think we should stick with what we got those year and draft Bennett or maybe bazz but only if they feel like he's their guy.

Wait until next year and get a top 3 pick and inject more talent in this line up along with having 30 million or so to spend with dead contracts and what not. Go out and make a push for a semi star type player and the 2014 hornets will be a very exciting team that everybody will wanna see. Future is lookinh good for once

And oh yeah forgot about mentioning maybe having 3 picks in a loaded draft next year. Yippee

It's not that he lied about his age, it's that fact that he is comfortable lying in general... the Hornets don't need a player like Bazz.

 

I think you need to edit this thread to the Bennett bandwagon.

 

Shabazz is my guy right now bro. Everyone has their guy and I'm going to respect you for whoever you like. Right now, I just like Bazz more than Bennett. Our biggest issue on this team is scoring offensive with no help to Kemba. Bennett would be a great pick but I really dont know if him being at 6'7 can really play with bigger 6'9 PF. If we go get a Jefferson or Millsap, we don't need Bennett.

 

I just dont want to rule out a good talent just bc negative news are coming out. I dont think he's close to being a locker room killer too.

Yea, me too. But like CP8789 said, we need to spend some money to get to the limit. Our hands are tied. We have to sign someone(s).

Prediction:

(1) Cavs: Noel / McLemore

(2) Orlando: Trey / McLemore

(3) Washington: Porter / Bennett

 

My Pick:

(4) Hornets: Shabazz / Bennett

 

Len and Oladipo are in consideration, but I don't see Len being a top 4 pick. Oladipo looks like the next Michael Jordan and is a very good defender with an improved offensive game. Though, I like Bazz offensive game over Oladipo. Our biggest issue like I've said before is our inability to score. I just think that Oladipo is too much like Gerald Henderson. I think he's going to give us the same kind of game too. We already have MKG who is also very similar to Victor; a good defender. Shabazz makes more sense if we go that route. He'd be a great fit in our backcourt with his ability to score. I think he can be as good as James Harden. And I'm not comparing him to Harden just bc he's a lefty. Bazz' game is very similar to his.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      No, I don't root for drops to be what loses a game, especially from a player who has/had drop issues, as that's not showing improvement. And no, I don't resent it if they win, just as I don't "celebrate" if we lose either.  But I don't get upset if we lose because I know it's for the best for our future, just like I don't go running through the streets celebrating a meaningless December win that doesn't do anything other than hurt our draft stock in a lost season. In a year like last year and this next year, where we've put considerable assets into the offense at the expense of our defense to be fixed later, something both fans and the team themselves know, as you can only add so many players in any given offseason.  Then I'm looking for us to click offensively, have everyone looking better than the year before and show growth.   But then the side of our team we know is a weakness, to be the reason we lose in a high scoring game.  Give me Bryce going down and taking a 2 point lead with 2-3 minutes left in the game, but then our defense almost holding the other team from getting into scoring position and they end up needing a 55 yard FG to win the game and beat us. That can happen while our young defensive players show tons of promise, but still have one or two too many holes and/or just inexperience that it costs us games in the end, but it's still a successful season of growth and improvement. Or even better, just look great on both sides in a close game and end up getting totally screwed by the refs with a bad late call that hands them the game. And again, those are the kinds of things I'm wanting to see happen once it's already a lost season.   And I'm only saying I'd rather not make the playoffs when the alternate scenario is making but losing in the first round. Because those are the scenarios where we improve as a team, get better draft picks, and an easier schedule the next year.  You then use the cap space and higher draft picks to fill the remaining defensive holes with impact players and you're then cooking with gas in that next season and have real potential.
