 Has anyone heard of how shabazz is doing? I can’t find anything recent about him and basketball..

 he isnt playing much, and just sitting on the bench. Just from his instagram hes posted a few pics of him saying that he is just being patient and waiting for his turn.

 I was underwhelmed with the class of 12 and even still, I NEVER saw the hype in Bazz to say he was the best player of that class.  After college it was confirmed that he was also a selfish player.  He really makes Harold Miner look like "Baby Jordan"

 I was never a Shabazz fan.  I didn’t see many games of him at UCLA but I did see the one game where Larry Drew hot that floater for the win, I don’t remember who it was against, but he was sulking because he didn’t get the ball at the end.  Just a selfish guy.  In high school he was an elite level athlete, but I never saw that at UCLA.  He could’ve just overpowered opponents in high school like the Harrison twins, but he turned out to be just an average athlete.  I don’t know how his career will turn out, but it doesn’t look good thus far.

 he probably won’t play to much with the wolves trying to make a playoff push. He may earn spot minutes here and there so we may not see or hear much. Maybe unless they send him to the d league just to get some burn.

 It amazes me how he was considered an elite athlete in high school…never seen any elite speed,explosiveness in him or a first step..he’s 6’6 average athlete with a damn good wingspan of course he’s gonna dunk on some high school kids…He’s going to spot up and shoot and finish in transation and get to the basket off curls…nothing special

I saw high school footage and thought he was amazing. But he was built like a man and opponents weren’t. I saw him, in person, at UCLA and assumed he had an off day. But he was flat footed and just waited for his turn to shoot. I thought he was going to be good driving, but frankly, he’s quite slow unless he’s in transition. 

The elite athleticism myth comes from the fact he has extremely long arms, and the ball goes up high when he dunks.

More than anything, I feel like he doesn’t want it that bad. I hear he works exceptionally hard and that he’s smart. But when he’s on the court, he waits for things to happen to him or for him.

I’m still holding out hope and I probably had him way too high on my list. I’d like to think he’s a life-altering realization away from being a solid player, but I definitely think, for him, the issue goes beyond the physical.

 There is nothing to write about a guy who never gets off the bench.  His best hope is to be Tony Wroten and have the Wolves give him away for peanuts to drop his salary and go to a team where he can sniff some minutes.  Then it’ll be put up or shut up.  Wroten has put up.  If you are given a chance and still don’t show anything – you pretty much just can’t play at that level.

I don’t know why Aldeman is playing Hummel instead of Shabazz. Yes I know Hummel is a solid teammate and player but shabazz can bring much more. Since Hummel’s only role is to shoot threes, why not replace his playing time with Shabazz? Shabazz is also a good spot up shooter, he is more athletic and a lot more aggresive going to the hoop and can bring an offensive aprk they need off the bench instead of solely relying on barea and an underperforming Shved. Also, based on gaes I watched, Hummel can’t defend. Wolves would be better off playing shabazz or Dieng who have better defensive potential.
