Is Shabazz a starting quality PG?

Baldwin better spend the summer putting up 1000 three pointers a day if that's the case.

 

I said yes. Because not all teams are contenders and I think he could be better than some of them who are currently starting in this league. I mean he only has to be better than a couple of them in order to be starter quality himself, right?
His starting numbers, as @Natebishop3 noted, are darned good overall. I think his inconsistency stems from inconsistent minutes.
He he knew he was starting every night, I think he would be fine overall... just not for a true contender, like us.

 

I would just tell Wade to hang around Dame all summer. He’s got two sons now.

 

Exactly my thinking. So many including myself that they were more hamstringed than they are showing to be.
Lots felt a major move needed to happen just to get to this point. Now it seems a minor upgrade here and there and this team in a contender.

 

Cap space is irrelevant here.

Portland wouldn't be paying $20M ($3M/year for the next 6 years!) for him NOT to play for us.

Like it or not, the teams finances always play a part in the decisions that are made by the FO.

 

His numbers suck but i was actually pretty surprised by his shot. Of course his free throws were off also. But shooting is something that can be worked on.

 

I know the college 3 point line is much easier, but he shot 42% in 2 college seasons so it shows that he has the touch. A little work and he could turn into a solid player.

 

And he’s a good free throw shooter. Most of his troubles shooting are off the dribble.

 

Everything i watched last night tells me he has a bunch of tools that can be worked on. Will they develop him? Not sure? Need minutes to develop. Pat is approaching the 2000 min level which is usually when the game slows down a bit. Seems like Baldwin could use next year to improve. Hope he gets a chance.

 

Maybe not last night so much 4-7 but his stroke looked good. So that also would be an experience thing.

 

Shabazz has helped win us some games this year. I like him when we have a triple threat at the guard positions - he seems to make the right pass/shot when he's the 3rd/4th/5th option. I really did like Baldwin's game last night - but would need a bigger sample size from him before I'd pass on 'bazz.

 

I think a lot will depend on what Shabazz is willing to re-sign for. It's nice to have a player that might be able to slip into that role at a very low cost if the price for Shabazz is too high. They obviously saw something in him to hang onto him as a 3rd point guard. It will be interest to see if he gets more opportunity this year.
