No he has not always been this good in the NBA. His decision making and outside shot were horrendous last season. He looks like a "budding" point guard this year to go along with an improved jumper and his ever present drives
His decision making and outside shot looked bad because he was never allowed to get comfortable on the floor. Look at him in college. He had games where he was raining threes. And he hit shot after shot in his last summer league game in 08. Also- Bayless' career high was set last season in New Jersey. He has always been this good. Meanwhile.. ASSIST BAYLESS!
That right there is what dives me crazy about Blake. Blake should have got the ball to Bayless who is hot. Instead he was going to shoot it himself, but threw to LA after they shut Blake down
Look, I was one of the biggest "Free Bayless" honks last year and I wanted him to get PT, but he did not have a good year.
