Bazz very hesitant to shoot tonight

[SaeHusky]

Not sure why - he passed open some wide open looks. Had a team high 7 assists though

 

[jorge34]

He looked like he was hurting

 

[Jaker]

we are better when he is dishing the ball

Except for the pull up 30 footer he had no problem bricking as we were in the middle of a run.

he wasn't hesitant when he needlessly jacked up that deep 3 late in the second half. can't complain though, i thought he played very well.

Very well? He had 7 assists but after calling out his teammates he has to provide a little scoring. He also took the shot clock down way too much about 10 times.

Bazz played well tonight. Took one unadvised 3 and had only 1 bad TO. Other than that, he managed the team well.

I like Shabazz, but he really puzzles me at times. It seemed as if he decided before the game that he wasn't going to shoot. However, we need him to hit some 3's like last year, and also drive to the basket to open the defense.

I agree with jorge on this one, he's a tough kid and doesn't want to show when he hurts and give the opposition the knowledge but he wasn't 100% last night -overall he ran the team very well minus a couple bad passes.................

when we were down 2 with 3 minutes to go, awful decision

statistically, we actually play better when napier scores. not sure why he passed on so many wide open looks. even more unsure on why he felt the one shot who should take killed momentum.

Good shot at that point NO...awful shot also a NO...........he backrimmed it and felt it......pretty sure he made a longer one most recently. Granted could've looked for Lamb more or had Boat penetrate and dish but if he makes that there is no discussion......he has nads...........

I was puzzled by his not looking to shoot as well, but it's impossible to know if his foot was affecting his shooting. I was watching to see who would make the pass into the center of the zone and what I saw surprised me. Bazz was the only one who was able to make that pass. Boat and Lamb would not try it. (this was in the second half when I was looking at this, so might not have been true all game long, but I bet it was). Bazz made all of the alley oop passes to AD, I believe. He passed the ball very well. It's just a wonder when he he plays that well while hurting that this board still attacks him about one poor shot. Why he is the lightning rod for so much anger is beyond me.
