Everyone has constantly been saying Shabazz is not Kemba, do not expect him to be. Obviously this is true... Shabazz is Shabazz and we cannot expect him to play for us the way Kemba did last year. But I'll be d-mned if he doesn't resemble last year's Kemba quite a bit tonight. Fearless in every aspect of the game thus far... draining a couple of 3 pointers within 5-10 seconds of the shot clock (a move that many young players would be afraid to do in the past for fear of getting yanked by Calhoun if they missed). Plays like that only make him better, because then the defense has to play him tight on the perimeter and it sets him up to take them off the dribble.
Not to mention his awesome defense. This team is looking AWESOME for a team in one of its first games. Mistakes made of course, but they still look great.
