anyone think 2013 Florida during the final game winning play?

Napier has actually turned into a real pesky defender, he has been solid on that end and gets a lot of steals per 36. his problem is creating offense for himself, simply can't do it and turns it over a bit too much. (below 40% from the field). a very solid shooter though so i can see him continue to grow as lillards backup.

What do teams score per 100 when he's on the floor? Or hell, I'd even like to see his DvP from a DFS site.

@NielsisGood not great, his defensive metrics aren't that good at first glance. on the season he has a better defensive rating than lillard, but since all star break its 108.5 , though he's posted a fantastic +6.1 net rating when on the floor. Defensive tracking isn't great either, but idk i've watched him since the all star game and think he's brought some decent pressure vs opposing guards. he no longer gets swallowed by picks, and has over 2 steals per 36 since ASG

Chief shout out to Bazz!

On another note, it is unfortunate that Charlotte is having the season that they are. If they were playing meaningful games at this point it is likely that Kemba would have tallied 250 threes on the season joining a select group of players.

Tune in tonight , another start for a resting lillard.

Best game I saw live, everyone in Gampel groaned when he missed and then that place ERUPTED when he hit. I got pushed down a bleacher row or two from the excitement.

I was in the building as well, great game.

The kid in the Woody from Toy Story costume that runs over and begs Shabazz for a high five after that is a good friend of mine. We pregamed outside Gampel for 5 hours beforehand and got 3rd row. One of my great memories as a student

Is Bazz going to be our only alum in the playoffs?

Yes

Finally get to see Shabazz start a game in the NBA and Doris Burke is going the broadcast. What a travesty

 

[Mr. French]

Good looks on the info, I just was saying "that'd be great if he got another good chunk of PT" and decided to check the 'yard -- sometimes it's all worth the rest of the muck on here!

 

[Horatio]

Bazz killing them right now!!!!!!

 

[3rdbass]

Bazz looking really good. A little sloppy with the ball but 17 pts at half.

 

[King Husky]

Any chance Waters was watching?

 

[UChusky916]

17 pts in 16 min played in the 1st half... damn. Bazz showing out!

 

[WrenchFan69]

25 on 10/16 shooting now with 6:30 left in the 3rd

 

[huskiesNhoos]

I'm watching the game and it's really sloppy. Bazz can definitely get his points in iso but he doesn't look good running an offense. The big thing that sticks out is he picks up his dribble too often really far from the basket, and it's usually because he hesitates to pass to guys coming off or around screens.

Good to see he's still got that mid range game, and seems to be getting his shooting touch back

 

[Chely's Home]

25 pts and counting tonight for bazz... glad hes killing it... hopefully this continues for him

 

[WrenchFan69]

Sat the last 15 minutes of the game. 25pts on 10/18 shooting, 3/6 from 3 in 26 minutes, 4 boards, 2 assists. Can't believe Stotts is actually saving Shabazz for the playoffs.

Is that what you think he's doing? Was confused as to why he didn't play the 4th

 

[Mr. French]

Those are great #s, I wonder why he'd not play any time in the last 15 minutes, but I missed it anyway ... Annoying.

That or they were playing for the tank. By losing their picks could go as high as 15th, 19th, and 23rd. If they won their picks could go as low as 18th, 20th, and 26th apparently. Lillard does have a foot injury but should be fine but winning this game wouldn't help so I guess Shabazz is some semblance of an insurance policy if he can keep it going like this.
