He looked quicker than I remember him being at UCLA too. I know you've been bytching about it all season. It's ridiculous how he got buried.
By even Flip's accounts, he outplays everyone in practice. Everyone.
I said in a different thread, Shabazz handled this so well. If it were me, I woulda been more vocal about my PT. He said "this team, this city is perfect for me because there's nothing else to do BUT focus on basketball." He's put in the work.
He's gonna have crappy nights too no doubt, but when you're up 30 on the Bucks entering the 4th, find some time to use him. It will pay off later. Adelman never did that, so in a way it feels like Shabazz's season started this week. It didn't need to be that way. Whoever coaches this team (Hollins, Hoiberg, a Flip lackey) needs to build with Shabazz, Dieng, Rubio, Pek, and whoever the pick is in mind.
