It cracks me up that 80% of this board sees Bazz as a bust when he hasn't played a minute of NBA basketball, he was drafted #14 (compare to John Henson, Marcus Morris, Patrick Patterson, and Earl Clark in the last 4 drafts), he's doing what he's asked to do, and he hasn't screwed up.

It is more that he dropped to 14 and then didn't show much in summer league. I think his ceiling is not very high. I hope I am wrong.
Of course it took me a Shabazz thread to get me back in the game.
My dream is that he models his game around Mitch Richmond and to a lesser extant Bonzi Wells (who someone had mentioned as a comparison a while ago). Both were strong guards who got overlooked a bit because of their size and were called unathletic. If he models his skill set and discipline to improve his D and work within the offense he in a dream world could achive Richmond level performance. I don't think Bonzi (also an Adelman guy) is too much of a stretch.
