Bazz has shot over 40% on corner 3's the past 2 years.
Is it enough of a sample size? Is he just scratching the surface? We'll see how that translates on a team that values that shot.
He shot 51 TOTAL three pointers in 2015. He took 152 last season... but hit just 29% of them... which would indicate that he sucked balls everywhere but the corners. So if he's strictly a corner three point guy, is it enough to offset his lack of defense and other skills.
[Note: I'm on record as a non-Muhammad guy. I think he has a selfish game. But scorers off the bench always have a place in the NBA. As long as he's a solid teammate, I don't have a huge issue with him. But I don't see him here for too much longer either way.]

Very fair post imo especially how you treated sample size.
