what's the story with Shabazz?
Any word on his health? Haven't seen his name mentioned much.

Re: what's the story with Shabazz?
Here's an injury history report that I put together:
November 2013 - Missed 7 games due to ankle injury.
April 2014 - Missed 7 games due to knee injury
July 2014 - Missed 1.5 games (Summer League) due to ankle injury
October 2014 - Missed 10 days practice and exhibition games due to Achilles injury
December 2014 - Had an ankle injury but played through it/didn't miss games
January/Feb. 2015 - Abdominal injury caused him to miss a month.
Feb/March/April 2015 - Missed two months due to finger injury
July 2015 - He missed the opening scrimmage due to hamstring injury.
I've found no updates on his hamstring, but I assume it's not going to be an issue. I hope this kid can stay healthy. He looked great last year. But he has missed a lot of time due to injuries so far.

He was working out with the Summer League team, but tweaked a hammy so did not participate in the Summer Showcase (precautionary, he said). He is going out to work with the same trainer he worked with last offseason. He says he wants to lose even more weight. I'm assuming he wants to be able to play both wing positions...

What's funny is that, if anything, 'Bazz might be better suited to play small-ball 4 along with the 3. His skills are really more aligned with a 3/4 than a 2/3.

Re: what's the story with Shabazz?
Q, I agree, but also think he crushes wings doesn't have enough length for small ball 4. I just want to see him healthy and able to play 7/8th's of a season without being hurt.
