Shabazz Muhammad needs to be starting over Lavine.
Have a good night all.

Wiggins will be starting at the two and Tayshaun at the three.

Shabazz never passes, has questionable defense but puts himself in a great positions to finish a basket. He’s meant for the bench.
That’s not to say that Lavine is anything different, but he’s showed more willingness to pass the ball and fit within a defensive concept. That said, both are young so time could help them develop their game.

  I would like to go on a limb and say he has improved his overall game, including his defense this offseason. Plus every team needs a little bit of muscle in the starting lineup and Bazz certainly brings that. Plus with a guy like Rubio who is always dribbling and Wiggins who is trying to develop that part of his game and the organization supporting him in that, a guy like Bazz who can get buckets off of 2 or less dribbles, as oppose to LaVine who sometimes gets caught up pounding the ball and then trying to crossover, and disrupting the teams offensive flow, Bazz seems more like an ideal fit.

They finally took my advice and moved LaVine to the bench and Wiggins to SG. Like I’ve been saying, those two are just too damn skinny to be starting at SG and SF resepectively.

  Were Rip Hamilton & Tayshaun Prince too damn skinny to play the 2 and 3 when they won a championship and went to 6 straight conference finals? Stop it man…we get it, you don’t like Wiggins. You don’t have to come on every single post about him and make that known. Neither of these kids is old enough to buy a drink yet, the team is still in the process of building and finding an identity. Let them establish themselves in the league before trying to label things as unworkable.

    Don’t blame the messenger for predicting what the Wolves would conclude on their own.
    Maybe in a few years Wiggins will get his weight up to 215 or something….

Shabazz will be nothing more than a sixth man. With that being said, he has the potential to be a sixth man of the year candidate in a couple years. He has the ability to put in 30 on any given night, but is inconsistent and doesn’t always put in maximal effort in, especially on defense.

  He is only going into his 3rd year… Why does have to be limited to a 6th man role?

    Because he’s just plain not good enough to start on a good team. Doesn’t move the ball, doesn’t play D, inconsistent outside of 15′, shaky handle, average athleticism, EXTREMELY left-handed…. He’ll be a decent scorer on a bad team, nothing more.

      He’s only 23 relax. He’s a much improved defender and can shoot the ball. You don’t need him to be a great ball handler.
      just look at his per 36 last year and then try to tell me he can’t eventually make it as a starter.

        He’s 23 but his game has shown very little improvement. He is what he is: A decent scorer off the bench on a bad team, or an 8th-10th man on a good team. There’s nothing wrong with that. Also, the per 36 thing is silly. Hasheem Thabeet averaged like 18 blocks a game one season per 36, but pretty sure that wouldn’t have played it if he actually got those minutes…

Nothing more than a 6th man can be pretty damn important. Ask Igoudala.

Bazz has improved drastically since college I’ve beenbwatching him closely. He has completely changed his body. He has much better court vision and is a more team oriented guy. His dribble still needs work as he doesn’t have many dribble moves but to say a guy who has improved as much as he obviously has just shows the fact that your just trying to prove your previous point which was also ridiculous.
Saying someone can only become a 6th man but can become the 6th man of the year because he isn’t good enough to start is a contradiction. Most 6th men on teams are capable of starting.
The top candidate for 6th man IMO this year is Isaiah Thomas and he is arguably the best player on his team. Joakim Noah is coming off the bench to start the year and so is Taj Gibson both capable of starting. Dennis Schroder likely deserves to start after last years season. If Embiid was healthy one of Noel, Embiid, or Okafor would sit yet they all are likely starter quality. The list goes on and on.
So basically what you said is he is not good enough to be a starting role playing wing but he has the potential to become the best specialized 6th man in the league.
What?
