On offense, he looks like a homeless mans Carmelo.

A taller OJ Mayo.

I predict Jamaal Franklin will be a better NBA player than Shabazz. I admit to possible bias as a SDSU alum.

i would like us to trade down to try to get shabazz. he is being undervalued right now due to age/character issues but he absolutely has top 5 potential. if he falls outside the lottery we should do what we can to nab him. he would solidify our 3 spot for years to come.

He will have to focus on more than just scoring if he wants to be great in the NBA

He might be able to carve out a Michael Beasley type career. I don't see him as an impact player in the NBA, I could be wrong of course.

Reminds me of Adrian Dantley physically, skill-wise and in terms of overall athletic limits. Young AD was a maniacal ball hogs too, so there's that. Problem is, I can't picture even AD himself as a young man today replicating anything close to his own successes in today's NBA. There's no NBA guys who are 6-5 215 sturdy small forwards who can't jump much or play defense.

However Shabazz has this feel for scoring that is pretty rare. He will probably play for quite a while however if his three point shooting remains reliable. I sense a 10,000 NBA career minute ceiling unless he grows a left hand AND learns to pass to someone occasionally. Upside is JR Smith, but more likely he's to show a more steady maturity and growth a la Quincy Pondexter.

Lebron with a lil Kobe and an MJ demeanor.

A lot of talk about him falling out of the lottery and possibly even into the early 20s.

He isn't as good as advertised and it showed in college.

Not really that athletic as people though and doesn't do much other than scoring.

So not surprised to see him fall.

Wish we could pick him up. I sense that this kid will still be very good, despite what is being said.
