Over the past year or so, it’s been quite the roller coaster of a ride for Shabazz Muhammad. Just to recap, he came into the collegiate ranks prior to this past season as one of the more highly touted players in the country. Muhammad however, dealt with a number of eligibility issues and actually missed some time early on in the year. The 6-foot-6 wing eventually hit the court and had a pretty solid season for the Bruins. The only issue was that UCLA wasn’t all that great, despite the talent that they had.
Muhammad is one and done as expected however, and that’s a good thing for one NBA franchise. Muhammad averaged 17.9 points per game this past season, but his game should translate even better to the professional ranks. It’s been all about his NBA potential since Muhammad was in high school and now that time has finally come. He’s 20 years old by the way and even despite the early discrepancy in his age, his draft shock shouldn’t be all that affected.
Muhammad is a top ten pick.
