Blazing Bazemore!

[JTB]

It's bout damn time this man has his own thread! I'm not shocked at all in what he's put out on the court, I knew he had it in him and yes with the way he's playing he's going to remain our starting SF. People can say what they want as far as Kent Bazemore being a product of buds offense system more so than it being bazes actually skills and I will reply that I don't give a damn!....dude is balling and filling in more than great for the lost of you know who.

..............oh and Demarre Carroll who? Who's that guy?

Another great game by Baz!  His three point accuracy has been shocking

This is what happens when you breed in-house talent.

It's all about that Baze, all about that Baze.....

Said it in another thread: Blaze will be better than DMC was.

The Baze giving Hawks fans amnesia so far

I think Baze's success has a lot to do with Bud's player development program.  The dude had shown that he had SOME talent.  But nothing like what we're seeing so far this season.

When you can get guys like Bazemore, and Mike Scott, and Demarre Carroll to reach their maximum potential as players, your player development program is top notch.  Even Dennis is improving rapidly.

I can't wait to see what they do with Edy, and how they'll turn him into a rotational player.

At this rate, no one will want to do business with the Hawks. We take journeymen like DMC and Bazemore and turn them into star players. Can you imagine what Bud is cooking up in the lab for Hardaway and Tavares?

NBA GM: 'So Coach Bud, you want to trade your next five draft picks for our second rounder from last year who is in the D-League right now? Are you crazy, we're giving up way too much...'

Thought @Richesly would make this thread.......(checks realgm) there he is.

 

Bazemore has been on fire so far, I've said it a few times already and I'm rolling with it. Kent Bazemore for MIP

We might become the first team in history whose Player Development Coaches get inducted in Springfield.

This is what the Spurs are famous for.

I just hope this 2 year contract doesn't bite us in the ass.

Correct me if I'm Wrong but I don't think this situation will end up like the dmc situation:

1. The cap is predicted to go sky high which gives us as well as other teams more money to use in free agency 

2. We will have plenty of cap to get Baze back because we CAN go over the salary cap to retain horford since we own his FULL bird rights.

3. Ressler has already said he's willing to go into the lux tax if need be several times....he may have to literally eat those words this next off season with the way Baze has improved

Redsler has said he is willing to go over the cap. I have seen nothing where he said he would go in to the luxury tax.

It's true that we should have plenty of room to sign baze. The problem is we will have to use our cap to do so.  That's going to be 10-15 million or more if he continues to play like this.

[AUhawksfan]

Putting Baze as the starter and keeping him as the starter even after laying a goose egg his first game was huge for his confidence.  If you prove you can hustle and play the way he wants, Bud will give you the minutes and stick with you.  He exudes confidence in his players.

Baze gave me some Kyle-like moments with some of those 3's. Got me off my seat and I only thought Kyle could do that.

[Atlantaholic]

Bazemore has totally shocked me with how good he is playing. After his first two games I was already expecting him to lose out his starting job to some of our other wing players. The way he is playing the last six games is totally outside of my wildest hopes. Give a lot of credit to the coaches, but most of the credit has to go to Bazemore, improvement like this does not come without putting in some serious work.

Well at this rate we'll be making this same thread bitching about losing Holiday.

I must admit I didn't think Baze would be this good when we signed him last year. I had seen him as a Warrior and Laker and was worried. I guess our system is just awesome. 

 

Ps I have Baze on my fantasy team, he has the best game of his life, and I left him on the bench...on the note to self part at the bottom I wrote: you're a moron! Lol
