10. Shabazz Muhammad (10)

Season Stats: 13.7 MPG – 4.2 PPG – 1.7 RPG – 0.4 APG – 37.5% FG – 60% FT

Weekly Stats: 10.7 MPG – 5.3 PPG – 0.7 RPG – 0.3 APG – 42.9% FG – 66.7% FT

Shabazz Muhammad’s minutes began to fall last week, due to his inconsistent offense and porous defense even during a great week for the team, leading to him dropping to last in the power rankings.

This week he wasn’t much better. Although his points per game and field goal percentage were on the rise, his team lost two out of three games, and his inability to be a reliable 3-point shooting or defensive option off the bench is one of the many reasons.

Bazz’ bad week culminated in just 8 minutes against the Jazz, where he added just 2 points to the stat sheet, and posted a staggeringly bad 84.9 Offensive Rating and an even worse 150.0 Defensive Rating.

Ouch. Muhammad isn’t doing a lot to see his minutes increase … again.
