Shabazz Muhammad

Shabazz Muhammad Minutes 17.5 9.6 DOWN
Shooting Guard Points 9.0 3.7 DOWN
25 Years Old Assists 0.5 0.2 DOWN
5th season Rebounds 2.8 1.5 DOWN
Overal Grade DOWN

Shabazz Muhammad is completing his fifth season in the league and it may be his last. Tom Thibodeau had an opportunity to sign Bazz to a long-term contract last season and he then decided to take a pass.

Muhammad tested the free-agency market and didn’t’ find any takers. Thib’s signed Shabazz to a two-year contract with this season paying $1.5 million and next season player option for $1.7 million.

It’s been reported by Bleacher Report he’s asked to get out of his contract and that Timberwolves management and owners are willing to honor his request if he can find a team interested in his services.

His grade is DOWN and not worthy of dedicating too many words lamenting why but to wish him the best as we say goodbye.
