Coach Z’s scouting report: Inconsistent for most of the season… could have used another year of seasoning, but with money waiting it was time to move… a modern day Kevin Johnson… better shooter than Rose, but not the leader Rose is… will develop into a good pro… won’t be an All-Star for at least 5 years… needs to make better decisions with the ball…
Initially, he was projected to go as high as #4 to Seattle, but found his stock dropping as a result of Westbrook’s late rise. The Pacers are in line to acquire T.J. Ford, so Bayless provides some insurance and gives the team a combo guard that can play alongside Ford (which would give the team a ton of speed in the backcourt).
