As observed, Bazemore himself couldn't believe that he was knocking down those long-distance bombs. But the 29-year-old is just being humble. He really is a marksman from downtown. Though he's not achieved Curry status, it's safe to say that he's getting close.
Last season, he shot a career-best 39.4 percent from beyond the arc. In 65 games ā all of which were part of the starting line up, Bazemore nailed 1.7 long-distance shots on 4.2 attempts per game.Ā He averaged 27.5 minutes, chipping in 12.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.5 steals nightly.
For the past few weeks, Bazemore has been mentioned in trade talks, particularly with the Houston Rockets. Ryan Anderson's contract is reportedly creating a big dent in the Rockets' financial sheets. The Rockets owe him some $20 million this season and $21 million in the 2019-20 season.
Bazemore, tagged as a 3-and-D player, will fit right in Mike D'Antoni's system and will also free up some cap space for the team.
Apart from the Rockets, other teams seem to have noticed Bazemore's potential. As per Kelly Iko of USA Sports Today, the Milwaukee Bucks are also eyeing him:
