Shabazz Muhammad’s career did not get off on the right foot. He was a bit of an accidental draft pick by Flip Saunders, who admitted at the time that things did not go how he planned in the 2013 draft.
Muhammad was the last player many of us wanted the Wolves to take that year, after a poor freshman season at UCLA where a lot of things, many of them his fault, went wrong. I raged about Flip that night, and caught Muhammad up in it to, and while I stand by what I wrote back then, I’m somewhat disappointed in myself for how rough I was about him.
