Kyle Ratke: Shabazz, it feels like you’ve been around forever. Just looking at your Basketball-Reference page doing some research. You’re only 28! I think for fans, they think of your UCONN days. You talked (during the press conference) that you kind of felt out of place early in your career, but over the last two years you’ve averaged right around nine points per game, the two best seasons of your career.
