Kent Bazemore

The Golden State Warriors brought in Kent Bazemore this offseason, and while he’s had some solid games, he’s seemingly fallen out of the rotation yet again. Against the Jazz, Bazemore scored just three points in 11 minutes.

Bazemore has shown flashes at times this season, but he’s produced like you’d want a veteran to. He needs to do more to keep his roster spot. Jordan Poole is heating up and others may show more potential.

This season, Bazemore has averaged just over six points per game which isn’t bad, but he has just five games of double-figure scoring, showing a lower-than-expected impact.

On top of that, he’s played in under 16 minutes per game in the team’s last three games, so Steve Kerr clearly doesn’t see much upside of having him on the court.

Wiggins is playing big minutes as he’s gotten more involved with Golden State. Given his salary, Bazemore may not be overly tradeable, but it’s certainly not insane to think they may part ways with him.
