Kent Bazemore is a team-first player and has developed his game within the Atlanta Hawks system. The Hawks need Bazemore to play a leadership role on this young team and that starts with consistency on the court.
Much has been made about Kent Bazemore and the 4-year, $70 million contract he signed with the Atlanta Hawks prior to last season. That contract created unrealistic expectations from many fans who suddenly thought he was going to average 20 points/game and morph into a completely different player.
Prior to last season, he was a fan favorite. That all changed after the contract.
