This doesn't have anything to do with the Wiz tonight, it's about NCAA.

And it doesn't have anything to do with either game, specifically, tonight but more overall.

Shabazz M. just isn't a dominate player. He's not a ... elite body. He's not an intimidating presence on the court. Athletically, he doesn't live above the rim, enough so, even at the NCAA level to dominate and he'll certainly not be a high-flyer in the NBA.

And just when you realize that he's not eye popping, looks smaller than his alleged height and measurements, you realize that he jogs and half-asses a bunch.

Nothing to do with the UCLA loss tonight, but more about something you see.

Is he good? - Certainly, has skills, can drive at times and shoot outside.

But again, doesn't have the elite, above the rim style. Doesn't dominate people physically to where you see that translating to the NBA. Doesn't have a domineering body to make an impact against truly men sized guys in the NBA.

He's going to have to rely on that slipstream, less aggressive, backed off style of shoot the ball kind of approach rather than trying to break people down or physically take it to the hole - I don't see him doing that in the NBA.
