Mustafa Shakur a King

Neither of those guys are really point guards, at least they're not on the NBA level. Shakur might not be able to go Ronnie Price on Boozer but I think he's worth a shot, especially if someone else tries to lure Price away. We need help at the PG position in terms of depth, and it's a no lose to sign Shakur.

As a die-hard Arizona fan and alum and having watched Staf since his freshman year I feel qualified to comment on Shakur.  To put it simply, he never lived up the hype.  He signed with Arizona out of Philly as the top PG in his class.  Since then he's been under the microscope.  After a respectable freshman season, expectations only rose and when he didn't deliver his sophomore year, Arizona fans came down on him pretty hard.  It's likely no coincidence that he ran the least successful Arizona team in the last 15 years during his term.  He is a poor decision maker, especially on the break, and will often jump in the air without a clue as to what to do next.  He's a decent 3 point shooter, but with his terrible form, his shot leaves too low and slowly to be effective in the NBA.  The good news is that he makes good use of his size and he can penetrate and slash at will.  He improved quite a bit during his senior year and really upped his assist average.  He was still prone to careless turnovers, but he will only continue to improve, especially if he's working under Bibby.  I'm very excited that the Kings signed him and I expect that if he makes the 15-man roster, you'll see steadily improve and increase his minutes throughout the season.  He's not a reliable backup yet, but he's certainly worth your patience.
