He's been just a'ite in the NBA, but Bayless should get a chance to do some things in New Orleans, who got him for a 2nd round pick. Not a bad move by the Hornets seeing as how they would have ended up wasting that 2nd round pick on some piece of garbage who doesn't belong in the NBA anyway. Heck, this is the same franchise that used a lottery pick on Hilton Armstrong, who happens to suck.
Bayless will come in and be expected to back up Chris Paul at the point. But also don't be surprised to see Bayless at the 2-guard. He's an athlete dude that can handle the ball, finish at the room, and shoot 35% from 3 point range. Paul will be able to max out his talent. Listed at 6'3", he would be a fairly small shooting guard. But this will work in spurts.
With the additions of Bayless and Ariza, this team has become more athletic and dynamic. They still need an athletic big to complement these pieces. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of athletic 7-footers who are on the market.
