Shabazz Muhammad had an outstanding 1st day at the Adidas Super 64 in Las Vegas today.

Muhammad, a lefty, can deftly go each way. He was throwing down dunks with ease over players that have much more body mass and height than him. (Muhammad’s a sturdy 6 feet, 5 inches.) He also crossed up a few guys from about 22 feet and swished 3s as Mike Krzyzewski, John Calipari, Josh Pastner, Ben Howland and other drooling coaches in the hunt for his services looked on from the light-gray bleachers.
It was incredibly impressive, most of all, because his team came behind to beat the Atlanta Celtics, a team that’s one of the more stacked groups in the country. Muhammad had 38 points, continuing his trend of filling up scorebooks this month. His 38 comes in an economical way, if that makes sense. He’s certainly not a ballhog.
Afterward, a small swarm of reporters — myself included — got about two minutes with the future NBA lottery pick (only an unforseen injury or life on the lam will prevent that from happening) before his coach got him out of the gym as quickly as possible.
“I’m taking it slow,” he said of not only the recruiting process, but the pressure that’s supposed to exist on his 17-year-old shoulders. “I’m going to focus on [teams recruiting me] in August, after the AAU season.”
