It's hard to get a good comp on Shabazz since he's a good but not great athlete who likes to spot up from midrange and/or post up guys on the blocks. Who does that anymore in the NBA at 6-6?

Evans is a career 27% from 3PT, so that 37% appears to be more of a small sample size thing than anything else (and he still takes less than two a game so the confidence isn't there in it). Maybe he's learned to be more disciplined with it, though. Either way, I've thought Smart is a perfect comp for him for a while now.
Harden's 6'5 220, Shabazz is 6'6 225. But, of course, he doesn't have the same kind of handles or court vision. It's difficult to find a close comp for him, but I think he still has a lot of room to develop.
