2014 NBA free agency rumors: Kent Bazemore searching for 'a chance to prove' himself

2

"It was an unfortunate situation for myself with Golden State, I did make the team, but they were so guard heavy... I was fortunate enough to go down to LA, where there were a lot of minutes out there on the floor and I was able to kind of show [what I can do]... My [sample] size is very small. I just need a chance to prove myself again, so minutes are definitely the first thing I’m after. Everything else is just basketball. You hear a lot of guys talking about the bad cities of the NBA and all of that, but a guy like me, I just want another opportunity to go out there and show that I can really be a great player in this league."

The Golden State Warriors are among the teams pursuing free agent Kent Bazemore, but their already-crowded guard rotation makes it extremely unlikely that he'll return to the Bay.

In any event, the whole interview is great - it's really hard not to root for this guy.
