Rookie Shabazz Muhammad may very well by a fine addition to the Timberwolves, but his addition is far from fine. First, he couldn't calculate his actual age, which the L.A. Times learned in March was one year older than he had been claiming. This week, the 14th pick in the draft convinced us he can't correctly count.
At his introductory press conference, Muhammad said he selected the jersey number zero because, "Nobody wears zero in the league, so I might as well wear zero." That's simply naught true.
According to our computations (completed on our trusty TI-85 after we used it to type out "8008"*), 15 players last season - including fellow former Bruin Russell Westbrook and rookie of the year Damian Lillard - donned the digit. First-year pros are expected to have some struggles, but not sum struggles.
