Bazemore has been with Under Armour since 2012, and was reportedly a significant factor in Under Armour signing Stephen Curry away from Nike.
Bazemore, who played his college ball at Old Dominion, went undrafted and has been in the NBA since the 2012-13 season, where he began with the Golden State Warriors. Bazemore also spent some time with the Los Angeles Lakers, before signing with the Hawks in September of 2014.
Bazemore has been in Atlanta since then, and signed a four-year deal worth $70 million in the summer of 2016.
Last year with the Hawks, Bazemore averaged 11 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.4 asissts and 1.2 steals per game on 40.9 percent shooting. It was a bit of a step down from his 2015-16 campaign, but Bazemore is a good player. He won’t put up All-Star numbers, but he’ll give you solid offense and good defense.
