Jerryd Bayless

Grade: B-

Going from a blue to green uniform has not changed Bayless’ game one bit. He is still the same old high volume shooting point guard. Bayless has been shooting 42.2 percent from the field as a Celtic–a decent increase from 37.7 in Memphis. Still, 42.2 percent is way below the ideal mark for a point guard. The “B-” grade is a generous one. While Bayless’s performance in green dedicates a grade “C” grade, trading for him allows to Celtics to further tank. If Boston’s goal is to unload contracts and get high picks Bayless is their man.
