Bazemore is a 6-5 shooting guard out of Old Dominion. He was originally signed as an undrafted free agent by the Golden State Warriors in 2012. The Warriors dealt him to the Lakers last season along with Marshon Brooks for Steve Blake.

After not seeing much playing time while with the Warriors, Bazemore put up impressive numbers with the Lakers where he averaged 13.1 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 28 minutes.

The Phoenix Suns, Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks were other teams that reportedly contacted Bazemore's representatives.

Update:

Alex Kennedy of BasketballInsiders.com reports that the Hawks were the first team to contact Bazemore when free agency opened.
