Bazemore (foot) will take a limited approach throughout training camp, but should be ready to go come season start, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.

Analysis:

Bazemore had foot surgery in April and was expected to be ready to go come training camp, but the Hawks will take the safe approach and bring him along slowly to start. After being traded to the Lakers at the trade deadline last season, he had a coming out party and averaged 13.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 1.3 steals, while playing 28 minutes per game. As soon as he's 100 percent healthy, he'll be battling with Thabo Sefolosha for playing time behind Kyle Korver as the backup shooting guard. It's highly unlikely he'll repeat his averages from the second half of last season, as he shouldn't get nearly the minutes he was receiving with the Lakers.
