<{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>I don't understand why so many people want to keep Marcus. He's a ball-hog, who dribbles far too much, shooting ridiculous shots, getting 75% of his layups blocked. Don't blame Frank for benching him. He deserves to be benched. If we can get something solid in return, get rid of him.</div>
what Marcus Williams have you've been watching ? last I checked the Nets wanted him to regain his scoring touch, he has never been greedy , nowhere near watever the hell your insinuating. I 'm seeing this text and if people didn't know better
they'd say your calling him Stephon Marbury the 2nd. Marcus moves the ball, and he drives and kicks it out, on a fastbreak he always gets guys the wide open shot. The 3pt shots are to stretch the floor, Kidd takes the same amount of 3's and bricks more than MW but no one saids a damn thing. What I see w/ Marcus is young Mark Jackson getting no consistant minutes and w/ no head coach because Lawrence Frank is what he is right now a damn disgrace as a coach, he right now makes Isiah Thomas look like a better coaching option.
</div>
I am calling him a second coming of Mebury in a way.
Whether you want to believe if or not, Marcus is a ball hog. He was last year, and he hasn't changed so far this year. He dribbles FAR too much around the perimeter and nearly every time he drives, his shot is blocked because he barely gets 3 inches off the ground. This basically makes his only offensive scoring weapon his jump shot, which is far from dependable.
I haven't even mentioned his deficiencies on defense.
</div>
my man he's 22 years old, coming off injury , I still don't understand what the hell you calling him a ballhog, you know I was a damn Knick fan and experienced the worse passing team in MSG history, the worst PG tandems in NBA history, nowhere in Marcus Williams do I or did I see ballhog in him
</div>
What does his age or the fact that he was injured have ANYTHING to do with his style of play? He played the same last year when he wasn't injured.
Watch the games. He's a ball-hog. Go through the game threads and see how many times it's mentioned by NUMEROUS people.
</div>
I don't see it mentioned by numerous people at all and again I don't see how he's a ballhog and how 22 yrs. of age has nothing to do w/ it, it's a perfectly known fact more playing time would give him confidence and alot of NBA players need that. I've checked alot of gamethreads trust me RGM, PSD, NYYFANS....none have been talking about MW as a ballhog infact this season there has been more sniping at Kidd for his ability to not protect to the ball at the end of games. I just think no one can change your mind about MW because you simply don't like something about him but when he's leading that next team w/ 17/7/5 and you start hearing why they traded him don't join in.
