Marshall or Lillard?

[3RA1N1AC]

Exactly. There's already two bigs that are highly rated in Cody Zeller and McAdoo. I'm sure there will be plenty more that emerge.

nerlens noel is gonna be a BEAST as well

 

[3RA1N1AC]

No, sir!

I get the sense that the Blazers want a vet PG to fill that void.

Other factors why I'm Robison-over-Beal is the crop of PF/C in the next two drafts: it's as weak as it's been in years. The Blazers need major help with their froncourt. Can't hurt getting a monster like T-Rob.

next year actually looks good for bigs if some of the 6'11" guys can add a few lbs

The best comparison [for Marshall] I can think of right now, based on his game as he enters the NBA draft, is Sergio Rodriguez

Sergio did this today in a big win (85-59!) over Barcelona in the ACB finals:

Real would have already won 3-0 if not for this:

sergio with a shot is a pretty damn good player

Article on Marshall (and his shooting):

The resume' building on the so-called area of weakness began in the final game of the regular season, though it was hardly a regular-season game. Carolina at Duke never is. With more intensity ricocheting around Cameron Indoor Stadium than a lot of teams would see in a single-elimination postseason contest, Marshall made seven of 15 shots and scored 20 points.

In the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament, he went five of nine, including three of four behind the arc, against Maryland. Then, five of eight against North Carolina State, followed by six of 13 against Florida State.

The NCAA tournament began with connecting on five of seven shots against Vermont and seven of eight against Creighton in the round of 32, before breaking his right (non-shooting) wrist with 10:56 remaining in Greensboro, N.C.

Sergio with a shot is a decent back-up who can't guard a chair and turns the ball over at an alarming rate.

Poor shooting was just ONE of Sergio's glaring weaknesses that he never improved in 4 years in the NBA. He still has a long way to go to be a "damn good" player.

I think if you want a player like Lillard, there are dozens playing overseas. Good shooting, low-PG skills players of about 6'-6'3" are pretty dang common. Real PG skills are much rarer.

I like tall slower PGs with court vision.... I love Kidd/Andre and now Marshall. Sorry.

SHIT!!!!!!!!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

SHIT!!!!!!!!

LOL! FINALLY IT COMES OUT!

 

[THE HCP]

Your reasoning? Chad Ford said they haven't seen a passer like him in a decade. We see scorers like Lillard all the time. Lillard = Damon Part 2

DOUBLE SHIT!!!!!!!!!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

DOUBLE SHIT!!!!!!!!!

Hey, for all we know, us Marshall-lovers could end up being right. People mocked Presti for taking Harden when Tyreke Evans won rookie of the year...

 

[Nikolokolus]

I'm still a fan of Marshall ... Not saying I'd want him over Damian now, but I still think he'll end up OK.

Hey kids...... this is a great example of the Captain goin' down with the ship.

Marshall could end up being an Erick Snow type of player. I don't think he'll ever be an All-Star, but he could be a solid player on a playoff team.

 

[Nikolokolus]

DOUBLE SHIT!!!!!!!!!

Your opinion means nothing to me. If I could un-rep you I would!
