His job is to provide lock down defense, anything beyond that is a blessing, or a curse if you have to actually watch him shoot the ball  haha |
Compare Marion (11.5 pts at 49.9% for $6.6 million)to the 12 points a night the Spurs are getting from Jefferson for 14 million a year, or the 40% shooting 16.5 points Orlando is getting out of Vince Carter for 16 million, or the 12.3 points Turkoglu is giving Toronto, and clearly Marion is the most productive for the least money of any of the big $ 3's that switched teams this summer.
Maybe we could hire Juann Howard to teach Marion how to make his shot less ugly. Otherwise, this is a brilliant addition by the MBT.
