Marquis' best games were last year during the final stretch where our lineup was: Toine, Dirk, Fin/Twan, Quis, Nash.
If you're an opponent, who'd you relax on? An undrafted rookie or one of the 4 All-Stars? Exactly!!
Marquis benefitted significantly under the Nellie scheme of spread the floor with 5 offensive guys.
He could penetrate and shoot his 6-foot floaters all game.

But in a different scheme where defense & defensive players are the primary focus, he is not getting the same shots and looks.
Moreover, he's no longer the undrafted rookie. He's got his big contract and people know him well now.

I hope he works hard on his game this off-season to come back better and hopefully have a long and fruitful career as a Maverick.
