I'm interested to see if he takes advantage of such an opportunity. This time he won't have anyone to blame, but himself.
Please. Once they lost Davis, this team was in the crapper. So to even link M. Williams to the terrible season the warriors are going to have is premature. This team is rebuilding. Bottom line. This is a fairly young team.
Here is a thought. Which current players have the largest spread between their FT% and their FG% when shooting two-point jump shots? Is Marcus atop the list? If so, what would it say about him?
You're giving Baron a whole lot more credit than Warrior management did. They're not that young. Once you give players like Monta and Biedrins mega contracts they are no longer kids with potential. They also have Maggette, Harrington, Turiaf and Stephen Jackson. That's not rebuilding.
Please that is called cleaning up after you make a mess. This team is done. Maggette is overrated. Harrington still has no position. Is he a SF or a PF? yeah Monta (already out for 3 months) and Biedrins got big contracts but they are still developing players in the NBA.
No, apparently it is hard because I now have to spell out the purpose of my post for you. When Marcus was drafted, I literally jumped around my house because I felt we had finally acquired a capable back-up (and future successor) for Jason Kidd. After his first season, I did not give up hope for him even though a large portion of Nets fan had. Once I endured this last season though, my patience had run thin and I was convinced Marcus was nothing more than a cancer who didn't give a crap about winning or his teammates. Once he was traded to Golden State, I let out a big sigh of relief knowing that I wouldn't have to deal with him any longer. When I read the title to this thread, I couldn't help but laugh. You see, I'm a humorous guy, and the fact that Marcus is starting on any NBA team is funny to me. So I decided to make a fairly comedic response to express my humor and to say what I think Marcus will do as a starter. Maybe my original post would have been better suited with a smiley. Here, how's this.
he forgot to add "NOT" at the end [video=youtube;-tR91q59gFo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tR91q59gFo[/video]
I'd be happy if that's his line at the end of the season. Really, considering he will probably only cost 2 second round picks that's pretty good. How is he at rebounding his position? That was one of Monta's biggest contributions to the Ws. Aside from Biedrins, Baron and Monta were their 2 best rebounders last season.
He averaged 11.1 ppg, 4.0 rpg, 6.3 apg, 1.1 spg in 30.4 mpg as a starter last season. I can't imagine how any of those numbers would go down in Nellie's offense. There will be way more possessions, more fast breaks, Nellie will let him shoot as he pleases, he'll have plenty of weapons to dish it to, he'll probably play more minutes while Monta is injured. I think he'll put up pretty damn good stats but agree that it won't translate to winning.
The Warriors are a better passing team than the Nets. His APG could certainly go down because of that or because of SJax and Maggs working for their own shots.
Not much to add to this. He could be top 5 in APG this year with enough minutes, but the Warriors are totally screwed if he gets that much time. The more he looks for his shot, the less effective he and the Warriors will be. I think he'll be shooting a lot.
