Either way, Marion is a stat beast. I'm not a fantasy guy but you can tell from what kind of player he is that he will totally tear it up when it comes to getting good stats.
not to be a homer, but umm LOOK AT THE FRIGGIN STATS!!!PPG 17.9 RPG 10.30 APG 1.7 EFF + 24.63 I can't find the exact rankings for efficency, but I'm sure it's right up there with those guys.

He's asking fantasy wise. In terms of Fantasy player, Marion is probably the best player in the league. Shawn Marion went first in all five of my fantasy basketball leagues this year.
KG is a better fantasy player than Marion he averages more points and rebounds and assists. And LeBron averages more points about 6 or 7 rebounds and 6 or 7 assists.
What's your point? I agree that they are better even though it was a tough choice early in the season by Marion is top 3 and at least top 5....there is not argument, that is a fact...Edit: Actually, you're wrong on LeBron. The only thing he beats Marion in are points and assists and he only has 5 more made 3's which would be like .1 more per game right?. Marion has the advantage in %'s, rebounds, steals, blocks and has half the turnovers LeBron has. He would be a better choice right now in a H2H league. The only way LeBron is better this year is if you're in a points league that rewards points and assists cats. heavily.

Now we know KG is first. LeBron went first in both of my leagues, once by me, and now I know it should've been KG.
Ya true true KG went 2nd in my league and Bron first. Shawn Marion got picked 9th in my draft, right after Arenas.

He's better than probably all of those players in the majority of categories. Marion should never be picked lower than 5th because of how he can give you a good amount of everything, even though his numbers are a little down with Amare back.
Ya well this is like the first time I have done fantasy even though I am really into basketball and a lot of people in my league pay attention to basketball but don't know like know a whole lot about it. I had the 4th pick and got Wade. My draft went....1.Lebron2.Garnett3.Bryant4.Wade5.Nowitzki6.Iverson7.Nash8.ArenasSecond Round:9.Marion10.Melo11.Pierce12.Carter13.T-Mac14.Brand15.Paul16.Billups (Bad pick)Notice no Duncan or Michael Redd

He's thought very highly of in NBA circles, and considered a top 20 NBA player right now.As far as fantasy is concerned he's anywhere from 1st to 5th best player.He's not underrated at all.

When he played against the Spurs two years ago, he was a no show, and last year agaisnt the Lakers, Lamar Odom absolutley abused the sh*t out of him. He is a very versatile player and all, but everybody knows that....His stats are boosted because of what team he plays for. Steve Nash is the best pg in the game, and he makes him look better than he is. Everyone knows that Marion is a good player, but he is nothing more than just a good player. He is definitely not underrated.
