    Matt Barnes is a great hustle player. He's making it ihn the league for his work ethic, if anything.

He is known for his hustle plays more than anything. He has a good mid range shot too, and his defense isn't bad.

Without Gordon's range he would still be a slightly good role player but not even close to the same potential he has now.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (CB4AllStar @ Jun 26 2007, 07:21 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Just barely staying alive...</div>His hustle and rebounding was the reason why he stayed in the league. Yeah, he played for so many different teams it isn't even funny but he made a living and was making the paper...but now he's found some offense to compliment his already valuable game. If he didn't find his shot he would still be playing.

    Donyell Marshall was a very good forward in his prime. He averaged 8,9,10 rebounds a game when he was playing at his highest level. He is clearly more of a 3-point style of player but he could definately do more than just shoot 3's.And Antoine Walker is anything but this. He could shoot the 3, but not good, he's never been a good 3-point shooter, he just fires up so many of them that he hits a good amount of them for a player at his position. It was probably the biggest flaw of his game. Toine could rebound, run the floor, pass the ball, see the court well when he was on the Celtics. He was much more than just a player who could chuck 3's.
