you never know because Marion has never had to do that so far in his career with Kidd and Penny and now Marbury and amare
In this case we do know because Marion hasn't shown the ability to create his own shot, which is something a first option needs to do. He is too complacent; doesn't attack the defense, he is too satisfied with just standing behind the three point line and waiting for a rebound to bounce his way. Mashburn is a guy that can attack an offense in an assortment of ways.

He is still very young and is a great player and a all-star in the west.
Who said he doesn't get a lot of boards? <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Marion will get better. He is still very young and is a great player and a all-star in the west.</div> Doesn't change the fact that Mash is better than him right now.

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Who said he doesn't get a lot of boards?</div> well to get alot of boards like he does he cant just wait for the ball to come to him
I meant he waits around the three point for the ball to bounce his way for most of his scoring opportunities.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting "sunsfan1357":</div><div class="quote_post">I meant he waits around the three point for the ball to bounce his way for most of his scoring opportunities.</div> He drives to the hoop a lot. he has a nice outside shot also.

He hardly drives to the hoop anymore. It's like he has Vince Carter syndrome. And he has an OKAY outside shot, nothing great.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting "sunsfan1357":</div><div class="quote_post">Ok...what was the point of mentioning that?</div> cause you were talking about how he hardly drives to the hoop and therefore doesnt go to the line
