The Suns have been pretty inconsistent with his minutes, but when given a chance he has really shined. Last night was his first start and he managed 17 points and 9 boards in just under thirty minutes. I think losing him will be big because I just don't trust Jacobsen out there really. Zarko was really the perfect backup for Marion because he would slash to the basket, give huge amounts of energy to the team, and just plain out do what the team needed to try and help the team win. Jacobsen is more of a laid back player who doesn't slash, but stays out on the perimeter. The Suns will need him to pick up his energy (and defense) when he's out on the floor. Luckily Zarko got injured near the beginning of the season so he can still eventually come back and contribute.
I think it all depends on how long Marrion is out; which shouldn't be long. The Suns are a good enough team to make up for Zarko's absence. If the Suns are all healthy come playoff time....watch out.
