<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Shawn Marion reaffirmed that small forward is his preferred position, even though he winds up playing a lot of power forward for the Phoenix Suns . "I guess that's the way we can be more effective," Marion said. "I'm not a big man. I'm 6-7, 230 pounds. I can guard them occasionally. It just wears and tears on you. I'd rather play my natural position - three. But whatever's going to help us win, I'm willing to do."</div> Source
Well, after watching Amare rip up the Grizzlies last night and Diaw coming around, Marion probably doesn't need to worry about playing many minutes at PF. I'm curious to see what happens with the guard rotation when Bell comes back. Barbosa has been on fire to start the season.

<div class="quote_poster">kobe23 Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">im think barbosa is already better than bell</div> He's better offensively, but not on the defensive end.

Marion is a all-around forward to me. But his no. 1 position has to be small forward. He's pretty fast and he can post them much better than PF's. His range is very OK, too.
