Marco as Point Guard

last season with consistent PT he had some nice games at the end against the grizzlies, and the sonics

In fact when Marco was drafted Nelson did mention that he might see time at the PG, but he’d not even seen him play in person. Marco was Mullin’s pick all the way. Then they picked CJ up after Nelson had seen MB up close.

Last season, in Nelson’s eyes CJ was better than Marco despite Marco’s size and international experience advantages, and the stats support it.

This summer they brought in Williams to supplant CJ as backup PG, so that would suggest Marco is behind both of them there, as well as behind Jackson, Maggs, and KAz at the wing. And if Wright improves, the best chance to get Randolph any minutes may be at the SF.

While the injury to Ellis certainly opens up the opportunity for him to compete against some pedestrian point guards, Marco’s getting squeezed out unless he proves he can outperform them. My question montadaboss, is why or how did you relaunch your post keeping the poll results and ditching the comments?

 Me too, when Bellynelllie comes into a game my energy level just plummets. When he sits back down on the bench I feel much better. If he shows up in street clothes I’m very high.

I dunno but I like the fact that we have a pure shooter on our team. If this guy gets enough PT i wouldn’t be surprised to see him as a kyle korver type of player. If he plays the point i can see him swinging the ball to magette, magette drives and kicks back to belli and knocks down the 3.

he had a few huge games but also bad ones. Plenty of players in the NBA have had a big night when they would score 30+ points. It’s only worth mentioning if they do it consistently, and he didn’t even do that in summer league.

nearly enough to trust him to play the 1.

but YES his stroke is like none other on our team.

I’d feel more safe with bellinelli on the floor than matt barnes, heck even pietrus. We know what we’ll get with Belli, that’s instant offense. It kinda suck he did so good during summer league because it just put incredibly high expectations on him. It’s not like he sucks either, he only played 33 games last season, averaging around 7 minutes. They never even ran ANY plays for him. I think he was a steal at the 18th pick a year ago. Maybe because I’m part italian I believe in Marco, but I cant wait to see a thread in the future with everyone on his ballsack.

He would get manhandled by the other PG and jack way too many contested 3’s ala Baron. I was high on him before, and hope he still can fill a need for us, but at Shooting guard
