Marvin would def be an upgrade over Cassipi/Gee IMO. You guys dont think so?

I'll take Gee over Marvin 7 days a week.

Marvin would likely be an upgrade over Asspi though.

Gee's stats are a little better offensively and he give 100% on defense and on the glass.

Yeah Gee does have a little better stats offensively, but he also has next to nobody else who scores on that team. Marvin has some weapons around him and has his whole career pretty mcuh. I just think that Marvin has way more upside, but you're right abotu the defensive end

Actually after looking.

Marvin puts up better numbers on offense per minute than Gee does. They score almost identical per 36 mins. But Marvin Rebounds the ball better per minute, passes better and shoots from deep better. I honestly havent watched either play too much defense though, so i take your word about the defensive end and Gee

Watching Gee last year, I would agree that Marvin has much more upside. However, Gee has improved by leaps and bounds this year, suprisingly. Personally, I see Gee and Williams as a wash.

tristan thompson has been really impressing me lately. obviously the offensive game is extremely raw but there's nothing there that can't be developed through work with a big man coach in the off-season (he's already showing that he's willing to put in the work just through his prowess on the defensive end). maybe a lamarcus aldridge/marcus camby hybrid down the road

I just wish he could make a FT.

He went 3/4 last night. The coaches altered his FT shot over the break and he won't leave practice until he makes 10 in a row.

10 in a row?

You cant get in a groove, see Shaw or Dwight. I would make him stay until he hit 70 of 100.

I think Marvin is definitely the better player, but he's not good enough for me to have any interest in the Cavs making a run at him. I like the rumor for one of the Lakers 1st round picks more.

Eh, you probably don't want to break him lol. 70/100 would probably keep you all night. I think taking an incremental approach is the right way.

Again, 3/4 is a small sample size, but his form looked MUCH better. A lot more arch to the ball. His form wasn't really bad to begin with though.

Either way, if the only complaint we have on T2 is FT shooting we're in good shape.

Cavs need to pick it up in the 4th, they shouldn't be this close right now.
