Around SBN: What If This Is It For The Celtics? End Of An Era Looming

Brooks With 25 in Charity Game

Ross Mena for Kore Magazine

We don't know who among those invited actually showed up Saturday for the Damien Wilkins Monster Slam Dunk in Atlanta...but a lot of good NBA players did.  Nor have we seen a boxscore or a game report.

Still, a reliable source tells NetsDaily that MarShon Brooks stole the show at the charity exhibition game in Atlanta Saturday, scoring 25 points and winning raves for a couple of dunks, including this one off a Jeff Teague miss.

Among the others who did play at Clark Atlanta University Saturday: Jordan Crawford, Shannon Brown, Joe Johnson, Chris Wilcox, Louis Williams, Jarrett Jack, Trey Thompkins, Jordan Crawford, Jeff Green, Derrick Favors, and Solomon Jones

After the game, Brooks tweeted, "Good game vs the fellas...." without details. When we noted we had heard it was more than just a good game, the Nets rookie replied, "I'm very hard on myself pal", then later added, "played pretty well! Missed a few bunnies..."  But a fan at the game was less restrained, telling a Nets owner, "Hov this boy MarShon Brooks is the truth from the nets."

Funny but ain’t it the truth? It’s nice to hear positive compliments from people, but there’s a link to the live stream of the game and the defense is laughable.

Samardo Samuels was killing the Lockout League. That tells you all you need to know. There are plenty of talented offensive players in this league who don’t really know how to score against a good defense. In the minimal defense leagues, you see these guys throw up meaningless points.

Above all, until I see Marshon Brooks playing in an NBA game versus NBA athletes who have a contract to live up to, I’m not going to trust these stats. Please just let this lock-out end.

Least of your problems with Marshon

Is scoring he’s a natural at it, saw him at Baruch earlier this summer and you could see how his length is going to make it hard for defenders to stay in front of him, plus he’s quicker in person than I thought he would be off the dribble.

And others started to like him because we drafted him.

Please read this very thread:

VC/TMac/Manu caliber player
All Star

And you guys complain because a couple of people don’t get carried away by a pick-up game. Most people here like the kid, be happy with that, not all of us have to think the same way and believe this guy is the 2nd coming of Kobe Bryant.

I'm telling you.

The Bulls will regret passing on him. He was exactly what they needed.

Now, I don’t think he’s the next Kobe Bryant. Quite frankly, I don’t even think he’ll be an all-star; but he’s very good something that the Nets surely need: scoring. He’s also got some good defensive potential. Excited to see him play … next November.

by Shameer1016 on Nov 5, 2011 7:16 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah I whole heartedly agree

They missed out big time, the only reason why I would not rule out allstar, is becasue of the head on his shoulders he works hard, a lot of players just don’t want it enough, as well as seeing him play in person against Jamario Moon, moon is a long athletic dude did not really tower over him length wise, his hands are HUGE. Important becasue Courtney Lee was more 6’3 he is more 6’6 with his size.

The one thing I will say is that Marshon has some pretty sick handles. There is a point in the game where he does two behind the backs to get the defender off of him and both are pretty nasty.

This needs no translation hehe +1

Mission accomplished thus far.

Well maybe not a great player

but I see your point and agree but Marshon just can’t become a Jordan like figure because he would need to be option one with a solid team. Plus he’s going to need to take a lot of shots to touch 30ppg. With his athleticism, range, and hard work he can become similar to many SG the NBA has seen, but this is speaking on best case scenario. He can become a Wade, Ginoboli, Carter, T-Mac, Rudy Gay, Granger, etc. Once again, best case scenario.

but there are plenty of teams who would have taken jordan #2.

how would you have been able to manage Mj and Clyde in the same backcourt? (for either chicago or portland because chicago passed up on drexler the year before)

thats like trying to play Kobe and Wade side-by-side. do you think its really going to work? what coach can handle that tension?

this kid is special and is mentally right. he has done all the right things, was picked with the 25th pick, and he is putting up numbers.

 I mean come on. This reminds me of the nets playoff years when people were soseeing ignorant, they couldn’t even comprehend what they were seeing.

It seems everytime MarShon Brooks plays

he scores a ton regardless of who he is playing against. So far its all good news on the kid. Makes me kinda “care” that the strike may be over soon.

he will be special

lets not forget that in EVERY athletic measurement in pre-draft camp, he scored higher than T-Will, Damien James and Derrick Favors…and he can shoot and score.

Those measurements include: vertical leap, both no-step and one-step; 3/4 court sprint; and lane agility. He was equal or better in all of those measurements that all of those three guys.

From what i saw earlier, Morrows ball handling has improved.

love it

very excited to see him play. how did he compare with CDR?

by JerseysFinest. on Nov 6, 2011 1:09 AM EDT up reply actions  

so did CDR, which took all the way to 12th man status on two of the worst teams in the NBA

not saying marsh will be a bust but confidence isnt everything

deron williams is better than kyrie irving

by William_H_HOLLA on Nov 6, 2011 1:15 AM EDT up reply actions  

CDR didnt get along with people

there are no doubt comparisons, but he had problems. Every coach he played for in the NBA (except Frank) had issues with him, and that includes people like Kiki Vandeweghe and Scott Skiles who are about as opposite as you can get.

T-Will is different. He has real skills but I am sure he is all there.

Judging...

From the defense in that video I could have scored 10 points in that game.

Nevertheless I’m hoping MarShon can step in from day 1 and produce.
