The Efficiency of MarShon Brooks
by Net Income on Jan 23, 2012 5:47 PM EST
Email
PrintThe New York Times has taken notice of MarShon Brooks. In an "Off the Dribble" column, Rob Mahoney talks about how Brooks' "per-minute scoring and overall efficiency rank with the best players at his position – a lofty achievement considering that Brooks’ N.B.A. career isn’t yet a month old".
What amazes Mahoney is how Brooks' numbers are a "product of efficient shooting (he was 53 percent from the field overall in those five games) rather than thoughtless shot-hunting," putting him in the 88th percentile in half-court scoring efficiency ... not just for rookies but for all NBA players.
Hard-wired to shoot (and score), Mahoney writes, but in a refined manner. Ken Berger agrees, calling Brooks the "Rookie dark horse" in his quarterly report on the NBA season.

Wilbon talking about Amare and Chandler for dwight
“its a great deal for both sides”
Im getting scared because it does sound like a pretty good deal
Amare has been trash this season, has no knees, and 80 million dollars on an uninsured contract.
I could be wrong, but I believe thats the only uninsured contract in the entire league

With Amare's health issue and long guaranteed contract
It might be worse than letting Dwight walk. Chandler’s contract is nothing to laugh at either. I mean it will certainly help short-term but gotta think long term. Hmm but then that old owner is not thinking long-term at all….
Man I just confused myself
why? dwight isn't coming here for brook and picks... just forget about that
it’s gonna take ever tradable asset the nets have in a 3 way deal that will leave them looking like the knicks. they’re better off if dwight goes elsewhere and they trade toad to one of the teams on his list for whatever draft picks they can muster.

Really...
… it’s the Magic owner, Rich DeVos, that wants to win now. He gave the axe to the proposed Bropez, Crash Wallace, picks, et cetera deal.
It's a good deal...
… for the Knicks since they get a dominating center and the best at his position. Although they could still use a facilitator, not another finisher. Both Chandler and STAT have injury concerns to whatever degree and would be a strain to the Magic’s salary cap. It’s just a stupid trade for the Magic… then again, we are talking about the Magic.
If you’re going to rebuild, you get cap space and you get draft picks. That’s why I’m not overly concerned if Dwight and Deron DON’T join up with the Nets. They Nets would have young talented players in Bropez and Swag, plus cap space and multiple draft picks… the pieces to a true rebuild.
Of course, I’d rather have Dwight and D-Will (re-) sign in the offseason. :)
LOL
That would be worse then trading for Arenas.
I hope ORL does that trade and they will be the laughing stock of the NBA.
Dwight would walk from Knicks when he realizes that Melo is a ball hog and doesnt like to pass the ball. Who would be their PG again.
Dwight doesnt want to join that mess. Go right ahead ORL It would be great to see Dwight leave Knicks to join Nets.
i can see the knicks and orlando doing this deal...
amare is playing horrible because of the melo factor. his numbers would pick up on the magic. and yes both amare and chandler are injury prone, but our center that we are offering is now out with a broken foot. And no one knows how that is going to turn out for the long run…
Bottom line is that if this owner wants to win now, the knicks deal is the best one. whether us nets fans like it or not.

the Knicks are losing not because amare and chandler suck
but because Amara and Melo are too similar and also they have no depth. so if you trade Amare he will do good wherever he goes. He was doing great before Melo got there to hog up the ball
His efficiency is gonna take a hit tonight
This Bulls team is so good defensively
Marshon VS Iman: Bring the rivalry on my nuiikkkass!!!
This board is unbelievable lately
every other post is about Amare and Melo.
This thread should be about MarShon Brooks.
I really enjoy watching Marshon...
We really need ORL to keep Dwight past the deadline…otherwise Marshon is gone.
It is so obvious that getting a team is not the best way to build but we will have no choice if ORL forces our hand at the deadline.
I agree...
Marshon probably gives us a better package than the Lakers unless they throw in Gasol and take bad contracts. Still not sure Dwight wants to go to a gutted Lakers team and carry Kobe’s bags.
Giving Brook, Brooks, lottery pick and cap space is a huge haul for ORL. Unfortunately, I assume we would give them whatever they ask for.
MarShon will be better than Kobe
Might go down as the best to ever play the game when it’s all said and done.

Love Marshon's ability to score but...
I wish he would move without the ball a bit more to try and get easier baskets or drive to the rim more often.
Its hard to argue when hes hitting shots but 10 dribbles and a long fade away with a hand in the face is not a high % shot over the long haul.
If he's consistently making it

Deron is maybe the best post PG in the NBA. MarShon also seems to do a good job working in the post. Both guys are really great in the half court. Morrow is a perfect compliment to them in the half-court. When Brook comes back, after everyone gets acclimated, this team is a perfect half-court slow pace team (on offense).
MarShon is the best and deserves the capital letter in his name.

I wonder if Dwill should be on Brewer and
Marshon should guard Rose…
would like to see marshon on rose some, I believe deron can guard the bulls shooting guards for sure, rip in his prime would give him trouble but he aint what he used to be
by Andrew Flynn on Jan 23, 2012 7:07 PM EST up reply actions
and be careful what u say...
a few PG’s well beyond their prime have given Dwill fits. (See Billups, Andre Miller, etc.)
No Rose would destroy MarShon he needs to stick to RIP
Rose is to fast and quick for MarShon defernsively as a rookie.
"We're not there yet, but we're going somewhere," Johnson said. "And we're going to Brooklyn. We're not going to contract. We're going to Brooklyn."
definitely. but unless Dwill can go 100% on the D effort, I'd rather at least get the occasional
length advantage Marshon maintains.
But I’ll leave these important coaching decisions to Avery, ahem.
MarShon!
Who else is worth watching on this team after DWill? The kid is electric, smart, and effective. I think when Farmar is on the floor, Farmar hogs too much and should get the ball to MarShon and get out of the way.
I'm glad...
the arena isn’t affecting his shots like its affecting D-Will…lol
I like the confidence this kid has. He is only going to get better…Nets should keep him. Please BK do not include him in a potential deal for Howard.
Still early
A few more months with this kid and if he keeeps performing like this the Nets can try to get a good market value for DWill.
trade
nets get devin ebanks, cj miles, and darius morris
lakers get devin harris, and larry owens
jazz get metta world peace, damion james, and jordanfarmar
Utah won't do it,
CJ is highly apreciatted in Salt Lake and Devin Harris despite his poor play this season, still has some status and can turn a round, he isn’t that old. And they are winning, they won’t make any major move, that can affect their rotation.

What we seen from Deron last night is what he should have been doing from the get go, set up other guys(hit/miss) and take his shots when he can. Going to Brooks when you need a bucket. Good players know what they do well and stick to it.
We play some good D and we can win this. I just hope the Nets don’t calapse the whole team on a driving player, cost us too many open 3s.

Favorite NET?
The season is not a month old, but MarShon has become my favorite player on the court.
I used to be a Brook Lopez guy, and I will be again, when he comes back. I just love MarShon’s game and moxy, and his defense is improving game by game. I just think he is a special talent, and at pick 25, he is one of the five best rookies this year, maybe even top three. I sure hope we choose to develop him, and mentor him and KEEP HIM! I think by the end of the year, if he continues to play, he will be good enough to be a starting two on a 2nd round playoff team. I’d sure like to get to Brooklyn with three players: MarShon, Brook & Dwill.

Marshon has a chance to toe 50%. Shot selection, smarts, PLUS skill. He might not dunk as well as Vince Carter, and he might not average 20+ pts per game for a season.
But Marshon will sure as hell help a team win more due to his efficiency.
Remember, in response to a fan’s question, Kidd said: “A lot of times, Vince takes…I don’t want to call them bad shots…but he takes a lot of tough shots…” [Nets Town Hall, June 25th, 2007]
Hopefully Marshon can keep up his good decision making and not de-volve into a “volume scorer” (a euphemism for a chucker if I’ve ever heard one…)
Marshon is awesome
He’s pretty much the most pro rookie the Nets have drafted since Kmart. Also gotta give him credit for not letting anything negative get into his game. What a talent. His jersey should read “do not trade”
