Birthday Boy Still No. 3 in Rankings

MarShon Brooks turns 23 Thursday and he's resting up, hoping his sore achilles will be good enough to challenge Kyrie Irving Friday night in Cleveland. Irving is currently at the top of the rookie rankings, just one Ricky Rubio ahead of Brooks in two of the three big rankings. Chandler Parsons sneaks up in the third.
Of Brooks, ESPN's David Thorpe writes, "Any time a rookie performs as well as Brooks has, it's a surprise, even if he was the top pick in the draft. But what Brooks is doing as a late first-round pick is stunning ... Right now, it looks like the Celtics will live to regret not drafting him and trading the pick to the Nets." And Thorpe has him ranked fourth.
Sebastian Pruiti, on Grantland, says nice things of Brooks' offense, but hammers him on his "matador defense ... It wasn't good enough for your JV coach, and it isn't good enough in the NBA." Drew Packham at NBA.com worries about his achilles, but calls him, "one of the most consistent rookie scorers".

brooks defense has not been that bad..where does this guy come off saying that?
by JJ_22 on Jan 26, 2012 2:29 PM EST via mobile reply actions
its not good.
itrs pretty effortless. He doesnt slide his feet. cant really keep up with the defender. goes for fakes and doesnt really keep his eye on the players body but rather he just goes where the ball goes.
All things that he can overcome with effort and practice.
marshon has been good @getting steals& poking away loose balls. plus hes gotten a few blocks. i havent really seen him get torched though. the only mistake is that he forgets to cover the backcourt after he shoots and tries to get the offensive rebound
by JJ_22 on Jan 26, 2012 3:20 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
That's his biggest problem....
….his eyes are always on the ball, and he tries too hard to steal and block, thereby getting beat again and again, especially on fast breaks. Yes, he gets to pad his stats a bit, but that’s not what defense is about.
Watch his breakdown and videos
It’s a fair criticism. Morrow played better D than I’ve seen from Marshon for most of the year.

intresting
projected us to win 28, but the best possible scenario has us winning 45.
meaning
based on what we’ve seen, this is probably a 28 win team. but if Brook comes back and he and Deron absolutely go off, we could get into the 40s

Jimmer has a looooong way to go to be as good as Brooks has been so far.
But there are several players taken in the lottery who we could say that about: Knight, Biyombo, Vesely, Thompson, Kemba. Heck, even Shumpert (who is somehow ranked in the top 5/top 10 of all these things despite the fact that he can’t score and is a huge liability on that end).
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
Does anyone think marshon will be an all-star in the future
I think he will be borderline…but his maturity and bbiq give him a chance to elevate his game to star

with those kobe-like moves..this kid can ball
True Articles
Yes, the Nets defense has been so much better with him out. Hate to say it, but he is not good, yet. They, even Farmar are better . If he can learn to defend or learn to want to defend he will be something. On the offense, the kid is awesome and I have missed his ability to just flat out break people down and score. Let’s hope Avery and DWill can get after him, b/c it was d that won that game last night as much as the offense. Shelden
Bucks need a backup center with Bogut out for likely a few weeks again.
Petro to the rescue? Maybe save another 1-2 million in cap space?
I wouldn’t give them Sheldon Williams.
Pick. Second rounder is better than Petro
Official Member of the "DO NOT ABUSE BROOK LOPEZ" Movement
We'd have to give up a pick to unload him
Depending on the pick, it might be worth it. Livingston’s contract has a team option for next year.
Eddie Johnson's top 25
http://hoopshype.com/columns/johnson/the-top-25-nba-players
11. Deron Williams (11) – Williams is the strongest point guard in the league. When he makes up his mind to straight gangster his opponent, no guard can deal with him. What makes him great is his ability to stay in the game and give his team whatever it needs. A little flustered currently in regards to his team, but patience will let him know he is in the right place.

ESPN-Insider writers continue to feed Knicks with false hope.
Nick Borges says Nash could end up with Knicks (implies with Phoenix trading him).
As I replied to the Insider story:
It is physically impossible to trade Nash to the Knicks because it would require to give Phoenix 11.7/1.5 = $7.8 million in salary. Knicks have nothing close to that to offer Phoenix since most of their salary is tied up in 3 players.
Since Phoenix is going to trade Nash by March 15, they will likely send him somewhere where they can get a young player and draft pick(s) along with an expiring contract. The other team would only do this if they could sign Nash for at least 1 or 2 additional years.
Nash will NOT be a Knick.
They Can't . Salaries don't match.
Knicks are screwed.
Nash is getting 11 million.
Knicks season is resting on someone with a herniated disc, which can never get much better.
Once mistake and Barron Davis will be retired. Knicks fans not being told the risk.
Funny how the Celtics still get heat for not drafting Brooks
they probably would have drafted someone else if we didn’t tell them who to draft
hmm Eric Gordon didn't accept the Hornets' 4-year extension
I wonder if Billy noticed it, and if he’s somebody we may look at in the summer

Congrats SWAGO, If you are not fully recovered, don't play man
when I look at him, I see Kevin Martin and McGrady thin legs, and makes me think he’s injury prone like those guys who have been injuried all their career.
Brooks has to get bulkier, to prevent better the injuries.

From John Hollinger’s ESPN chat-
Billy King (New Jersey)
One game behind the Knicks? Two games out of Playoffs? All this without Brook Lopez?Things aren’t looking as bad as I thought after week 2, huh?
John Hollinger (12:28 PM)
I’m as amazed as you are. I went to New Jersey’s first two home games and they looked ridiculously bad; in fact they never held a lead in either game. Between the awfulness of the East and their own mini-recovery, they still have a real shot at postseason.

hmm i think (in order)
Knicks: they just need to keep doing what theyre doing to secure us a playoff spot lol
Boston: If injuries continue to plague them, they could very well miss the offseason
Atlanta: even though theyve been playing well, the horford injury will catch up with them
Philly: i really dont see them keeping there momentum
Philly is playoff team
Atlanta is like a 6th seeder

With or without a Howard trade?
I can see Orlando nosediving if they trade Howard. It’ll also be interesting to see if Boston blows it up. Ainge has been seriously considering it. Atlanta is missing Horford. One more significant injury, and they could really start reeling.
Point is a lot can change, especially around the deadline.
knicks and boston are not going to finish that high
especially if Rondo’s elbow doesnt heal up quick
also I expect ATL to start dropping as not having Horford should start to bite them back

How is it a stretch?
I don’t think people realize what getting Brook means. Let me explain. Brook changes EVERYTHING. This team is built around a presence in the post. Brooks, Williams, Morrow, Okur are all great shooters and double teaming Lopez will lead to it raining threes from outside. Don’t double and Brook he will take advantage down low.
Brook will bring in his talent and make the entire offense better. All these players will get great looks as a result of Lopez’s presence down low.

Brooks is not just getting a lucky 15 points a game. He has an incredible offensive repertoire in terms of pulling up off the dribble and exploding to the game. His ability in the post really impresses me. He’s a great player down low because hes very crafty.
He really has a great offensive game and shows potential to be a consistent 22-25 ppg type of player
Exciting
Marshon brings an electricity on the offensive side when he plays. He is a lot of fun to watch and could pan out to be the best nets draft pick in the last 5-10 years.

Our best projected is 45-21
So I think that’s what he means?
That millisecond you're sure you're going to die when you lean back in your chair a little too far.
oh finish the year at 39-8
i thought he meant our record would be that. Cuz we already lost 13 games and those dont equal 66 games…

why would they do that if hes there main part of their rebuilding process?
by BrooklynKid19 on Jan 26, 2012 7:13 PM EST up reply actions
A total rebuild
move Jennings for a top pick in the 2012 draft and maybe get a team to take a bad contract like Gooden.
out for the year?

you are right they might move people, dunno if jennings is who they move but the guy needs to work on hitting his shots more frequently he has horrible games
by Andrew Flynn on Jan 26, 2012 7:15 PM EST up reply actions
You move Jennings + a bad contract
and you get a lotto pick in the 2012 draft + they have their own pick which will also be a lotto pick.

I wish the NBA did a show along the lines of Hard Knocks...
I saw an Association with the Celtics that was pretty good also. Would like to see more
yea it's really similar to hard knocks
they showed alot of the Nuggs GM dealing with Nene, Melo, and getting Rudy Fernandez and Coroy Brewer. It was really cool to see how a GM works the phones

If we get him, I say sign Gilbert Arenas to play point/sg and cut lin or bibby to sign kmart and jr smith to come off the bench

Apparently the Knicks could get Dwight for Melo and Chandler and then swing Amare for Deron Williams SMH
The sad part is that a respected Bulls fan started the topic. One Knicks fan thinks Melo is worth m,ore so he proposed sending Melo to NJ for Deron and MarShon Brooks cuz Melo is elite and Deron isnt.
Even worse is that fans of other teams dont disagree. Nets get no respect.

Dwight has 2 fouls in the first 5 min. Complaining on every play to the refs.
As dominant as he can be, there are still a lot of flaws in his game. He really needs to mature.
So Boston crushes Orlando, Dwight acknowledge’s how great the Boston organization is. What does he say after watching that first quarter? Haha.

way too early to write them off
And I doubt they care much about their seed… They are too old to excel in a shortened season, but I think they have more than enough to get the 7/8 seed.

I think the celtics will get it together if there isn't a trade
but their bench is weak, they are much older and danny ainge could break it the core at any time.
to clarify i don't think they are capable of serious contention anymore.
but they can still win games in the reg season
foul trouble?

I read something along the lines a while back
If the Nets are in the playoff hunt come March look for them to sign Wilson Chandler.

idk wanted to know if it was real, i read it here on netsdaily.
"I think I’m the best point guard in the league. No reason. I just think I’m the best.’’-Deron Williams.
doubt it
1) we are over the cap by $2 million.
2) Chandler is an RFA, meaning no matter when he becomes a free agent again, Denver can match…and almost certainly will.
3) He needs a FIBA clearance letter from his Chinese team and that isn’t necessarily a given that he will get one before season ends.

It would be pretty good if they worked out a trade
Brook Lopez
Kris Humphries
Wilson Chandler
Marshon Brooks
Deron Williams
Now that’s a dangerous 8th seed.

I like Brooks...
but Evan Turner is better and will have a better career. I can’t help but think that. Brooks has a ton of opportunities because this team is just not good. Throw him on another squad and it’s a completely different situation.
Happy Birthday, though.

turner will not get the opportunity to succeed marshon will, he wont get the minutes, wont get the touches, wont get the abundance of shots, everyone in philly shares the ball and its been working, not just one guy scoring 20+ every night

actually you may be right IF howard and lopez return next year with dwill, will be less touches and shots for marshon for sure, dont think he will be going for 20 pts every night when hes the 4th option
by Andrew Flynn on Jan 26, 2012 9:38 PM EST up reply actions
or it's the opposite effect
i’m hoping offensive juggernaut. And Marshon will have no problems dumping the ball off to lopez who unlike Shelden williams won’t bobble the ball and let it fly out of bounds. Think about deron and Marshon having a big man with good hands to catch and finish.
evan turner is the worst 2 pick in recent memory
he doesn’t even pass the sniff test of looking like an NBA sg out there. he has the herky jerky dribbling style and he often chokes it up. Also can’t shoot and is unathletic. Marshon has the skillset of a 10 year veteran SG already lmao.

That being said, the Knicks aren’t that stupid. Even if they were, they’d never make a deal with the Nets.
