D-Will on Brooks: "He's Special"

Ben Couch - New Jersey Nets

The latest news update on Deron Williams' website highlights how Williams feels about MarShon Brooks, who will replace him in the starting lineup Wednesday night vs. the Celtics. It's all good.

"We work well out there together. That'll just continue to develop. He's a special young player, has a chance to be a really good pro. He works hard and he's eager to learn," Williams said. "He has a lot of confidence in his ability. He's one of those guys, it doesn't matter if he plays five minutes or plays 30, he's going to be ready to go in. That's really good, especially for a rookie."

The update notes that all of Brooks' 21 points against the Pacers came with Williams on the floor.

Meanwhile, Brooks has moved up to No. 3 in the Rookie Rankings, with Sebastian Pruiti and Drew Packham noting some deficiencies but in love with his offense.

sadly, his confidence turned ppl off

MarShon comes off as a kid who thinks he’s better than all around him. In reality, he’s just a kid who’s confident in his skill, and eager to learn more and get better. It’s that fine line that ppl mistake confidence with cockyness. He will go down as the steal of the draft

To be honest not sure why he wasn't taken in the top 5 considering the season he had

Looking at it long term I don’t see Jimmer or Kemba being better than him becasue there more 2 guards at like 6’3, not sure they have the Pg mentality. Guarding the D-wades of the world will be tough.

If there 6'3 although I think they will be good players.

But Marshons length I think gives him and advantage, he’s even blocking like a shot a game.

If they put Rondo on marshon he goes into the post gets double teamed

All this really is:

is D-Will using his sales pitch to sell Marshon to Orlando. Kid can be good but come on, its pretty obvious he is hyping him up.

It's also cool that the vets, including DWill, don't seem to have a problem being waved off by Brooks for iso

They acknowledge it’s part of the kid’s move. Some vets on other teams would take it a personal affront being waved off by a rookie.

It does help that Brooks has made a good number of those shots. The kid is crazy confident. He’s also not just a one-dimensional scorer but hustles, rebounds, blocks shots, tries on defense.

Hayward I think was a little intimidated by D-will Marshon probably deep down thinks he’s better than him honestly meaning D-will.

DWill has too much pride or ego

to speculate he thinks Marshon is better him. But based on his recent, comments, surely Deron thinks highly of Marshon and is giving him more praise and leeway than he’s known to give to rooks.

amazes me on how small and fragile he looks but somehow is not afraid to go inside…

I heard some scouts thought he didn’t have an “NBA body” but that don’t seem to bother him at all…He’s like Gumby out there…

He plays hard and seems to have a very good motor.

So far he has exceeded expectations but I just don’t want to put too much pressure on him at this stage in his career.

Hope he has a good game tonight but if he doesn’t I won’t be too worried or upset.

Some changes we should make

Morrow needs to be benched. Give Farmar and Stevenson the backup SG minutes

Farmar needs to be on the court alot more. He was one of our top 5 players last year.

James is touching the ball too much. Someone needs to tell him that he isnt the primary option on offense, Brooks is. He should be down in the post O boarding instead of shooting perimeter bricks.

Shawne needs more minutes. I think he is rounding into shape and will put in a good game tonite.

We need to get Okur more shots. His J has been money from 3pt range the last few games.

Give J Will more minutes. I dont think he is good but Id like to see what he can do

by DWILL-of-the-GODZ on Jan 4, 2012 5:53 PM EST reply actions  

Farmar as backup SG?

He should start as PG tonight.
If there’s a blowout, JWill will have all the time he needs to prove he’s worth a chance, which should be a good thing.

for the right of watching tv broadcasted nets games...

WHAT?!?!?!?! Shawn's is "rounding into shape"

What does that even mean?

He’s been atrocious.

Are u his agent? Your love for him is intense, lol

that's all?

this will be a 23 point loss at best. wow.

by MrDollarBills on Jan 4, 2012 6:04 PM EST up reply actions  

Nah

Nets could be down 25 the entire game..then end up losing by 12 because of garbage points. I hate betting big spreads.

i havnt watched him play yet

But when they are here playing the pacers in february i will definately be there rooting for the nets. Glad Artest is gone so he wont come into the stands to punch me out for rooting for nets

Can't remeber

Something to do with typing in your email all the time and something else that was iritating right. Nets daily stole me away surely and slowly as my main nets source.

Hope J-will gets some run

Let him fall on his face at least but hoping he can at least rebound and finish around the rim.

Brooks wiki
So far in the 2011-2012 regular season, MarShon Brooks (nicknamed SWAG) has gotten off to a fantastic start impressing many. Head coaches such as Avery Johnson and Stan Van Gundy have given many compliments and Deron Williams,NBA Superstar, has spoken highly of swag.

LOL

I guess whoever wrote that Wiki entry must read NetsDaily…

Someone on this website came up with that nickname if I recall…

Even MarShon on his twiiter account has mentioned the nickname.

I know some people here thinks it’s a derogatory term in some circles, but if MarShon don’t object I have a feeling it may catch on…

The earliest comment I could find using the term swag...

is this one. But unless the earliest reference has been deleted it doesn’t make sense…

Man, I’m really growing to hate the term swag.

The word Swag has a selfish tone to it

seems like some ghetto, stupid crap.

This kid is the man — to call him Swag is pathetic
