Someone tell me why we want Marvin Williams back? Serious question.
First - did he do much of anything after the trade deadline last year? His last game was against Dallas and he had 0 pts, 0 reb., 0 ast. in 8 minutes on April 8. He only played in 66 games. He did shoot decent percentages of .439 FG% and .359 on 3P%.
Second, I really did not like his defensive play against power forwards. I felt like he gave up more points than he scored, so playing as a stretch 4 hurt us I think. Yes I know his shooting opened up the floor some for other players. I do not like him much as a small forward, and feel he is below average league wise there. We have better small forwards on the roster now.
Third, he is below league average on assist per game (1.2 per game), so he is not a good passer for a big. We are going to be running an offense like the Spurs, so the bigs should be better passers. Of course Favors and Kanter are not great passers at this stage of their careers either. Work on that coaches.
I realize there are worse players in the NBA, but don’t you think there are better stretch 4s out there than Marvin? Unless our goal is to tank again, I do not want Marvin back. If we are ready to start trying to win again, give me a better player please.
Your thoughts.
