    DJ was a surprisingly adept shot blocker for a point guard...Marcus seem to have that trait

    One thing that goes unsaid about having Marcus is that he is literally the perfect mentor for Bronny to model his game after.

    Funny how these things go. If we drafted 1 spot higher and took Marcus instead of Randle, we wouldn't draft Zo and probably would take like, Tatum or something. The we wouldn't trade for Brick.

    Probably would have traded BI + Marcus to NOLA for AD though.

    Absolutely loved what he did this series.
    Need scoring for a few games? He delivered.
    Need the defense ratcheted up?
    No problem- he always delivers.
