Various issues I have with Marcus at this time. In no particular order.
We draft him and everyone knows shooting his something he needs to work on. Two years later he is historically bad. How does that happen? Also the same week as the playoffs he's making a rap video. Does this seem like a really hard and focused worker to you? I don't think this bodes well.
I don't like the hair any more. It was ok for a week.
His style of play is making refs turn against us for a good reason. Just being annoying and jerky isn't good defense. Flopping like a fish. Complaining/crying. I think he has regressed as a defender. He used to do a great job of staying in front of you and getting in passing lanes. Now it seems like he's trying to get in heads more, but his style of play attracts whistles and makes other players hate us, which will be bad in free agency.
He used to be a leader. Now he's not. He used to play hard. Now he's just a pest out there. Pesting is great, but it can't be the only thing you do. T Rozier is fully capable of that for less money.
His style of play....I don't like saying it, however.....it's the style of a punk. It's out of control and dangerous. It leads to him being injured too much. It is also dangerous to other players on the floor. It leads to the refs being unfair to us. It's really the style of the bad boys Pistons and those guys were absolute punks. If I were another coach and he got out of control like that I'd just send a 12th man to get in there and injure him. Then you don't have to worry about him for a few weeks and he might think twice before doing it again.
There's still a lot of hope for him. But this is heading south right now and I think we should trade him while we can.
