So I joined a league and I had this guy on my team. Can't trade him since the trade deadline has passed, so I'm stuck with him. What's the best way to use him? Offensively and defensively? I've never really watched him play, I just know that his jumper is horrible lol.

Re: Best way to use Shawn Marion?
He's a cutter/slasher so get him cutting to the rim for alley oops and inside shots. He has a decent (but not spectacular) mid range shot and if you can penetrate and dish to him, do so.
I wouldn't give him the ball much more than that...he's not a strong ballhandler or shooter. -

Re: Best way to use Shawn Marion?
his shots crack me up. but you should use him just as a cutter and slasher, moving without the ball most of the time.Comment

Re: Best way to use Shawn Marion?
he doesn't really have a mid range or 3pt shot so i wouldn't have him a perimeter liver...
OFFENSIVE
i'd edit his offensive plays and just give him cutting & low post plays only he's more effective with those two options
also he's a quick SF so i'd raise my breaks up between 69 to 75... he's really effective in transition
DEFENSIVE
good on-ball defender and an okay low post defender... good to play small ball with him ... but if there's a dominate 4 who has a good spin move i'd double team that player with him he has quick hands he can pop it out of they hands during double teamsComment
