Holy crap! That's very encouraging. Did I see 15-15 from the line? Dayum. Nice. I know it's summer league, but that is really nice to see. Also good to see us battle like that.

Nicholasp27 · July 16, 2006

15/15 is the same against any competition

and slim hit TWO shots in a row to get us into overtime; mr crunch time coming through

22 points for him

then in overtime marvin/slim hit back to back 3s to put us up, but we fouled them 2 times in a row and then slim missed final shot (had 7 secs after they got foul shots to score)

Marvin was 15 for 15 from the free throw line. In two games, Marvin has shot 33 free throws.

It's going to be interesting to see what sort of role he will fill this season, because it's pretty obvious that he has the ability to be a dynamic scorer with his ability to shoot the ball from the perimeter, his ability to drive to the basket, his ability to get to the free throw line, and his developing low post offensive game.

It's pretty easy to see that Marvin is the best player at the RMR. I'd honestly think about pulling him out if I were the Hawks.

if they continue to light the fire under his ass and keep him aggressive, he'll be a star

that's what held him back his rookie season: confidence and aggressiveness; i emailed him once last season to let him know that

Don't quite understand Shelden only getting 16 mintues though.

KB21 · July 16, 2006

I think it was simply a case of the coaching staff not letting him go out there and be this aggressive. They took it slow with him, and unlike during this summer league, they didn't tell him to take over the game.

Marvin has never lacked fire. He's such a coachable player though that he will do whatever the coach wants him to do.

S.Williams lack of production is really shocking. This dude might be a bust.

WOW, I don't care if it's summer league games or not, that line is good in any league. Great point about what the coaches expect of him NOW and what they wanted him to do before. We were talking about a 19 year old who showed these flashes, but wasn't consistent with it! I'm so excited and happy for him. If we get the right kind of rotation and comfort zone for him in the regular season, it's going to be fun watching him, Smoove, Johnson, Salim...WOW. I'm excited!
