[QUOTE=GOBB]Kobe at Marshon Brooks age was far better at every aspect of the game. I dont know who started the Marshon = Kobe thing. It probably was said in jest because Marshon has that Kobe like Afro.[/QUOTE]
He has a similar shot to him and all. He scores. But I agree though. Kobe was a lot better at his age.
[QUOTE=Clutch]Of course it doesn't make sense.
He's one of the biggest Knicks haters on this board.[/QUOTE]
wow I am?
I doubted Shumpert but after watching him in a close game against the Wiz I'm all in. He had 7 asst, 5 steals and was everywhere. Didn't even shoot very well but his athleticism, maturity, and defensive skill were on display. He is a few years older than some of his peers but it has allowed him to come into the league with a lot more maturity (like Cole and Brooks).
The younger guys still probably have more upside but they aren't playing all around basketball like these fellas are.
I haven't watched a full game of Iman Shumpert yet, just highlights. However, Cole surprised me a bit. He's got game.
My favorite of the 3? By far MarShon Brooks... he's so great at creating space for the shot, a lot like Kobe, jab step, reverse pivot, fade away shot, it's fun, and he also doesn't force the issue -- I saw him passing out of every single double team. That could just be because he's a rook and all, but still
I'm still new to MarShon Brooks, but I haven't seen him take it to the rack with authority. I remember a put back dunk, but I want to see him blow by a defender and dunk it in, it seems like he always goes for the fancy layup -- am I right?
Shumpert is going to be a great all-around player. You can watch him one game and can see that right away. It's not just great body and athleticism, the kid is a baller.
Brooks is a crafty scorer, has nice length and wingspan, but he will be 23 this month. He's gonna have to really improve his game this summer for anyone to suggest that the Nets should build around him.
I do not like Cole, period. I don't know if it's his demeanor (seems stupid and cocky, especially after he scores a basket), or his trigger-happy playing style, or the fact that he is on the Heat... I just don't care for him. I think he's just another undersized SG with decent athleticism. He can shoot his team in and out of games, and that's not something you should see from a rookie.
1a: Brooks
1b: Shumpert
Shumpert has really proven me wrong.. Good to see him take advantage of the great position he was given
Cole shits on them boys...
[QUOTE=alenleomessi]1. Rubio
2. Irving
3. Shumpert
4. Brooks
5. Cole
6. Knight
The first two should be perennial all stars[/QUOTE]
I don't mind this list.
[QUOTE=Nash]Shumpert stats are inflated in New York with D'Antoni and with him having no real competetion for the pg spot right now with Baron out.
Cole's stats could have been higher if he wasn't playing with 3 superstars in a defensive minded team.
Marshon Brooks I'd say is the best.[/QUOTE]
shumpert's stats are not being inflated lol. we're not playing typical d'antoni ball. we play at a pretty slow pace in the half court. plus shumpert isn't in the nash/duhon/felton role. he shares play making duties with carmelo and we don't play half as much fast break as new york and phoenix in years past.
[QUOTE=kurple]1a: Brooks
1b: Shumpert

everyone was wrong because unless you watched him (like any of us did) the only information you got was from ESPN, and they base their opinion on who THEY like and who THEY SAW. Therefore this pick sucked. When we picked him i said "huh?" (Although people having a heart attack we did not take Faried are nuts.) So assuming he sucked was kind of logical as there was no info he did not.
i actually started to like him from his tweeets ,he'd tweet what he was doing and it would be workout, eat, play, eat, workout, flying somewhere to follow around future teammate, etc. Never play, never anything stupid. He also seems nuts, which i like (not out partying nuts, like cry after a loss nuts).
Marshon Brooks is damn good. Best scorer of the bunch imo.
This year's draft was impressive.. very impressive.
Brooks
Cole
Shumpert
Irving
Rubio finally playing in the NBA after 2009 draft.
[QUOTE=Rnbizzle]Why is everyone so high on this Brooks kid, I've not seen all of the Nets' games but from what I've seen it's really not all that impressive.[/QUOTE]
Lest be real what nets game have you watched? If you did, you would not be saying this. MarShon has been the brightest spot on the team , stepping up whereas other guys don't.
If how he is playing not impressive I dont know what is.
All 3 of these guys are in different situations and on different teams.
[QUOTE][/QUOTE][QUOTE=Eric Cartman]Marshawn Brooks just as a pure scorer hmmmmmm.
Jizz in my pants everytime i think about him.[/QUOTE]
ew. it always cracks me up to hear people talk about athletes like this. my favortie is when the nfl draft comes around and you hear dudes talk about how suchandsuch guy is such a stud lol
