No doubt that Marquis' return will improve the team, if only because he would be a wing player that Doc would trust off the bench in the 2nd half of a close game, unlike TA, despite his great performance tonight against LA in the first half.
We are defintely missing him: his ball handling, quickness, wing defense....
Though it seems that the longer Daniels is out, the better he seems to get. He'a good, versatile player, but I don't think he's played enough with us to make much of a judgement of what he'll give in the crunch. How many games has he played deep in the playoffs? Yet, the way he is talked about sometimes, if I didn't know better, I'd swear he was a lock for all-NBA second team, HOF, something. He's like the basketball version of Bugs Bunny, playing all positions: backing up both Rondo as a playmaker and Pierce as a scorer, even though his range is limited; he can do the impossible.
Please, fellow fans, I implore you: let's be honest. He's got a good handle, but he's no PG. He doesn't have much range on the jumper. Kevin Gamble was a much better scorer than Quisy is. He is a good player that will help us, but he will not be the answer to all of the questions that persist about this team.
Heck of a game today, though...
