I have been delaying to start a thread like this having a superstition that his long-range shooting would regress.
But after 3 months of basketball Marcus is shooting a .367 clip from downtown (66/180), the thing we have been waiting for 5 years now.
League average is .355, so he is above that mark now. Also, his true shooting (.564) is by far the best of his career.
The defensive part was never in question as he can guard 4 offensive players present on the floor most of the time.
I don't think that superstar guys like Kawhi and PG13 should count in this conversation. 3&D is reserved for role players in my book.
At 13,7% usage, Marcus is definitely that.
So, is he the best 3&D guy in the league? If not give me a better one.
