How good do you see MarShon Brooks becoming?

[Robert24]

I was so happy when the Cs picked him in '11, but sadly they went and traded him. He averaged 13, 4 and 3 along with a steal in his rookie year but saw his minutes shoot down last year with Joe Johnson arriving in Brooklyn. I think he can average a solid 15 PPG next year if he starts. I've heard him being compared to Nick Young but he isn't a chucker like him.

[LooseCannon]

If he gives it some effort on defense, I can see him becoming a useful role player off the bench but never becoming a guy I would start over Avery Bradley.

[Birdman]

I think he can become a good player, not great

[CelticG1]

Is there any difference be jordan crawford and Marshon Brooks?

By the way I think TONS of crappy players can put up "good" numbers on a crappy team

[Quetzalcoatl]

I've heard him being compared to Nick Young but he isn't a chucker like him.

It's because he can't shoot.  We need shooters on this team, not another guy running into the lane on every possession.  He would probably thrive on a different team, but his value is so low that nobody will want him.

Well it'll be a second chance for him.  If he puts in effort on the defensive end and shoots well BUT LESS.  He could be a good bench player maybe making Lee & Crawford (more) expendable. 
I'm thinking depth at shooting guard: bradley, lee, bogans, crawford, brooks in that order

If that is the case then look for crawford to be moved and depending on deal,lee brooks or even bradley (who i'd like to not have guard rondo)

We need people that get to the rim. The reason we didn't shoot well last year is we took too many jump shots and didn't attack the hoop enough.

I think he can be solid, he has excellent footwork but this sometimes causes him to take more difficult shots than he should. If he improves his shot selection and improves his defense, I see him being a solid bench contributor for a while.

If he continues to improve I can see him providing an offensive spark off the bench for the next few years.

I personally will be surprised if Jordan and Marshon are both on the roster to start the season. There roles seem redundant and playing together they will just hurt each others development and stock as future trade bait.

Agreed. Trade Jordan Chuckford.

Crawford can play PG. Brooks can't.

Jordan Crawford is a bit of a headcase, I think Marshon is more coachable.

Marshon could be a great 6th man/spot starter on a playoff team. He's really good off the dribble and can create his own shot. The biggest areas of improvement moving forward are catch and shoot opportunities (which he says he's been working on all summer) and his defense (which he seems open to).

that was one of the few drafts that I watched, and he was the player I was stoked to get. Right after my WOOT WOOTs, they traded him for a joke of a PF that is, at no surprise, not in the league any more.

With Rondo in the lineup, I'd start him. Bradley is just too small to be a starting SG, can't handle the ball well enough to play the point, and not that great of a shooter to be our main SG.

Trade Bradley and Crawford.
Keep Brooks and we're stuck with Lee b/c of his contract

[nickagneta]

I am not thrilled with Brooks' game. He's a tremendously inefficient scorer, a bad three point shooter, an average free throw shooter, and a slightly below average rebounder, passer and defender.

I just do not see what people are so excited about other than he was a local college kid.

[Snakehead]

I see him as Nick Young at best.  I'd love to be wrong but I am not a fan.  He shot 27% from three last year too which is completely unacceptable for a scoring SG.

Agreed. Trade Jordan Chuckford.

Crawford is better at everything than Brooks is right now, so that's funny.  Even if Crawford isn't hitting he is a pretty good passer and a good rebounder

But you also said you think Brooks isn't a chucker... I think you may be in for s surprise when he's playing (when and I should say if).

But again I'd love to be wrong.  I don't think there is anything to be that optimistic about so far with Brooks.

[D.o.s.]

Crawford is a poor man's Nate Robinson--a score-first and score-second guy who can handle the ball, but when he handles the ball half the fan base is going to claw their eyes out. He's not too terrible of a passer, either.

Marshon is a solid 2/3 scorer without much of a jump shot. For his rookie season he was stuck on a roster fairly devoid of talent, and his sophomore season he was buried behind Joe Johnson--the verdict is out on him.

Both of them seem excited to be on the Celtics, though.
