Lol I saw all of those. Gotta love Spurstalk. It seems they hate Blair as much if not more then some on here hate Al.

atleast pop becnhed blair after the 1st qtr

Marvin is a good player who doesn't really have any interest in being great. He is ok playing with just being a team player, which is good, but also kind of sucks because his talent level suggest he should be able to be more.

This.

That's because Blair isn't close to as good a player as Al is.

[Brown Notes]

I thought this play was one of the most impressive in the game. I don't know if even prime AK could make this block, he never had that hang time or body control.

I think that is part of the problem brown, he CAN do stuff like this but rarely does.

[fishonjazz]

He may be average and too passive at times, but I like his defense, he can knock down a 3 with some consistency, and frankly, even if he's a bit overpaid he's such a massive upgrade over CJ.

True

He doesn't create offense hardly ever but plays good to great D all the time, and in that regard will be extremely valuable playing against teams that go small or have a huge SF.

I kind of hope he doesn't get much better offensively so we can extend this guy for less than 6m.

Trying to find AK block highlights but I know AK could and has done much more the that block, here is just an overall hightlight

[Brown Notes]

Thanks. Still don't think AK replicates that particular play.

My problem with Marvin Williams isn't his stats, but his salary. To be making just over 8 million I'd expect more than 9 points a game, 3 rebounds and 1 assist. He plays good D, but for him to be making 8 million for his stats is what makes me not a big fan

To me his salary isn't an issue because ATL signed him to it and the Jazz just traded for him out of need. I could see him being a part of a future bench role with spot starting type role for a little more then half of what he makes currently.... Well as it stands now anyway, providing he doesn't start playing consistently better before then.

So overall he is a net positive and seems like a good guy to have around and would be worth having in the future albeit at a reduced price tag.

Jazz need to utilize him better. That's one of the things I hate about Ty. I think he should be calling plays to get more involved, instead of just dropping it down to Al (and having Jefferson turn straight into a double team). Williams is a very good shooter, but many games he's just a forgotten man out there. At least he's not complaining about his lack of touches on the offensive end, unlike other SF's we've had. He'll probably opt in for next season; I don't see him getting a better offer as a FA, unless he wants a lesser amount per year, but something for multiple seasons.

There are only so many shots to go around. Maybe moving Marvin to the bench would be good,? But then you lose his floor spacing for the starting unit, which is it's biggest strength.
