Additional Information
Compared with Michael Olowokandi, who also started playing relatively late. Scouts are mixed. Some like his hands and shooting skills; others worry about the stress fracture he suffered early last season. "He would be a safer pick at 15 than one," says an Atlantic scout. Others gave him high marks for returning in time for the tournament, even though he could have played it safe and not returned, protecting his draft position. "He tried to play," says a Midwest scout. "He was about 280 at that point, and all that time, he kept the weight off and came back in pretty good shape. That was very impressive." The back and forth on Marcus is summed up by a Pacific scout: "I like a lot of things about him. But the thing I'm not sure about is if the kid really enjoys playing. That's suspect as far as I see ... we've got enough guys like that in the league right now."
