My point is body control is a form of athleticism that's often overlooked. Being a shooter like Mullin wouldn't have got him far if he'd not been able to get his shot off, and the reason he could was body control. Belinelli has some of that.

Again, not comparing the two, just pointing out that athleticism is not all run and jump. See, e.g. Steve Nash.

No one is thinking he'll be a star, but he has a spot in a rotation in this league. - gsfanatic1 2008-12-10 22:52:52 (25 views)

Can't hit shots consistently? It's his 2nd season! He's shooting 50%. - SCbay49 2008-12-10 23:27:05 (23 views)

6'5'' does a 360 dunk and he is not athletic? - Blunder 2008-12-10 22:39:44 (23 views)

At the NBA level? No. Lacks half-court quickness and explosiveness - live 2008-12-10 22:44:26 (16 views)

Yes, but he's not so slow that he can't overcome it - live 2008-12-10 22:35:20 (40 views)

He understands the game and can smoke when he is hot... about all I can say for him - buzz 2008-12-10 22:42:56 (47 views)

Yep. The only way he lasts in the league is convincing some team he can play point. - Chris C 2008-12-10 22:44:31 (41 views)

...or dribble - buzz 2008-12-10 22:51:23 (35 views)

Agree with the sentiment, just not the assuredness - live 2008-12-10 22:48:38 (27 views)

to be a star, you're right. To be an effective player at the NBA level, you're wrong. - gsfanatic1 2008-12-10 22:34:39 (21 views)

If he were deadly at something, maybe... but he is inconsistent - buzz 2008-12-10 22:39:36 (50 views)

He has 4 things that he does very well: sees the court, handles, passes, and shoots. - SCbay49 2008-12-10 22:52:02 (25 views)

Two of those are basically the same thing, and two of them are false - buzz 2008-12-10 23:20:10 (11 views)

You compared the shooting ability of a guy known for his shooting to that of John Starks - live 2008-12-10 23:33:07 (18 views)

John Starks was also known as a shooter, lol - buzz 2008-12-10 23:38:47 (21 views)

in which he's played meaningful minutes in 5 of them. lol - gsfanatic1 2008-12-10 23:01:25 (14 views)

Call him what you want, but his percentages indicate a player who is making shots at a nice clip. - gsfanatic1 2008-12-10 22:50:21 (15 views)

True, but he's been consistently shooting the ball well given his sporadic minutes - gsfanatic1 2008-12-10 22:45:44 (24 views)

Yep. Just like Marko Jaric. - Chris C 2008-12-10 22:32:05 (50 views)

no. Jaric can't pass the ball like Marco. - gsfanatic1 2008-12-10 22:29:31 (27 views)

Because he handled the ball a lot. Marco is far more clever with the ball, but more from the sg spot - gsfanatic1 2008-12-10 22:32:49 (18 views)

Bellinelli probably won't be hittin a piece like this either - Method 2008-12-10 22:31:16 (146 views)
