Message: [QUOTE="2Slick, post: 238104, member: 2094"] I really don't see any possible scenario under which Marshall plays. Even if he can withstand the pain, a doctor is going to want to splint or cast the thing. I understand he is left-handed, but you use both your hands to play basketball, especially at the point guard position. A point guard with a splint on one wrist is a liability as a ball handler and a passer, no matter how skilled he is. He's going to be favoring the wrist the whole time he's out on the court, he's not going to be as aggressive driving to the hoop (which is how he got the injury in the first place) and teams are going to be pressuring him like crazy, trying to make him turn the ball over. All of that is on top of the fact that you're risking your long-term playing career by going out on the court with a fractured wrist. The kid has his future to think about. If his coaches know anything at all, there's no way he plays this weekend. [/QUOTE]
