I think CJ is a stretch. …. You could see the glimmers of a really good basketball player early in his career. He was a tough player for his weight, like Marek, and aggressive on offense. ….. As a Freshman, when he got the ball within 12 feet of the rim, he was looking to score, preferably with a dunk. ….. I also don't think Marek has the full 2 inches over CJ that Waters asserted.

I think CJ is a stretch. I'd love for Marek to get to that level, but the feeling on both guys was a little different for me during their first year. I saw Marek as the grind-it-out type who played hard and made some good things happen, but I was rarely wowed by any plays in particular. Fair was different.

I know some might think that I'm conflating upperclassman CJ with Frosh CJ, but I'm not.

CJ put up better number in half the minutes Marek played. I also don't think Marek has the full 2 inches over CJ that Waters asserted.
You're right on about the differences in their offensive games. I would have never thought of comparing CJ and Marek, but what they did seem to share in their freshman years was good athleticism and high basketball IQ. I really like watching both of them play.I think CJ is a stretch. I'd love for Marek to get to that level, but the feeling on both guys was a little different for me during their first year.

MD has grown an inch in height.. but how much does he weigh now?
Have you seen him since he came back? Waters did.I think CJ is a stretch. I'd love for Marek to get to that level, but the feeling on both guys was a little different for me during their first year.

Why won't they tell us the weight?
my sense of upside for MD this year... Shaun Livingston with lotsa rebounds...
