Re: All You Need To Know About Banks. . .

I don't know.  Marcus will be very good, I think, and is 
already pretty good for a rookie.  Although he can't run
a team yet, he makes some gorgeous passes on the break.
I think it's a fair question to ask if he has the kind of PG
instincts that can run a halfcourt offense.  It helps a lot
that he now has a real PG to study and doesn't have to be
out in the freak show Obie was running.
