Marvin is better than McBob, & worth what he's making. The problem is he doesn't fit this team at all. He's a SF, not a PF. Especially when he's beside Big Al. If he's playing with a Center that provides a defensive presence you can play him at PF.

It's not his fault he's playing out of position. This is a terrible roster fit-wise.

"Better than" is a relative term in this case.

If you're skill set doesn't fit what a particular team or company does than you are not "better".

Personally, I think we should have just given Cody the reigns. If he works out great, if not then sign Millsap in the offseason.

14 mil is a lot to throw out to a guy with a very limited skill-set.

He was 3/5 from the field. What do you want? How much do you expect him to score when Lance, Kemba, & Al are all taking 15-20 shots a game?

McBob is so overrated on this board. He was a black hole on defense, couldn't rebound, a poor 3pt shooter despite getting wide open looks, etc. He made flashy passes and flashy dunks off broken plays. That's literally all he was good at. And he's making more than Marvin.

Lol @ this post.

Marvin sits in the corner and shoots three's. He has no ability to beat anyone off the dribble even though he's matched up against slower power forwards. He literally has no feel for our offense and it's clear that his catch and shoot skill set doesn't fit what we need at the power forward position. Notice down the stretch tonight it was Zeller getting the burn due to his ability to facilitate and move the ball in our offense.

As for McBob being a black whole on defense... Did you even watch any games last year? McBob's and MKG's wing defense literally made Al look like a competent defender last year. On top of that he was our point guard (forward), the offense ran through him. Sure swinging the ball sounds easy, but when you have Lance out there fumbling passes and Kemba going iso every possession, it's pretty easy to see why McBob was so important. Not to mention McBob is a better rebounder than Marvin (check the stats) and while he wasn't a great three point shooter, he was an efficient offensive player. Finally, he's making more total than Marvin but cap wise Marvin is making $2 mil more (which is the only thing that truly matters).

Oh and did I mention, even Clifford and Jordan said McBob is what made all the parts fit together.

That speaks for itself.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By Basbear · Posted

      After seeing hits in the last two UDFA pools, I do not in this group sorta of a let down after I gassed myself up.  Not like I know of their games, but just expected more. The duke DT only has to beat out hunte (2025 UDFA) or Ray (DL coach's kid) or even Cam Jackson mid 2025 5th.  I thought they would bring in more edges, IOL, TEs, etc...

      The Icky knee didn't explode draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      My 2 favorite picks, since you didn't ask? 3. Brazzell II.  A 1000 yard WR with 4.37 speed and checks all the boxes for a Z Wide Receiver.  IN THE THIRD ROUND!!! 5.  Sam Hecht.  I think he will take over as the starter at some point this season and never look back.  IN THE FIFTH ROUND. Runner Up:  2. Hunter:  We were targeting a DT early in this draft because we did very little to replace Robinson in free agency.  Hunter was our guy and he will start. In addition to that, you got a starting tackle that should man one side of the new OL we will build for Bryce's second contract. A starting WR, offensive lineman, defensive lineman and possible Offensive tackle (at some point during this year from this draft will start.  UNREAL. In addition, I don't doubt that Wheatley (5th round) takes the FS job by next year and Lee III is Jackson's replacement in 2027.   Finally, even Kuwatch should be a special teams demon and LB depth.   Last year's draft was so good it was ugly.  This one will turn out to be uglier.  No offense Basbear--this ain't about you.
