Message: [QUOTE="RichZ, post: 3237949, member: 534"] You may be short-changing Marcus. 6-8 210, came in as #81 prospect. Not too far off of Springs in that regard. As a freshman, he played 14 minutes, 4.1 points and 5.6 rebounds. Season ending injury early in sophomore year. That was of course, the year of our second championship. By the time the next season came around, he was trying to find minutes on a front line that included Boone, Villanueva and an improved Hilton. Was only playing a few minutes a game, and left after (i think) 5 games. Xferred to Purdue. Started 20 games for Purdue the next year and averaged around 10 and 4. Then had a supposedly career ending injury. A year later he was playing pro in the middle east, and averaged like 18 and 14. By 2007 he was in the D-League, but had another supposedly career ending injury in the first game. Still, he was back again the next year. Can't find his averages that year online, and I think he was injured again and finally called it quits, but he did have a 20 point, 19 board game while he was there. So I'd gladly give my left one[I] (remember, I have 2 left ones)[/I] to see Springs turn into Marcus White without the back issues. [/QUOTE]
