And before people say something... yes I realize that it is June and we still have 4 months to the season, but it's still worth noting
Of course, but let's wait to find out what type of injury it is first. We also have the Summer Exhibition as well.
Judging by some tweets prior to his injury, Marques' play at the trials was very underwhelming, too.
Get well, big fella.
Talent is only talent if there is also confidence. He needs more of a chance. Without more setbacks.I'm starting to fear that what we have is 7 feet 245 pounds of no talent

He needs to buy into a roll. Pick and roll...also a screen offense. If he does that and rebounds like he can. That is the player we need. God's grace he will stay healthy. If so he will be fine.

Marques has never been praised for his rebounding prowess. Even in high school. That's just not been a strength of his.
He's going to get a chance. He had chances last year too. We're not in kindergarten anymore. In the real world you fight and earn your chances. He had 12 defensive rebounds in 157 minutes of game action last year. That's atrocious for a kid almost seven feet tall with a wingspan that's five to inches more than his height. The talent is there....the drive needs to be there too, because at this level everyone is really talented.
Yes sir Duke needs him to be a grizzly bear, not a teddy bearThe only part I disagree with is that he was never a good rebounder. Coming out of high school that was one of his strengths, which makes the 12 in 157 mins even more eye catching. His issue is clearly a motor thing and until he figures that part out, he's going to have some tough times.
I don't see it this way yet...but maybe he's just one of those kids who just doesn't love what he does and this may be the highest level of basketball he achieves. Maybe not. I'm banking on him producing but a falter can't be ruled out. The best thing we can do is support him and the squad and hope he makes the transition.
But I can already see he's going to turn into this season's Matt Jones by some fans.
He showed flashes last year of being dominant especially rebounding on the offensive end ...imo this team coming in fits him perfectly ..he should flourish! If not he's in trouble..imo he doesn't have to score on this team but he defiantly needs to be a Tristian Thompson to start and get good minutes ..no excuses.get healthy and get in shape and he should have 0 problemsThe only part I disagree with is that he was never a good rebounder.

I think it's mental with Bolden. His performance in the Miami comeback win showed me a lot. Being consistent will be his challenge. Let's remember, not every BIG comes in ready from Day 1. It takes awhile for some. His potential is there. I have more respect for him since he was willing to come back for his sophomore year when everyone pretty much thought he was gone.
