3- This is the biggest ass-hanging prediction i've made so far- Marbs will win the 6th man of the year award. Please keep in mind that its only given to non-starters, thats its given to ppl that are true team players, that it would in all likelyhood require him to not be traded the whole season, and that I am taking about Starbury here !!!!!!
On the one hand it would be the nail in the coffin for Marbury's rep if he's not in contention for that award. Having said that, that award typically goes to guys who really understand their role. As a scoring/combo PG Marbury has never really been comfortable in anything but a leading role. It would benefit his career at this point if he could embrace and conform to a supportive role, whatever role that may be. IOW, Marbury's got to save his schizophrenic persona for interviews and pretend to be comfortable in his skin on the court.
The other thing working against him is that the award typically goes to competitive teams. It's not enough to come in and make oneself look good, their contributions have to make the team look good.
