2017 NBA Manifesto
Marshall Plumlee
C, 7’0, 250lbs, 24 years old, 1 year of experience
Didn’t play much, and when he did, he did and didn’t do exactly what he was and wasn’t expected to do. A pure post, Plumlee boards, fouls and creates a passing target inside. He cannot create in the post much, space the floor, handle and dribble. He will grab some offensive rebounds, finish some feeds, be big, willingly rotate from one side of the paint to the other, share the ball, and be fleeter of foot on perimeter action than it looks like he should be. There is some value in that, and that value is that of a minimum salary third stringer.
Player Plan: Two years left at the minimum salary, both unguaranteed, which is the only price appropriate for Marshall Plumlee at this stage but which he merits.
