I like the fact that he moves without the ball well! Something Green should really work on.
But boy is he so much better offensively. That added vision is going to come in really handy.

Give it time man.. Once he learns the spurs way and get into season mode I'm sure it will improve.. At least better than Neal.. This is just the preseason... Not the nba finals. you can't expect guys with guaranteed contracts to go all out.
True. You wonder if pop and the coaching staff have a say so in it as well!
Yeah I like that about Marco. He works hard to get open (doesn't just float around the perimeter and catch and shoot), he understands to receive a pass you've got to be ready to shoot or make a move. He reminds me of Nash actually the way he's relentless without the ball
I think Neal is a better three point shooter than Belinelli, to be honest.
They didn't call him Marco Jordan for nothing.
Probably. For the spurs the preseason is just to start getting everyone in sync with each other and with what they are trying to do
Yeah, based off the 4 preseason games Neal is a better shooter... Give it tiiiime man
Beli, and Ayers still have a lot to learn. We may not see drastic improvement until later in the season. Besides learning the Spurs system, they have to learn the tendencies of their new teammates and vice versa.

No surprise, given that Pop's been experimenting with defensive schemes so much this preseason.
That said, Marco can put the ball on the floor, something Neal could never really do.![]()
Not always. Neal could really suck sometimes. Clang.
Glad for that. Neal always made me cringe bringing the ball up the floor.... Wasn't it the infamous First Round Series against Memphis where he was turning it over left and right on the dribble up even with Parker in?
Well, since defense wins championships....... Anyways, as a player like Marco, he'd better have a season to remember because he's going to get flat out clowned on the defensive end. I'm not basing this off a couple of meaningless preseason games.
No, based off his career he's a better shooter.
I like the fact he has size... at least compared to Neal... he isn't going to be blocking shots, but at least it isn't obvious to other players they can simply shot over him.
Defense wins champ's but if one has no defense then some improvement in offense over an equally bad D player is better than nothing...
The only thing Neal was good for on defense was a charge here and there. Marco has size to get rebounds on defense, looks like he can stay with his man enough and not lose him on every screen.
As I said at the time of his signing, he's just as bad as Neal from a defensive standpoint, tbh..I'll give him a slight edge due to size, but he's a liability..
Belineli is slightly more intelligent and a much better passer, while Neal's off the dribble game is superior..
They are both mediocre players that can be exploited, tbh..
u said wat I waz goin to... He does suk on d but they didnt sign him for his d tbh
maybe a microsecond faster in lateral quickness? ill take it
he's a better playmaker and passer
Plus I like the cuts he makes on offense, not just floating around the perimeter.
Marco = Manu's heir...
Marco will be great in a few years. He should start over Green, tbh!
