Marcus Banks are you our Savior?

Hi Readers, well I watched some of the Timberwolves game last night, and when you play the Detroit Pistons you are only looking not to get embarassed. So today I am going to talk about our new point guard Marcus Banks.

If you never watched Marcus Banks the first thing you would notice is he is very fast off the dribble. He went to UNLV and was a lottery pick for the Boston Celtics. He is a great defender and likes to defend and kept Chancey Billups to nine points last night. This is what a scout said about Marcus Banks "Very aggressive... Excellent defender on the ball... A steal waiting to happen... Good quickness... Decent spot shooter... Shot off the dribble needs work... Not the best playmaker in the world... Does not always make the good decisions... Turnover prone".

So is he the savior to the Timberwolves he might be but don't hold your breathe. He has the speed and the defending skills to become a big time point guard in the NBA. He has some shooting skills but he needs to have a better shoot selection. Our team needs a sparkplug and Marcus Banks might be the energy we need to make a little run at the NBA playoffs. Only time will tell with this kid and out of all the options for point guard isn't he the best option.

Other Notes:

The Minnesota Wild play the San Jose Sharks tonight at 9:00 so be ready for a late one. The Wild despartely need a win and with Jacque Lemaire having three players hurt, and his team in a downward spiral. Look for the Wild to have a new captain tonight and maybe a little momentum swing.

The Minnesota Vikings former head coach Mike Tice is now the Assistant Head Coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars, rumor has it that good old Mike Tice had some contact with some of the Vikings free agents before he could have contact with them. Look for Mike Tice to get another big fine.
