Stock Rising- Shawn Marion

Shawn Marion is three games into his return from a groin injury and he has already tallied three double-doubles.

Analysis: Shawn Marion may be thirty-four years old but he is getting tons of minutes(30/game) and making a big impact in the fantasy world this season. Since Marion has returned from a groin injury he’s averaging 14.0 PPG, 11.3 RPG, 4.3 APG, 1.0 SPG and 1.0 BPG. Marion really is contributing in just about every fantasy category. He doesn’t shoot as many threes these days and his assists will go back down to 2-3 per game but he continues to stuff stat sheets night in and night out.

Marion’s field goal percentage is nearly 50% this year which pretty much coincides with his career average. His free throw shooting is at 88% but he isn’t getting to the line quite enough to make a significant impact there. Marion will continue to receive thirty minutes per game and with it will come the 7-8 rebounds and the steals and blocks which are always so useful. The former UNLV product is available in over half of fantasy leagues and he does offer small forward and power forward position eligibility.
