T.J. Warren, Josh Jackson and Marquese Chriss – will share a mentor in Shawn Marion. He is 3rd in field goals made, 4th in points, 2nd in offensive rebounds, 1st in defensive rebounds, 2nd in total rebounds, 2nd in steals, 3rd in blocks and 8th in defensive rating. Shawn didn’t start off strong in shooting the ball but kept pushing himself and although the form was not pretty, he became really good on the offensive side of the ball. Marion didn’t get many plays called for him but he hovered around 20 points per game as a Sun. If he could spread his defense and rebounding that gave him the nickname “Matrix” it would really aid the young guns. Also, his attitude and hustle might push them to bring out their game on a consistent basis.
