Seriously, why isn't he playing overseas. He could get at least 70k per yr with housing and a car.

Because he’s trying to make the NBA and has a better path being in the G-league? He’s only 24. I’m sure if he doesn’t break through in the next year or two, you will see him go overseas.

He's 6'2" and can't shoot threes, how on earth could he compete for a roster spot in the NBA?

By being an incredible athlete who can defend multiple positions, rebound, and get to the rim even without the threat of a three point shot? No one said he would be a star or even starter.

You are right, though, if he had a decent shot, he'd probably already be in the NBA, being 6'2 is not his problem.

The opportunity cost of not going overseas out of college and not making nba is huge.

It's what Shevon Thompson did: spent a few years in the G-League, never quite improved enough to make a roster, and is playing in Belgium now. Maybe he comes back for one more shot (at 26, he has maybe one more shot), maybe he stays in Europe until he can't play anymore. I don't think you can begrudge a player for chasing a dream.

I like the kid, however, he's not an incredible athlete by NBA standards. Not even close.

So Mason Basketball broadcasted that MM will play in the summer league. He has totalled 4 minutes of playing time in three games. Yet another embarrassing mark on our program.

I think that’s a bit harsh. I’m sure you don’t mean that Marquise is embarrassing to Mason in any way. Because we should be proud of his accomplishments and appreciate what he has done for the program.

I also think that Mason is right to support its basketball alumni in any way possible. I’d love to see more “broadcasting” (tweeting, etc) about past players’ successes in other professional leagues.

Is it so tough to reach out to the summer league team to get so sense of how much time he'll get. Shevon won a Belgium championship and crickets from the marketing team. Mason still garbage bc of ppl like Max. Time to upgrade our staff.

P.s. I'm not saying MM is embarrassing us, he's working his a** off probably. Our program is embarrassing. Upgrades needed across the board.

You would think social media would be low hanging fruit.

I will say, someone from Mason reaching out to the Timberwolves asking about Marquise and playing time would probably get crickets back, I'm sure.

Will Thomas also just won EuroCup Finals MVP

You realize Max has been gone for a few months right?
