That's correct, Marsden had the flu and didn't play.
I feel Marsden has been solid defensively, at least he plays sound positionally.
Offensively he isn't your typical center which is what we need right now. I think he's a smart player and looks to set up plays but he needs to stop setting screens on offense and get to the post. That said, he might have the best mid-range shot on the team and does well with the set plays (high-lows for instance).
I like him but he certainly doesn't fill the role we desperately need which is a Homan-style post player. I was hoping Jiri would but that doesn't appear to be the case either.
Unlike most, I don't mind him as a starter but I recognize that I'm in the minority there.
