Marcus Landry Trying Out for the Kings

HERE

We should have had both Jason Thompson and Carl Landry’s little bro’s.

That means the season is just around the corner! I can’t wait to watch the kings again.

is awesome … he’s probably trying to get 25 guys so they can scrimmage the River Cats.

Landry was signed as a free agent by the New York Knicks. September 25, 2009

Then after playing in only 17 games, on February 18, 2010 New York Knicks traded Nate Robinson and Marcus Landry to the Boston Celtics for Eddie House, J.R. Giddens, Bill Walker and a future conditional second-round pick.

Now, they’re fighting each other for the professional lives.

Side note: Boston has this listed under Landry’s Scouting Report:

Assets: Brings a high-energy, high-motor approach to the floor. A good leaper who takes high-percentage shots. Hustles and does the little things. Can hit the three.
 
Flaws: Not a big scorer. While a solid defender he’s not a big stat-sheet guy.
 
Career Potential: Solid swingman off the bench.

Sounds like a solid third string backup, who could develop down the road into a decent defensive backcourt mate for Evans. And, who knows, having his brother on the squad might be an added incentive for Carl to resign with the Kings.

I was a huge fan of his during the college years. But he fit very well into that system (lockdown defense, low scoring = wins). He played C/PF primarily in college so I don’t know how the adjustment has gone to swingman.

While a solid defender he’s not a big stat-sheet guy.

I think this is even underrating his defensive performance (at least in college). He play great D in the post, but again, the swingman role might be a challenge.

I have his game used summer league jersey, that’s all I know about the guy.

Waiving Jackson, and picking up Luther Head and Marcus Landry.

I heard Greene’s uncle once hit a half time show midcourt shot, somewhere in the 80’s. Maybe he’s the solution to ouroutside shooting problems.
