I’ve seen a lot of these guys over the years. I think for sure Marcus has been the better player in the NBA once they were separated from each other, but I wouldn’t discount Markieff. He could very well end up as Billy Donovan’s No. 8 guy in the rotation and do some positive things for the Thunder. I forgot they were Philly kids though, so that gives Markieff more sway with me. The Thunder need more from this spot than they’ve been getting from Patrick Patterson so I can’t view this as anything but a smart hedge move which could have some nice upside for the Thunder. For me, it’s another reason I have Sam Presti atop my list for NBA Executive of the Year.
