Marlis Sbetts, Curry calls him "the biggest shooting guard in the league"

Friends should not forget Marlis Spetts, the center who Curry calls "the biggest shooting guard in the league."

Marreese Speights, Marris Speights, 6-foot-10 inches (208 cm), plays as Power Forward (PF)/Center (C). He was born in August 1987 in St. Petersburg, known as the "Sunshine City" in Western Florida, USA. At the 2008 NBA Draft, he was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers to enter the NBA with the 16th pick in the first round. The draft template is Al Jefferson. In his ten-year NBA career, Marlis Spetts played for six teams, the 76ers (2008-2011), the Grizzlies (2011-2013), the Cavaliers (2013), Warriors (2013-2016), the Clippers (2016-2017), and the Magic (2017-2018). In the 2014-2015 season, he won the NBA championship with the Golden State Warriors. He played 705 games in the regular season, including 75 games, with the opportunity to start, averaged 15.1 minutes per game, scored 7.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.3 steals and 0.5 blocks, and played 60 games in the playoffs, including 2 starts, averaging 9.8 minutes per game, contributing 5.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, 0.4 assists, 0.2 steals and 0.4 blocks.

Malice Spetts has excellent athletic ability. It is hard to imagine that such a big guy with great footsteps and movement speed, high scoring efficiency, and extra ability. Not only does he have rich inside offensive skills, but he also has a soft mid-range shot ability, and can also knock down three-pointers from outside. He has made 6 three-pointers in a single game, and his three-point shooting percentage in his NBA career is 36.0%, which is very suitable for the playing style of the small ball era. Stephen Curry even called him "the biggest shooting guard in the league." But his defensive presence is weak, his defensive awareness and position sense are lacking, and his rebounding ability is also relatively weak.

Although Maris Spetts is a small figure in the NBA, it does not prevent him from playing many outstanding performances. On February 15, 2012, local time in the United States, in the Memphis Grizzlies defeated the New Jersey Nets (now known as the Brooklyn Nets) 105:100 away game, Marlis Spetts started for 38 minutes, scoring 20 points, 18 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks, of which 18 rebounds created the single game in Spetts' NBA career. On February 10, 2014, in the Golden State Warriors' Philadelphia 76ers' game at 123:80, Marlis Spetts played for 26 minutes on the bench, making 12 of 15 shots (including 1 of 2 three-pointers), and 7 of 8 free throws, scoring the highest single-game 32 points in NBA career, plus 8 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 blocks. After the end of the 2017-2018 season, Marles Spetts left the NBA and chose to join the CBA League until February 2021. During this period, he also had some irrational behavior in the CBA and was suspended. He briefly joined the BIG3 League in the United States in 2020, but there has been no other related news about him since then.
