He is actually a damn good player. Really surprised me that he hasnt dont the Europe thing for better money and court time though. To state the obvious....the Kiwis would be tough with Marks and Bradshaw starting together, both good athletes with range...plus lefties are tough.
Alot of them are hired because the coach admires his hardwork and likes to use them in practice to help their better players work harder and harder. I know that Marks brings alot of energy to practices. When in San Antonio, his job at practice was mainly to just keep Duncan active. His job was to guard Duncan as hard as possible and take Duncan on in practice to make Duncan a better player and help improve his stamina.
Also, in Phoenix, Marks did the same to Stoudamire.
These guys are really only used for practice, but they do get their chances to play here and there.
