Marcus Fizer Named NBA D-League MVP




Posted by Jeff Chan Categories: Athletes, Kudos, NBA,

Marcus Fizer signs with the New Orleans HornetsWell this is somewhat of a dubious award, sort of like having the all-time HR record for a minor league baseball player like Crash Davis, Kevin Costner’s character in Bull Durham.  Getting called up to the big show and getting send back down back and forth is not the career former lottery pick Marcus Fizer had in mind, when he was the #4 overall pick in the 2000 NBA Draft.  Did Fizer ended up being a bust?  Sure.  Did the Bulls blow the pick by selecting Fizer at #4, well they did over-looked Mike Miller at #5 but well not exactly.  This must be one of the worst drafts in NBA history.  Out of the entire draft class, there have been a total of three all-star appearances by every one of these players from the 2000 class.  Number one pick Kenyon Martin, pick #19 Jamaal Magloire was a default Center selection for the Eastern Conference one year, and Michael Redd, who amazingly slid to the second round had one appearance each.  Never-the-less it’s not cool to be the basketball equivalent of a “4A player” (AA,  AAA, Majors).
