Marion doesn't need to dominate the ball, or have plays run for him.

He's a different kind of basketball player than T-Mac. Ones a fascilitator, the others an initiator.

Marion got shut down in the playoffs last year by Bowen. Like 4 points shutdown. The whole series he got humiliated.

He's a glorified hustle player. Top tier, but he'll never be able to take his game to places that T-Mac can.

Like Nash, and the collection of the Suns team, they are made better by each other. The open and high octane offense, benefits their games. Marion cleans up the garbage. But as a go to player, the main focus, he'd wilt.

I'd want a T-Mac and a Marion on my team, each would play a valuable role into the overall team success.

Elton Brand and Marion are a bit more comparable, insofar as they do similar things for their teams - run, be active, grab boards, defend many different positions... but even there the edge would go to Brand because he has a better post up game and doesn not benefit from a playmaker of Nash's caliber.
