Claude MARQUIS
MARQUIS, Claude
STRENGTHS: Modern frontline player, he can either play as a 4 or 5. His main qualities are his competitive spirit and his energy. Excellent physical structure, he’s powerful. He makes his presence felt in the paint and fights against bigger guys. He plays hard and does not shy away from the physical battle. Decent technique, he pops out for the rebounds. He can score points. His mid-range face up shot is improving all the time. He has character. CAREER: He came up with Cholet, where he had always played until last summer. He had his first meaningful playing time in 2000-01, but he showed his true worth in 2002-03 when he finished with 7.3ppg. He soon became a star in Cholet until he reached 15.7ppg in the 2004-05 season. His level dropped seasons after seasons until he was loaned in Italy in 2009-10 which coincided with Cholet winning the national title. His contract was rescinded at Cholet in January 2011. EVALUATION: An excellent frontline player for the French league, he had margin for improvement to aim to step up a level but never made it. He’s not extremely talented and the quality of his basketball is average. However, he’s a presence in the paint, he’s powerful and aggressive. He plays with will and never backs down. He proved he could score points.
