So nice to see him play given his size.  Amazing how he holds his own playing against gargantuans!

We all knew Markus was small because we watched him for 4 years. But to see him side-by-side with 6-8 and 6-10 NBA guards, he looks so tiny out there. But he has a big heart, he'll work his arse off, and that shot will always at least give him a chance to stay around.

Teams need shooters. I look at Markus or Joe Harris of the 76ers or some others for whom shooting is pretty much all they're there for, and I don't see why some here are so ready to dismiss Sam Hauser's chances at an NBA career. A smart 6-8 guy who can shoot. I'm rooting for him to be Markus' teammate!

They couldn't even handle playing with guys like Herro and Howard.  They'd quit in the blink of an eye if they had to play next to Harden, Westbrook, etc.

They know how the game is meant to be played.  Those other guys don't, and they won't tolerate it.

That’s funny. You’re right ... Sam and Markus probably would be fine.

Joey also can shoot so I wouldn’t 100% dismiss his chances, but he’s slow, and both mentally and physically soft, so no bueno.

Article in the Athletic on Markus:
https://theathletic.com/2616042/2021/05/27/why-nuggets-markus-howard-is-ready-for-unexpected-playoff-role-its-in-his-dna/

My favorite part:
“Me and Will (Barton) talked about this the whole year, just his approach toward the game of basketball and being a professional, the way he comes to work every single day,” said Paul Millsap, the veteran who played in his first of 122 career playoff games in 2007, shortly after Howard turned 8.

“I don’t know too many rookies who look forward to rookie duties. He is one of them. He’s ready to do his job, no matter what it is. I’m not surprised at the success he’s having and the minutes he’s been able to play because he’s definitely a professional, on and off the court.”

I subscribe to The Athletic but somehow missed that article, so thanks for posting.

When someone as respected as Millsap says that about Markus, it means something.

Millsap was repeatedly directing and teaching Markus on defense the other night.  Someone on Twitter was mocking it, (I think it was @HPbasketball who is a Nugs fan and a BB writer was complaining about it but he’s been kind of a hater towards Markus for whatever reason) but it showed respect and care for his growth as a player.  As has been repeatedly shown with how excited and pumped people get on the bench for his successes.  He’s won the vets and the coaches and the young guys over

“That was a tough shot for Markus Howard. I know Markus used to get lots of shots when he was at Marquette, but he’s not at Marquette anymore.”

— TNT announcer Brendan Haywood

Note: Markus came back two possessions later to drill a wiser shot, an open 3.

As i mentioned before, on brand, the Nuggets aren’t playing great, Markus has hardly been on the floor, but in the 3 min he has, dude has to fire off this tweet

https://twitter.com/hpbasketball/status/1398741677129404418?s=21

Same dude has had this to say

https://twitter.com/hpbasketball/status/1397023211838054411?s=21

Continually acting like Markus is a Make A Wish case and complaining about his presence in the offense like he didn’t avg 20 per game on better than 50% shooting when he got minutes in the last 3 games of the season, and like he isn’t shooting 65% in the playoffs with no TOs.

Everyone in the Nuggets org is raving about him, there have been positive print articles written about him, and this dude needs to make him a scapegoat for every Nuggets failing. Maybe Shaq Harrison isn’t playing cause he’s been an offensive nobody in the minutes he does get

3-14 yesterday in a blowout loss while absolutely lost in D.

Though he did double his apg numbers yesterday.

When Markus entered the game with 2:42 left in the first quarter, Denver trailed 25-19. When he left about 10 minutes later (at the 4:44 mark of the 2nd quarter), Denver was still trailing by the same margin, 42-36.

By the time he got back into the game, with 4:48 left in the 3rd quarter, Denver was down by 22.

Markus obviously had nothing to do with the game becoming a blowout.

The numbers he compiled thereafter, good and bad, were in garbage time and therefore meaningless (though he did finish at +2).

He has had an extremely positive impact on the Nuggets over the last month, as his coach and teammates have gone out of their way to say on multiple occasions.

I continue to be proud and impressed by Markus Howard. There certainly is no reason to bash him.
