Outlook

Marcus Wilson - Branislav Jancikin

A super quick, well rounded shooting guard, who can give some minutes also in relief at the PG spot. A proven scorer at high levels and opposing teams cannot afford to leave him open. Deadly from well beyond the three point line, he routinely shoots above the ever import 40% mark showing his accuracy. Will run the passing lanes and totally disrupt the opposition entry passes. Off the ball he can create his own shot and moves well waiting for the right time to spot up for open looks. A good leader and always shows his competitive nature during practice and games alike. A great addition to any backcourt.

Career

2010-2011: Signed with Coruna in LEB Silver in Spain.

2010: I

n February signed with Rosalia of LEB Silver in order to help them make a solid run at the playoffs. Actually got to Spain much earlier but a nagging injury kept him off the court. He finally returned to full strength and was able to impact the team in a very positive way but came up one game short of advancement to the playoff pool. Shot a spectacular 50% from 3pt land for the time he was there once again defining the fact that he is an excellent long range shooter.

2008-09:

Signed with CB Tarragona of LEB Silver in Spain. After a slow start to the season Marcus figured out what the coach expected of him and went on a tear scoring in high double figures 15 of the next 16 games. He hit his season high 30pts vs Cajasol on 2/6/09 going 7-14 behind the 3pt line to go along with 5rebs, an assists and a steal for the win.

2007-08:

Started the season in Poland at Stal Ostrow but extremely unprofessionalism on the part of the team caused him to leave the team after 9 games. Moved over to the Ukraine where he was brought in to finish the season with BC Odessa. He averaged 20+ppg to lead the team in scoring and showed his great leadership ability. A less than favorable situation as the team also was very problematic.

2006-07:
Signed in Bourg in France ProA and promptly showed his talent. Shot an astounding 40-40 from the FT without ever missing a shot! Went for a season high 26pts to go along with a season high 6rebs in 36 minutes vs Hyeres-Toulon on 20/1/07. Shot a season 3pt best 83% by going 5-6 from downtown vs Dijon on 28/10/06. Also dished out an astonishing 8 assists during the very same game.

2005-06:

Lined up for Tuborg in the top league in Turkey and again shoed his shooting prowess by knocking down 40% of his 3pt shots on the season.

2004-05:

Started the season in France ProA where he lined up for Gravelines as an injury replacement. When that finished up in March he moved over to Belgium to step into the lineup for powerhouse Charleroi in both the Belgian league and the ULEB Cup. Posted inpressive numbers in all three situations to really cement the fact that he is a high level scorer.

2003-04:

Reims France ProA - 28 games: 19.6ppg, 2.6rpg, 1.3apg, 43% 3pt

2002-03: BSG Bremerhaven Germany - 21 games: 23.7ppg, 3.8apg
