My Opinion & Ratings
Scoring - 2: When he's had the chance, Mario has shown his ability to score.
Passing - 1: He's not a passer by any stretch of the imagination.
Rebounding - 3.5: Pretty decent when it comes to banging the boards, especially after he's had two operations on his knees.
Defense - 2.5: He was a great shot blocker in college, but the knee operations have obviously hindered his ability.
Shooting - 3: He doesn't get much of a chance on the offensive end, but showed he could shoot when he played in Phoenix.
Clutch - 1: Hasn't got a chance to show anything in clutch time.
