Efficient, Tough G/F with Elite Inside Shooting for Eastern Illinois
Marshawn Blackmon is a steady, versatile 6'5" G/F whose primary differentiator is **elite inside efficiency** (59.1% FG at EIU, 65.6% in Germany) rather than perimeter scoring, having made zero three-pointers in his 2016-17 college season while posting a 47% field goal rate [1][6]. Known for **toughness and winning impact** off the bench, he played all 30 games as a sophomore, finishing the season on a hot 5-of-7 shooting streak in his final three games [1][4]. While his current college stats are modest (3.2 PPG, 2.5 RPG) due to limited minutes (6.0 MPG), his **professional trajectory** proves his fit: he averaged 16.9 PPG and 6.2 RPG in Germany's Pro B with 65.6% shooting, showcasing the intensity and versatility to move from forward to guard [6]. He is a **high-fit addition for teams needing a reliable, high-percentage interior scorer** who defends multiple positions, though not a primary scoring option for teams seeking volume shooters [1][6].
