COACH BURKHAMER SAYS: "Marquise gives us another big body to beat and bang with in the low post. He is aggressive, tough and brings a workmanlike attitude to the floor. Marquise can score in the paint, but also has a nice touch as a face up post player. We need Marquise to be an animal on the glass and a neutralizer in the paint on the defensive end. We feel Marquise will help us immediately."
