MEMPHIS – Dressed in a full warm-up suit complete with a towel draped over his shaved head, Marreese Speights often looks like someone just happy to have a front-row seat to watch the NBA action being played in front of him.
But, as Speights pointed out once again late Monday night, looks can sometimes be very deceiving when it comes to his mannerisms along the Orlando Magic’s bench.
Whether he’s expecting to play or not – and mostly he hasn’t gotten into games thus far this season – Speights said a big part of his prolonged success as a reserve is because of his very focused attitude along the bench.
