MBIII Draws Praise from Paul Pierce

Even before making his professional debut, Marvin Bagley III is already drawing some strong comparisons to NBA superstars from a former superstar himself.

Former Celtics great Paul Pierce recently stopped by Sacramento to conduct an interview with the Kings No. 2 overall pick as part of a feature with ESPN.

The Truth spoke with local media after spending some time with Bagley III and did not hesitate to dish out some praise.

“Marvin is a unique talent,” Pierce said. “He reminds me a lot of Chris Bosh, has some Kevin Garnett in him.”

The ten-time NBA All-Star also touched on Sactown’s squad as a whole and what he foresees for the young core in the future.
