Marcus Shaver ready for debut

It is finally basketball season. The Mountain West is shaping up to have some real talent this season. One stand out transfer is former Portland Pilot, Marcus Shaver. After originally being recruited by Boise State, Shaver makes his way to the Broncos via transfer and coach Leon Rice couldn’t be happier. Shaver started 52 games for Portland the last two seasons averaging 13.4 PPG 3.3 RPG and 2.2 APG. He is shaping up to be one of the most talented guards in the conference and will surely be a big contributor for the Broncos this season.
