How as Marion only got one mention (that I saw)? The only thing he lacks compared to Pip is passing ability.

Josh Childress dudes, Josh Childress.
At a different level, but he's the same type of player.

Re: Which current player is most similar to Scottie Pippen?
Marion lacks ball-handling skills which leads to his lack of playmaking ability. He can't create off the dribble all that well and lucky for him he played for some damn good PGs (Kidd, Nash) that spoonfed him in an uptempo system for the majority of his career. Pippen basically IS a point guard in a 6'8 frame and that's what separates the two players. I also thnk Pippen's defense had more impact on the game. Marion is known as a versatile defender but honestly I've never seen him change a game/series on that side of the ball.

In terms of body and style, I would say Nic Batum. But he's got a looooong way to go to match Scottie on skill level.
Batum also dunks like Drexler, kid is fun to watch.

Lebron minus the lockdown ability Pippen had.
