Marreese Speights – Loic Remy

Instant offense off the bench is the game and Marreese Speights/Loic Remy is the name. Mo Buckets, as he is lovingly known by Warriors fans, was the scoring machine that came off the bench for the Golden State Warriors.

He was the spark that helped ignite the second team offense and he even contributed with some timely defensive plays from time to time. He was never the rim protector that Andrew Bogut is and he did most of his damage in the mid-range game instead of the post but he scored a lot and thats what matters.

Loic Remy is the same, he provided the Blues with instant offense from the bench and scored some vital goals for Chelsea FC in the title run-in. He never lost his confidence despite being second choice to Diego Costa and could always be counted on to play a big role in the matches he was called upon. In Costa’s absence, much like Speights with Bogut, Remy was a big-time contributor for the Blues even though he is a different style of center forward than the Brazilian.
