How do you play Marlon?

What do they do well?
Their weapons: jumping (84) and strength (82). Their jumping is more than solid and it's the trait to build their game around.
Where do they struggle?

Are they a good buy?
Their market price sits around 2,4 M€, with 19 K€ in wages. You pay for immediate, proven output: pricey but no surprises, they deliver now. And with a contract until 2027, you have leverage to bring the price down.
