Good passer, respectable shooter and adequate defender.
Yes!!!! This fits my young player with upside criteria and let the kids duke it out and see who rises to the top.
I couldn't agree with you guys any more strongly...Marshall is exactly the kind of guy I like as a backup PG. His Assist to TO ratio has been amazingly good every year. I didn't have him on my radar because I assumed he was still far from being recovered from his ACL, but he says he will be ready by October. I like him better than Brown, and maybe even better than Jones. I would love it if Flip was able to bring him to camp.
I was thinking about Marshall too before he was brought up in this thread. For some reason, the Lakers gave up on him. He's a very accomplished passer but not much of a scorer. I think he's a fit.
KM is an odd case. He has some good numbers, and always seems to play decent in an emergency role for teams, but he can't stick. I don't get it, but I've always liked him.
I don't get why Marshall doesn't get more love around the league either. He seems like he could at least become a top backup passing PG and he has hit his 3 pointers the last 2 years. It just seems weird. I would take him over Brown if healthy even if I think Marshall might not be a good defender.
