Closer to Mark Jackson or Andre Miller. His lack of athleticism is exaggerated and his on-court leadership, IQ, vision and passing are off the charts. Not saying he's a sure-shot all-star but I think he'll find a way to be effective in the NBA and could start and succeed in a good situation, ours being good.
Agreed. Marshall's been stroking that three-ball with success during the ACC Tournament and now through first round of the NCAA Tournament. A good sign he's working on that three-point shot. Defenses are sagging him left and right, and he's been burning them. Might not have a deceptively explosive first step, but it's quick enough for him to blow-by his defender when they're running out at him. The lack of athleticism is definitely overblown.
I haven't seen a player like Marshall who's able to dart a 20-foot pass down the court whether that's a one handed chest pass or bounce pass with perfection. And how many PGs can make an entry pass with a bounce pass? That's crazy. Usually, it's a snap pass or direct pass going through the side of the on-ball defender's head.
