I think he could be one of the most undervalued players in the draft. As unlikely as it might sound I really don't think picking him in the early lottery would be completely outlandish. With that said it would be near impossible to take him at #2 overall. But couldn't Bobcats trade back just a bit for this unique talent?

I have said Marshall will be a great PG in the NBA but to even take him in the top ten is insane. If anything, Portland wants to trade their two 1st and we then take Marshall with that no.11 pick.

If that happened..the 'cats would probably move DJ (let him walk, RFA), and probably use Kemba as a 6th man. I don't think Marshal would provide much spark off the bench..he might be better served starting and getting other involved.

Just like Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.

MKG is a better scorer defender and all around player then Marshall. Since 1 is a PG and the other is a SF. Why you compared the 2 in the 1st place is dumb on your part. Marshall needs a team of scorer's to make him a good pick for a team. While being a great passer he isn't a good defender, shooter, finisher, or scorer . Which is what we need at PG right now.

I'm a UNC fan and like Marshall, however I question his ability to defend NBA guards. No doubt a great distributor of the basketball, but our so-called "scorers" would put all his talents to waste. I would rather see him end up on the Miami Heat, but know he won't fall that far.

I saw one mock draft of him landing in PHX to eventually replace Nash.

Anybody else think Marshall becomes a Jason Kidd, Eric Snow type guard who runs the team on offense but guards the other team's SG? He clearly wont be quick enough to stay in front of NBA PGs, but if he puts on a little weight I think he could be passable off ball defender. It would certainly help his chances of sticking around in the NBA since he could play next to a Jason Terry type player in the backcourt

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Where did I once say we should draft him because he's a projected Top 5 pick?   That's one of my many problems with you, your reading comprehension skills are very poor (and/or you just don't care to use your brain, one of the two).  I solely used that to point out that me pushing T-Mac isn't some absurd homerism, that at least I'm pushing someone who is deserving of a Top 5 draft pick. And despite me explaining it to you numerous times, you still seem to not grasp how QB's get placed in mock drafts vs draft grades.  They are treated entirely different in mock drafts to any other position, because of how teams generally treat them in the draft because of how important the position is. Literally any other position except QB, mock drafts generally follow draft grades with some team needs factored in.  But with QB's, draft grades are generally disregarded and they ALWAYS put a few QB's at the very top of the draft, because that's just usually what happens.  The exact same thing happened in 2022 with guys like Pickett and Willis widely being Top 10 picks in mock drafts, only for Pickett to fall to what, around 20?, and Willis going in the 2nd round (and even being the 3rd QB if I remember correctly too). The overwhelming majority of draft experts are saying there isn't a high first round grade on these QB's, but they still get mocked there because they're trying to predict how the draft will actually go. That's been my point the entire time, reaching for a QB in a bad QB draft when you have a roster as depleted of talent as ours, does not tend to work out well. And I've never said I'm not open to other players, I've very explicitly said that if a QB or DE stands out come draft time, I'm open to that discussion.  That I'd be open to Hunter as a CB but I prefer a WR over a CB at the top of the draft.  But we're also not talking about the 15th pick here where there could realistically be all sorts of possible picks to discuss.  With the first pick, there really would only be a small handful of options, T-Mac is head and shoulders above any other given our current roster and state of the franchise in general.

      TMac is good, but he isn't pick 1 on a WR good.  Last year he would be below Nabers and Williams.  This year you could argue Hunter is the better WR.  WR at 1 better be a Calvin Johnson not a WR that disappears some games in college...

      So because he's a projected top 5 pick he's should be the guy we draft.   Yet you say the other 2 QBs who are projected top 5 picks are not worth it because you think they aren't that good.   That's my problem with you. You just seem to only care about Tmac. I have yet to see you suggest anyone outside of Tmac. At least I'm open to other prospects.
