Kendall Marshall


Recommended Posts

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 all the money invested in the offensive line, we really need to hit on some Round 1-3 picks.  We could really use a star receiver or pass rusher on a rookie contract for a few years.
    • I understand everyone being happy but let's try not to turn it into another schoolgirl crush festival. No offense. It isn't slower WRs that cause wild overthrows. They have all kinds of practice. It is his mechanics keeping things under control that allows a more efficient conversion of energy, let's call it, into the throw, that we are seeing.  He was doing it with horrible mechanics and needing to put 100% effort to get the ball that far. That totally fugs your accuracy. There is video of Mahomes and Carr on this site that I have linked with them throwing under control vs all out trying to get the most velocity on a radar gun. It shows exactly what I am saying. I didn't make it up. I have been telling y'all for a year at least. It really is all about the margins with Young and he has to be very attentive to his technique to get the most from what he has. He is doing that now and this is the new 'what he can do'. And this is it, there ain't no more. You decide if that's enough for you I guess. But you are noticing better ball flight and zip I am pretty sure, it comes from there. Again go look at the Buffalo drive in preseason and you will see that same thing you see lately. To do that stuff you have to be willing to stand tall come what may, sometimes. Hopefully you have protection to step up safely but the difference making happens when you stand in there and finish just ahead of a hit.  ..... And btw, the straw that broke the camel's back when Tepper fired Reich, was because he couldn't fix it in a week. One of the last issues that I remember was about Young's footwork. You know, I guess it is normal that 10 weeks into the season someone just realized, or finally accepted, that Young had major fundamentals issues. It took them a lot longer to realize it isn't an overnight fix. And my issues with Young were specifically over this stuff. Major rehab job, you don't pay what we paid for that. Hopefully he is 'fixed' and it 'took' and he doesn't go back into his little safe space of the old mechanics like he did week 1. If he hangs with the new, this is what you are working wth now. We just saw his ceiling. 
    • i'm not nearly 100%, but i'm trending that way. He's definitely got me around 75%.
