Do you guys think his game translates into the NBA? and if so will he be a starter down the road or just a great backup? What team do you guys think would be the perfect fit for him?

I think at the very least he’ll be a top notch backup. I wasn’t high on him at all as a prospect coming into the year, but the more I watched him the better he seemed to get. He’s actually capable of scoring and his jump shot seemed to improve quite a bit as the season went on. His defense will be an issue, but at least he has good size which will help some. With his passing ability I think he’ll have a nice long career as a capable to solid starter.

 Marcus Williams (UConn) 2.0

 he is going to be good.  if he ever regains his HS FT shooting form, he will be deadly with the ball in his hands.  I think he was like 90% in HS from the line.  His jumper is steadily improving.  If his outside shot and freethrow % is there…then he wont be as much of a liability as people think he will.

I’m really big on the guy. I think the Jazz will take him at 9, it might be a reach but I think that he’s going to be a really solid starting point guard on a contending team, probabley not an all star but a guy who can really lead his team.

He reminds me a bit of Andre Miller to be honest.  Not much of a shooter, creates very well, needs the ball in his hands to be effective, slow and steady pace, not athletic but a high basketball IQ.  

That said, as No Rim Treys said, the Jazz would be perfect for him.  They need a point-guard and with two very good and young bigs, they can be one of the better half-court teams in a couple of years when they’re all ready.  (Kanter and Favors)  I don’t know why, he just seems like the high character guy that the Jazz are always after.  I think it’s a shoe-in fit.

I like Marshall b/c of all the upside! left to him….he’s like 6’3 right? I know he’s not the best shooter or defender, but much of that will come along /get better with his NBA career. His passing skills, floor vison and understanding of offensive flow are sick! Marshall could be a starter and like Y2G said “a top notch backup” at least, but all that depends on the team and what they have to work with
I would start him no matter what b/c Marshall is a guy that just makes your team better on so many levels

at UNC Marshall has shown improvement in his scoring and he will continue to get better with that, just don’t ask him to give you like over 20pts a game
He’s gonna be in the NBA a long time:)

Im hesitant on him. The reason being that reports have his arm at 6’3”. He is a step slow and needs to improve shooting. At least with Rondo he had a 6’9” winspan. I see backup written all over him

Great college point guard. I’ve been stunned to see him as a lottery pick. Everyone who feels like he’s a perfect fit for Utah forgets that this is not a Jerry Sloan team anymore. Pass first pg’s are great, however if they can’t guard their spot and/or make an open shot, then they’ll never be anything but a great college point guard.

Kendall will have a solid career in the NBA.  He’s improved his jumper and is crafty getting to the rim off the bounce using his upper body strength to get by his defender instead of his foot speed.  I don’t think he’s as slow as people have been saying he is.  He got a great change of pace to his game and has a pretty good first step.  I wouldn’t be surprised if he averaged 5+ assists his rookie year.
