Hes very robotic right now--but he has the tenacity the athletic ability and the understanding of what his job is that makes him valuable. The fact that he has a nice shot form that can be developed into game skills is a plus.

Nowhere as atheletic as Mason, nowhere. He'll work hard as all Plumlees do but he's bench fodder. Briggs read has it about right imo though I think his athletic abilty is average. Limited 3rd string backup

My take is that he will be better in the NBA than in the claustrophobic College system. Also he's a late bloomer IMO. He seems like his on a RoLo path to development. Real slow but getting better. Should be interesting to see how he looks in SL.

You come to that conclusion from a tape showing a seven fter who can dunk with two hands? He isnt fluid or quick and slow reactions. Those practice dunks mean little is a real game. There is a reason that he wasnt drafted despite having the last name, school, coach, age. Manage expectations

Yeah he's a guy who at 23-24 still needs development but I think he's good enough to be a third c in the nba which has it's value. I would've rather had Auguste as a USAF if we were going Cs as he has more upside and is MUCH more fluid

First of all did I place any EXPECTATIONS on Marshall??? See this is the kind of negative ass Bullish I'm always talking about. All I did was talk about the fact that the kid is in fact athletic for a 7'er. If you can show some kind of proof that he's not athletic go ahead but i'm not some clown that has no idea WTF i'm talking about. Watch this video at about the 1:07 mark and watch his agility and quickness for a 250 lb 7'er.
