I know I am going to get crucified for this, but I remember a lot of us (including me) liked Marshall coming out of North Carolina because of his pass-first mentality. I know he totally sucked in Phoenix this past year, but I'm not quite sure he got much time to develop and play on a winning team (and the coaching situation sucked too).

I got thinking...would he be a good fit in Utah with our "Core Four"? If he could improve his J a little, I see him being a nice fit. He could really make our bigs look better than they are right now and I just don't know of many young pass first point guards.

thoughts? (please be nice)
 
The problem with Marshall is that he isn't good enough to be a starter and probably will never be. He could be a good backup possibly but everybody wants a scoring PG coming off the bench.

Not interested in a guy that can't get into the lane and can't shoot and can't play defense... Eric Maynor was actually, from a realistic point of view, the perfect backup.
 
Wasn't interested before the draft, and I'm still not interested. He might end up being a decent backup, but I don't think we need to throw a first round pick at him.
 
I'd trade them our lottery pick for him and a future Top 10 protected first rounder. But they're not trading him.
 
The tiny chance that the 21st pick ends up being a really good pick for us is more valuable than the low-upside Marshall. Both Rajon Rondo and Ryan Anderson were drafted at #21 over the last 7 drafts.
 
He blows...hard. 57% free throws shooter are you kidding me? But thats not a problem since he can't even get to the line once per 36 minutes. His shot is flat out broken and is slow as hell. Wouldn't even give the 2nd rounder.
 
I'd give up the 21st and 2nd round pick. I think he'll make a great backup and the 21st and 2nd round pick are probably just duds that waste roster space and cap space.
