Following potential 2012 draftees

[Dr. Jones]

Marshall is actually considered to be a pretty good defender.

Decent, but not good, at the collegiate level. Would get burned often in the NBA, imo.

 

[Dr. Jones]

I don't know. I don't know how a guy with his simply poor ability in regards to everything except passing can get on the floor. He's a nice backup, maybe. I believe all perimeter players need to learn to shoot, but if you can't beat your man, can't finish, can't rebound, and can't defend... how the hell can you be expected to help your team? Kendall Marshall looks like a taller late-career Brevin Knight but not as good defensively.

If he can't learn to make the defense respect him in some way, he's not going to do anything in the NBA. Frankly, the only chance of that is that he learn to become an exceptional jumpshooter, which he is not even close to right now.

So kind of a Rondo, xtra-lite?

Granted he's never played a minute of NBA ball, but couldn't you also say he's Rubio sans the frills?

Not a terrible way of putting it. While Rondo has exceptional speed, length, and defensive ability, he's a bit of a punk bitch with looks to match.

Having 3+ HOF-ers in the NBA is about the relative luxury Marshall has at UNC. Another reason to be skeptical.

How do you explain the monumental leap UNC took once it inserted Marshall into the lineup? He simply makes players better around him.

Yeah, because he has good players to make better. I'm not saying everyone can do that, either.

Easy. Larry Drew III.

I wonder who the better pro will be: Kanter or Sullinger.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Austin Rivers would make a great off the bench scoring guard. He is nasty, nasty off the dribble. He just needs to improve his catch and shoot.

 

[orangello]

Rivers looks much better tonight than the other games I have watched him in.

Perry Jones was a monster in his return. 27 points 6 rebounds on 10/14 shooting and 7/9 from the line. Not seeing Quincy Miller in the box score though. Anyone know why that is?

Saw him on the bench in street clothes. Probably a minor injury or maybe a one game suspension.
