You know what ..? UK has all kinds of haters. Gotta pick the battles. Your post was funny, I laughed, I really did .. but I'm not sure how to spend the energy sometimes .. I should have acknowledged your post, though, because you're a fellow SEC fan and an apparent lover of cbb.

Sarcasm as a spin off of KrazySalmonTooth's post.

I don't know if Marshall is going to work out wherever he's drafted, but I think on a team with a breadth of good options as oppose to one or two other really good players. Especially since in the latter scenario that means that he might not be able to handle the ball as much.

I'd be happy with Lillard or Marshall, but all of a sudden, I just think Marshall could be the piece that makes everything work.

Well, him, or Deron Williams...

Marshall really might be the missing ingredient...seems like he would be able to take all our young pieces and make them 'click'

And Marshall + Burks + Hayward would create quite the ball movement. Would be fun to watch.

I would like Marshall because he seems like a 20 year old veteran. I could really see him coming in right away, starting, and being affective. His role on the team would be exactly the same as it was with UNC.

Damn .. I look for every opportunity to disagree with you, but you're right most of the time. Pisses me off, really.

a) effective :)

b) I know this is a poor comparison, but a lot of people said similar things about Kemba Walker before he went pro last summer (regarding coming in, being instantly effective due to being veteran-esque, and what not). I am also aware that they are very different players, I'm just saying that older college PGs don't necessarily equate to instant contribution

Totally agree. When I think of Marshall, I don't think of some young, immature, underdeveloped talent like I do with most of the other prospects. It's weird.

I said Kemba would be average .. as well as Knight (to be slightly better). I also said Wall would be top 3 PG within 2 years .. we're all guessing.

The difference between Kemba and Marshall is that Kemba's scoring game was obviously going to struggle against superior competition. Marshall isn't a great scorer and ought to be able to score in the same way in the pro game, plus his passing is really his main asset.

Lineups with Marshall, Hayward, and Burks would be great as long as Burks can become a 33%+ 3p shooter and Hayward can approach 40.

I think Burks will get around 34%, Hayward will be 37%, Marshall will be 30%. Not great, but they would stretch the floor well enough, imo.
