Or Kanter. Although, I think Burks and Kanter obviously had the physical tools (especially Burks) to be good defenders, even though they weren't at the time. Marshall? Maybe not.

Same with Kidd, right?

Sure, Kidd was very fast and had good size for a PG.
Not saying Marshall can't develop into a good defender, I just don't think there's as much reason to expect him to do so like there were with other poor defenders coming out of college.

Would love this, but it's looking like Beal is out of our range. Marshall + Lamb/Rivers/Miller could happen, though.
If it's bad defender in college because of physical tools instead of being a physical talent, but missing the right culture or motivation (Kanter, Burks), yeah, it usually gets worse...

Chances are he won't ever be a great defender, but I wouldn't say there's no chance. Defense is effort and desire more than anything else. So if he gains that, along with great defensive fundamentals, he could be decent on that end of the floor. We'll see.
From what I've read and also seen (to a smaller degree, admittedly), he's not lacking fundamentals or effort from what I can tell.

Draftexpress.com just updated their mock draft:
https://www.draftexpress.com/nba-mock-draft/2012/
It has the Jazz getting PJ3 and Marshall. That would be a steal of a draft IMO.

Team needs have not been accounted for yet. Seems like there are a lot of good fits for teams on this mock.
