While Lee is a crappy defender, he at least has the ability to be good at it. That's why I compared McGary to him, not necessarily because they played the same, but because I feel like have the same kind of physical abilities (Lee is more athletic though) and would play roughly the same role on a team.

I don't really disagree with any of this either. I would just say that I would love to have Marshall (SOMEthing) right now as opposed to what the Jazz have right now at the position (nothing).

I doubt his stock will ever get higher than it is right now and this is a weak draft. If I was him I would declare for the draft and McGary could very well be a lottery pick and maybe a top-10 pick.
Reminds me of me as a kid.
Here's the thing, I'll always say whom a player's abilities remind me of. Whether they can replicate that players stats or production is up to them, and it's not something I'm going to particularly predict, because it's not very easy to.
At least some of us are giving thoughts on players, rather than vague offerings.
The thing I hate about teams that only use zone - even ones that are famously good at executing it - is that they have precious little answers when their game-plan isn't working. You can alter a ton of details about man-to-man. But I'm no expert. I figure this is one of the bigger reasons that zone continues to be more of a way to throw off an opposing offense and is - IMO - underutilized in the NBA.
