Kendall Marshall: Draft Profile

First of all I would like to point out that the Zach man said that Marshall is extremely overrated. Suprisingly I would have to somewhat agree with him. I believe that he is a little overrated but not too bad. At the end of the season Marshall's averages were 7.8 points per game and 9.7 assists per game. This is the part why he is overrated, he does not have very flashy stats. The part where he is not overrated is how the North Carolina team could not function corectly when they did not have Marshall playing. for them. He broke his wrist in the tournament and UNC never looked the same again. They slipped past a 13 seed in the Sweet 16 ( who defeated Michigan), but when they hit a team that was at least half decent, they lost the game. They did play a good Kansas team but the guard matchups for UNC were awful because Kansas already had better guards before Marshall got injured. Marshall is projected to go in the mid  first round ( a pick before Jared Sullinger) to the Utah Jazz. Although he would be a good fit in Utah, I do not think he will be drafted that early, or at least he shouldn't. My prediction is that Marshall will go to the Golden State Warriors in the mid to late first round. After trading away thier stud point guard, Golden State is going to need to bring up some good prospects to be the future of thier franchise. Most of you who have seen Marshall play probably can't see him as a Warrior but I think that it is a perfect fit for him and he will be able to play decent minutes as a rookie. He is only a sophmore and I though a better desicion for him would be to develop one more year in college then enter the draft but I am sure he will do fine in the NBA.
