FA: Naji Marshall To DAL | 3yrs/27mil

[KillerLeft]

I like that Marshall has the ability to lead the break and make a good pass.  He doesn’t tend to get all the way to the basket against closeouts, but he does have a ‘floater’ game so to speak and can move the ball to an open shooter.  I suspect we will see him setting picks as well and he’s probably (thought I haven’t seen it in highlights) another skilled player in the short roll.  You probably don’t get all of that for $9mm unless there are some boneheaded plays mixed in.

This. This is what people are going to be shocked about with Marshall. In addition to what has been said above, he actually has an in-between pull up jumper game. He can shoot turnarounds from the high post, even. We won’t confuse him for Pascal Siakam, but he is going to add much more on the offensive end than people expect. 

I actually think BOTH Marshall AND Thompson will be used as screeners in this offense at times.
