Naji is great in some things, especially getting to the paint and efficiency there. But, he is not an elite defender and he is a weak shooter (30 % from 3 is really concerning). His best role on a contending team might actually be a 6th man. Caris Levert (before this season in Detroit) could be a very good comparison for him, although he is a better shooter. LeVert was traded from Indy to Cleveland in 2022 for injured Rubio on expiring contract (never played for Indy), lottery protected FRP and a SRP.

This nails it, exactly. 

Marshall is a good player, but his effectiveness takes a nose dive when you play him off ball, and obviously most "good" teams want no part of playing him on ball, so...yeah, he's a 6th man, and even then he's kind of niche one, imo. The things we don't like about his fit with Flagg are going to pop up for a lot of other teams, too.
