Le Saviez-vous ?
Marshall was passed over by every team in the 2022 NBA Draft despite being one of the most productive seniors in college basketball — a slight he has used as motivation throughout his professional career.
He grew up in Ruston, Louisiana — the same small city that produced Karl Malone, one of the greatest power forwards in NBA history.
Marshall holds the Xavier University record for career steals, demonstrating his defensive identity was built long before the NBA.
His four-year college career at Xavier was driven by loyalty to the program, eschewing transfer portal opportunities that might have raised his draft stock earlier.
