Summary
If you draft Kendall Marshall you know exactly what you're getting, a true, pure point guard with great passing skills that will run a team, but won't provide much scoring or defense. Given the lack of true floor generals in the NBA, this actually has a lot of value. If Marshall can learn to hit 3s consistently and use his smarts to be a good, if limited defender he'll be a solid starting point guard you can win with, but if not he might be relegated to a backup role, though still with value.
