After departing the New Orleans Pelicans this offseason, one of their past forwards has been named one of the most underrated players in the league.
On paper, they added more star power following the acquisition of Dejounte Murray in early-July. Ideally, he will allow the players already in place to do things they are best at since he will be taking over primary ball handling responsibilities.
CJ McCollum will work off the ball and should see his shooting numbers continue to be elite after he posted a career-high 42.9 percent shooting mark from deep. With better facilitation and Jonas Valanciunas gone, the lane should have more space for Zion Williamson and others to operate.in 2024-25. He would be the one piece who could get the Pelicans a legitimate starting center, something they are clearly lacking.
He averaged 7.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists during his 19.5 minutes per game. With his new team he's hoping to take his career to the next level."But he can rumble with bigger forwards who are more like actual bigs . And primary initiators who rely on changes in pace are right in his defensive wheelhouse. The 26-year-old is extremely plug-and-play on offense ...," he writes.
Favale goes on to highlight Marshall's 38.7 percent shooting performance from three-point land this past season and how effective he is at the rim and in the lane, converting 49.2 percent of his drives and 49.1 percent of his floaters. How he performs with the Mavericks will be seen, but there's a chance he becomes an impact player for the defending Western Conference champions and is a thorn in the side of his old team.
