I saw Marshall go 17 of 18 from the line in one game last season. He obviously has no business being in a Spurs uniform.
Marshall has palyed with Mavs because tons of player were injured. His stats were 3.1 ppg, 1.3 rpg in 10.6 mp. To me it's not enough to say "Rawle has shown he can produce at a certain level in this league".
Now the question is : Is Marshall a good prospect ?
I don't know him enough to answer to this qustion but I'm not sure that he has that much upisde. After all, he is still 24 years old.

I don't want to talk him up too much. He's done well in preseason games, though was inconsistent game to game. Does that indicate he's picking the game up? I don't know. He may wind up being nothing in the league, but we sure could use a young SF prospect at the end of the bench. His salary is very cheap and if we could manage to get him for one of our 2nd rounders (in the 50s), I'm not sure we could get a better talent that late. He has the tools, the athleticism, the defensive mindset, and a good at ude.
Glancing through rosters for the waiver wire, I could see Phoenix or Sacramento picking him up before we get the chance.
stop filling up the board with threads about ty players.
To be fair, in those nine starts last year, he averaged 5.6 ppg, shot 48% fg (16/33), 50% 3p (1/2), 89% ft (17/19), had 5 orb, 14 drb, 7 assists (8 tos), 6 steals, 4 blocks... all in 17 mpg.
He wasn't ready yet to start - he's not ready for huge minutes - but those are pretty nice numbers.
As you point out, at 24 he may have hit his level, so there's that, but he is one of the handful of waiver-line players who is almost guaranteed to be picked up somewhere else.
I'd be happy with Ebi or him. Somebody. We need to try, at least.
he would not get a 5 years deal anyhow, what he would get is a 1 year deal for the minimum.
btw. at the age of 24 Bruce was still playing in the CBA and didn't play his first NBA season till 26.
in the current situation he's definitly worth the "risk" to trade for him by using a 2nd round pick.
Bump. If anyone's interested
When I caught wind of Indiana's roster predicament, I went with the prevailing thought they would cut Rawle Marshall, who they acquired in the Anthony Johnson trade. They obviously went with White instead.
The Spurs must have had an eye on this situation, which explains why all our training camp guys were cut, including Melvin Sanders. They must have banked the Pacers had to shed one of their Small Forwards and, looking around the league, thought they'd have an excellent shot at him, whichever it was going to be.
There's also a thread about James White dated after the cut, but it's more of the speculation the current thread has.
