Kendal Marshall was pretty good for his debut ...
and yes, Troy Daniels

That ties the Rockets win streak in 2008

 

Kendall Marshall was picked up by ... you guessed it ... Philly 76ers

Obviously Hinkie has the same idea as Morey. Get ex-lottery picks that may have flamed out for one reason or another (eg fit).

I know the Rockets were high on Marshall from a Friedman article around that year's draft. Rated Marshall one of the best passers to have come out of college in recent years. Issue with Marshall is his shot and defensive quickness (he has little).

Doing this makes a lot of sense for Philly in rebuilding. They are going to make good use of their DLeague affiliate just like the Rockets.

 

Rough shooting night for Troy Daniels ... only 7-17 from 3s

Haha

 

Love that caanan outplayed marshal.

Also is convington Houston's answer to a future wing defender. So many good signs from talton I think he could carry this team is Canaan is called up

 

I still can't grasp the fact that around 50% of the team's shots are 3 pointers. lol.
