Men’s basketball assistant coach Donyell Marshall knows what it takes to be a successful three-point shooting big man. He was a 6-foot-9 power forward in the NBA for 14 seasons known for his three-ball. He even shares the record for most three-pointers in a game (12) with Kobe Bryant.
In order to be successful, a person of that height must use it to their full advantage, he said during the Bulls’ practice in Alumni Arena Monday.
