RGJ sports writer Chris Murray will break down all 13 scholarship players on the Nevada basketball team leading into the team’s season opener Nov. 13 against Coastal Carolina. Today’s focus: Marcus Marshall.
Marcus Marshall
Class: Senior
Position: Combo guard
Height/weight: 6-3/190
Hometown: St, Paul, Minn.
2014-15 stats: 32.6 mpg, 19.5 ppg, 3.2 rpg, 1.6 apg, 45.9 FG%, 45.6 3PT%, 89.9 FT% (at Missouri State)
Likely role: Marshall was coach Eric Musselman’s first commitment at Nevada and while he only has one year of eligibility (next season), his talent was strong enough for Musselman to tie up a scholarship for two years for just one year of action.
