Expert Analysis
Daniel Siehndel | Prep Hoops Scout
Marshall was solid all weekend as a tough, gritty two-way guard, most effective on Friday evening and Sunday. Playing bigger than his frame, he was aggressive and quick to penetrate, consistently exploiting different defensive coverages and looks. He flashed as a tough shot-maker, showing just enough range from deep to keep defenders honest while coming up big in crunch time. Defensively, he stayed engaged and in a stance, competing on that end of the floor. At his best on the ball, he made opposing guards uncomfortable with consistent pressure. Deven was also solid in scramble and rotation situations, closing out under control and getting to the right spots to provide help when needed.

Marshall is the top prospect for Rocky. The junior had his moments in this game as he went for 21 points. Smooth combo guard that can play both on and off the ball. Downhill slasher that finishes with tremendous body control around the cup when getting downhill. Pushed in the open floor and played with good pace. Big spring/summer ahead for him as he had 20 points.

A 2 way impactful player with a high active motor. Presented on the ball tough presence while moving off the ball quickly. Competent ball handler who gets to the rim at a quick rate. Showcased athleticism and bounce in 2nd half with 3 dunks. One was for a great back door cut read and then finish with an alley oop flush. Soft touch in traffic and can shoot it from range as well. Competes hard with tenacity. Game 2 MVP. Will continue to gain recruiting traction from division 1 colleges for good reason.

Marshall is one of the better combo guards in the junior class. The Rock Island guard has burst to the rim and was exceptional in transition. He consistently threw down dunks in the open floor. His defense also set the tone as he was a very good perimeter defender garnering an array of steals turning them into points for himself or others. Used his length and timing to block a jumper. Poured in a few mid-range and threes.
