re: I can't stand Naji Marshall. I don't care if it is Summer League.

This doesn't mean anything if he's a net negative at every position he plays.

-Can defend and hustle
His defense is not that good, it just looks good on TV because he makes hustle plays, but his footwork in a halfcourt is mediocre at best.

Playing ISO ball is not knowing your role.

That’s not a bad end of the bench guy to have especially since he’s still only 24.
What specific aspects of the game do you see him progressing over these next few years?

He’s like a 12-15th guy off the bench. He’s only going to play when we have injuries. You act like he’s going to be in the rotation on most nights. He’s not and will be a cheerleader for the majority if not the entire season.

If there's a net positive player out there in G League or wherever that you think can replace Naji, some other team will actually have them in their regular rotation.

He's perfectly fine as the last 1 or 2 dudes at the end of the bench.

Not true. Naji may be rather useless on the offensive end, but he's a quality defender, and he's very solid on-ball.
I can't believe that this thread got as much support as it did. Naji clearly provides outsized value for a minimum-contract player.
Last season, Naji spent the first half of the season sharing the floor with Temple, Sato, Kira, NAW, and Jaxson (at center). It would have been very hard for anyone to look good playing with that crew.
