2013 Summer League rosters, Orlando Summer Pro League - Philadelphia
Zeke MarshallMore Ryan Hollins than DeAndre Jordan, Marshall is tall with a long wingspan, good athleticism, and shot blocking instincts. These are the knowns, the strengths, the calling cards. And everything else is disputable or insufficient. Marshall has put on a little muscle but not nearly enough, and it affects all facets of his game, particularly his man-to-man post defense, defensive rebounding and finishing with anything other than a dunk. The rebounding is perhaps the most pertinent - as Hollins has proven, if you're 7'0, athletic and thin, you don't really need to have much offensive skill, as long as you're prepared to run and have good team mates. But Hollins has also proven that you need to be able to rebound. Hollins has somehow gotten away with this. Marshall won't.
