High school career

Marshall led Bishop O'Connell to the 2010 Virginia Independent Schools Division I championship as a senior. He also led Bishop O'Connell to the semifinals of the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference. He averaged 15.3 points, nine rebounds and six assists as a senior.

Considered a four-star recruit by ESPN.com, Marshall was listed as the No. 7 point guard and the No. 22 player in the nation in 2010.[1]

College career

Freshman season

At the start of his first season at North Carolina, Marshall provided more depth at the point guard position to relieve starting point guard Larry Drew II, as he got more used to the system at North Carolina. However, after a disappointing showing at Georgia Tech in which the Tar Heels lost by twenty points, Roy Williams took the gamble and inserted Marshall into the starting lineup at a win versus Clemson. Soon Drew transferred to UCLA, allowing Marshall to take on the leadership role with poise; as he dished out sixteen assists to three turnovers at a win over Florida State on February 6. Marshall averaged 6.2 points and 6.2 rebounds per game.[2]

Sophomore season

Marshall had an excellent sophomore season in which he set the all time UNC assist record of 351, surpassing former UNC point guard Ed Cota as the all-time leader in assists in a single season in school history. On March 9, 2012, Marshall set another record, the all-time ACC record in assists in a single season with 311, surpassing the previous record set by former Georgia Tech point guard Craig Neal.[3]

Marshall fractured his wrist during North Carolina's NCAA tournament win against Creighton University, landing hard after being fouled while driving for a layup.[4] He did not return for the remainder of the season, as Carolina fell to Kansas in the regional finals. Marshall won the 2012 Bob Cousy award, joining past winners Raymond Felton (2005) and Ty Lawson (2009) as Tar Heels who have won the award.[5] As a sophomore, Marshall averaged 8.1 points and 9.8 assists and shot 52.7 percent from the field.[2]

Professional playing career

2012 NBA draft

On March 29, 2012, Marshall announced that he would enter the 2012 NBA draft out of UNC with three of his teammates: sophomore Harrison Barnes, junior John Henson and senior Tyler Zeller.[6] He was selected with the 13th overall pick in the 2012 NBA draft by the Phoenix Suns.

Phoenix Suns (2012–2013)

On July 16, 2012, Marshall signed a multi-year deal with the Phoenix Suns.[7] He joined the Suns for the 2012 NBA Summer League and in his first game, he had five assists and three steals.[8] In his final Summer League game, Marshall had a double-double with 15 points and 10 assists in a 96-87 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies.[9]

On December 3, 2013, Marshall was acquired by the Delaware 87ers of the NBA D-League.[15] In his debut with Delaware, Marshall recorded 31 points, 10 assists, 9 rebounds, and 2 steals in a 126-139 loss to the Rio Grande Valley Vipers.[16]
