I watched Zeke Marshall on a replay of a G league game.  He played 10 minutes and had several blocks.  He rebounded well and scored some baskets.  He played good defense and has gotten a lot stronger.  However, he never got into an offensive flow with the team.  He also seems a little slow on offense.  I would love to see him improve and get an NBA shot but he will really need to get quicker on the floor.  He is just not quick to the ball and is not a great offensive rebounder.  His main atribute is still his shotblocking ability.  Anyone who wants to watched him play can go to the G league web page and all the game are free and can be replayed.  Not sure why he came back home.  It seems like they make more money overseas.

"Former University of Akron standout Zeke Marshall performed well for Grand Rapids (7-10). The 7-footer logged 14 minutes off the bench, scoring 12 points on 5-of-6 shooting from the floor. He collected three rebounds and threw an assist while blocking one shot"

Zeke was released by Grand Rapids.

I went to a couple Canton Charge games to see Zeke when he was with the Red Claws.  It was the D League then, but the level of hoops is the same.  The league is all about hoisting 3's and is played more like an NBA Jam video game.  Even when Zeke did manage to get position the ball almost never went into the low blocks.  His points were all on stick backs and pick and roll dunks.  It's a fun brand of basketball for younger kids and run and gun fans, but if you like half court sets and ball movement it is not for you.  Zeke doesn't have the natural athleticism or quicks to be an NBA player, but the G league is just not a big man's league unless he can shoot like Dirk Nowitski.

 

If my memory is correct, Grand Rapids signed Pat a few years ago.  He was cut without ever getting on the court.
