Marbury glows about draft stud in China, calls Jackson ‘visionary’

Fresh off a third Chinese Basketball Association title, Stephon Marbury weighed in on the Knicks’ potential draft pick, fellow CBA point guard Emmanuel Mudiay, calling the mystery prospect a player who is “going to be really good.’’

In a phone interview from Beijing, the ex-Knicks point guard from Coney Island branded Phil Jackson “a visionary’’ and claims to “love the triangle.’’

The 6-foot-5 Mudiay has the tools to be an All-Star, Marbury believes. The Dallas product turned down a scholarship from Larry Brown and SMU to play one season in China to prepare for the NBA draft.
