Michigan State Basketball: Julius Marble already exceeding expectations

Julius Marble came to Michigan State the same way Nick Ward did. Although Ward was a four-star big man and ranked in the top-50 nationally, he was the least-heralded of the entire 2016 recruiting class, but he exceeded expectations from day one.

Marble could soon be on that same upward trajectory with potentially even a higher ceiling.

During the Moneyball Pro-Am on Tuesday night, Marble and sophomore Aaron Henry stole the show and beat Cassius Winston’s team. Marble put up a game-high 39 points to go along with 13 rebounds and he was scoring from just about everywhere — mid-range jumpers, inside scoring and 3-point makes.
