Without playing a game on the court, Gregg Marshall and his Wichita State men's basketball program won big this summer.
It started in June when the Philadelphia 76ers selected Landry Shamet with the No. 26 overall pick in the NBA Draft, then continued in July when Fred VanVleet agreed to a two-year contract worth $18 million earlier this week.
What that means is Marshall gets to upgrade his WSU pitch on the recruiting trail.
Not only has he produced three NBA guards (including Ron Baker with the New York Knicks), but Marshall also coached the first Shocker first-round draft pick in 33 years.
