If you have watched any Xavier basketball this year (I haven’t, I just study stat sheets in my mom’s basement) you have undoubtedly heard announcers rave about Xavier’s sensational freshman Naji Marshall. And utter the phrase “nylon song” for some reason. Marshall has been touted as the heir to JP Macura’s chaotic throne due to the trouble he causes at the top of the 1-3-1, his well rounded offensive game, and that awesome dunk against UNI. It is pretty frequent that fan bases compare current players to past ones or even other current ones in order to create a framework for what to expect out of a given player.
Have we already seen the future of Naji Marshall?
