Former Xavier University Musketeers standout Naji Marshall agreed to a new three-year, $5.3 million deal with the New Orleans Pelicans - with the rest of this season and next season fully guaranteed - according to a report Thursday via Twitter from Shams Charania that Marshall retweeted in congratulatory tweets.
Social media reactions:
Marshall is averaging 6.4 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.6 assists in the 26 games in which he's appeared this season for New Orleans. But his stats and playing time have skyrocketed since he made his first start for the team on April 2.
