His ability to hit open shots, penetrate off the rotation and better passing are nice pluses ( 5 rebounds and 4 assists) Marshall will get some chances are well. Although it may wind up being grimes or Klay with their shooting late.

I thought Kidd’s decision to stick with Grimes and Hardy late was both surprising and important. He also won two challenges. Dirkie consideration?
