00:00So tell us about him because, you know, it was basically like they, you know, they, they,

00:19they got him and they lose Derek Jones jr. And what kind of a player is, I know he's

00:24a good corner three guy, versatile defensive player on the perimeter. Who was his NBA comp?

00:30I mean, his NBA comp is him. You know, like I don't really, he, he, it's not like he's

00:35a rookie, you know, not just been in this league for a while. So he's sat, he's watched,

00:42he's learned through vision. And when the opportunity has presented itself, he has made

00:46the most of it this past year in new Orleans. He only started one game two years prior to

00:52he started a numerous amount of games, 20 plus games and almost average 15 points per

00:57game and no starts. So like, again, this, this, a lot of times things are based on,

01:04like, do I know this guy? Like, is this guy a household name? And just because the guy

01:09is not a household name, doesn't mean that he cannot impact your, your organization.

01:13Nigel Marshall is a heck of a dude. One. He was the toughest guy on the new Orleans Pelicans

01:18team last year. Since he's been here, he has been the enforcer in new Orleans, which is

01:24wild to say, because we're used to enforcers being Charles Oakley or Dale Davis or Antonio

01:30Davis, Nigel Marshall, six, five, six, six. And it's one of the toughest guys. I can guarantee

01:35you this. Nobody will be pushing Luca around. I can 100% guarantee you that fans will love

01:42Nigel Marshall's toughness and they will love his versatility. He can handle the ball.

01:46He can shoot the ball and he can put the ball on the floor.

01:50I love that.

01:54Like being the Coloradans for new Orleans Pelicans for the last five years, when I saw

02:00the Woj tweet about Nigel Marshall going to Dallas, I was kind of upset. I was kind of pissed

02:08because now I know, now I know that the Pelicans are going to have to play against that same

02:13Nigel Marshall, that same Nigel Marshall. I watch every day in practice, go head to head with,

02:18with Brendan Ingram and Zion Williamson, that guy. Do you have any thoughts of scouting?
