Ehhhhhhhh, definitely not sold at all. Maybe if a team was really desperate for a PG or something.
@CollegeWolf He's definitely a long-term prospect. His brother didn't really breakout until this season, his third in the NBA, and he was farther along developmentally than Marquis heading into the NBA.
