Kendall Marshall could benefit from Steve Nash’s exit at Phoenix
Posted Jul 8, 2012
At age 38, NBA superstar Steve Nash is old enough to be Kendall Marshall’s agent. And in one of the most indirect manners imaginable, Nash is quickly opening doors for the left-handed former UNC floor leader. The recent decision by Nash to leave Phoenix to join the Los Angeles Lakers should create a rare opportunity for the 20-year-old Marshall to make a substantial rookie impact in 2012-13.
