He is playing well and did carry us for a while (i know there was much bad with the good) https://www.nba.com/pelicans/news/pe...-naji-marshall
Kind of like we forget Edmund Sumner would have been starting guard against FSU in 2018 if he stayed..certainly a different outcome. For some reason Villanova players do stay.
I am not a long time fan (first recall the playin game 2014 against NC State when first daughter started at X) but i have seen a lifetime of basketball drama over the past 8 years.

Hard to believe that if Naj stayed he (like Paul) would have played this year

And if Semaj would have stayed he would have been on the 2015-16 that had a 2 seed.. if Derrick Brown would have stayed he would have been on the 2010 Sweet 16 team.. ifs and buts are candy and nuts.. Overall I think its an overall positive to have guys leave and go pro for exposure to recruits.

yes and it their life and all seem to do well. I dont remember Villanova losing anyone early thought ( i could be mistaken). Even Jalen could have been on the Elite Eight team. I enjoy every minute (even if my blood pressure goes through roof) and would rather follow one team i care for .

It didn’t work out as well for D Brown in the NBA as he thought it would. He seemed to be okay with how things played out, but I can’t help but think that had Sean stayed at X, then D Brown would have stayed. Then, X would have had a very good chance of getting to their first Final 4 that next year.
So X could have had a team make it to the Final Four (or gone further) and D Brown would have had another year of experience before getting draft, would have likely been a lottery pick and would have been a bit more ready to play at the next level.Last edited by IM4X; 04-14-2022 at 01:12 PM.

The best place for Derrick Brown to improve his career at that point would have been the NBA, IMO. Though maybe not in Charlotte. That said, I don't think the number of players who could be NBA rotation guys who aren't due to Circumstances is all that large.
