In danger of losing Steve Nash to free agency this summer, the Suns added the most Nash-esque player in this draft in North Carolina point guard Kendall Marshall.
Marshall isn't nearly as quick as many of the other guards that have come out of college in recent years; he's much more of a throwback, old-school point that specializes in running the offense and getting teammates the ball in a position to do something useful with it.
In a perfect world, Marshall would have a year or two to apprentice under Nash before taking on the job full time, but Nash is expected to have a number of suitors this summer, including the Toronto Raptors - the only NBA team playing in his native Canada - both New York teams, and the Portland Trail Blazers.
Incidentally, Marshall is one of the most thoughtful and articulate NCAA athletes I've had the pleasure to follow on Twitter - check out his feed at @kbutter5, you won't be sorry.
