10 A.M. — Kendall Marshall Helps To Take Out the Serbs

SLAM Report on the Nike Global Challenge Day 2: http://slamonline.com/online/2008/08/usa-finds-redemption/

While the U.S. Senior National team was squashing the Chinese, another much younger U.S. All-Star team was taking out the international competition. UNC verbal and Bishop O'Connell rising junior Kendall Marshall was part of the USA Two team. Some of the guys on the team included Avery Bradley (Bellarmine Prep/Tacoma, WA), Abdul Gaddy (Bellarmine Prep/Tacoma, WA), Kendall Marshall (Bishop O’Connell/Arlington, VA) and Jordan Hamilton (Dominguez/Compton, CA).

The U.S. was down two to the Serbs at halftime, but won by six. What's better than practicing against 7-foot Serbs? As a 16-year-old? Ridiculous. Marshall eats, sleeps and poops basketball. But he'll be in the league someday, so I guess it'll pay off at some point.
