His bread and butter dribble move is the cross-over dribble (left to right) as he goes in a north/south direction that leaves defenders standing still. He is a capable 3-point shooting who needs to become more consistent behind the line. In pick/roll situations he waits on the screen like good point guards should then attacks the big man and score or delivers the assist. His basketball IQ is high as he knows how much time is on the clock when he shot a half court bomb with a second to go and drained it. Defensively he can pick up 94' and needs to turn his man more in the back court. Off the ball he anticipates passing lanes well and has a knack for the steal. He brings energy and excitement to his team.

Interesting to see that the coaching staff is spending so much time looking at guys down in ACC country. This kit along with Scott makes 2 PG's from North Carolina who have some Ohio State interest.

His school is in the same conference as mine which is easily the top in the state of North Carolina. If you see any film on him or wonder about the level of competition... rest assured, he's facing the best of the Southeast night in and night out during conference.

He really came on last year, Vance had a glut of Division I-caliber guards and he took playing time away from all of them.

By Brian Snow...Marquis' father says his son is back to 100%...says distance won't be a factor...they are looking for the best situation that combines basketball and academics...Wake was first to offer...UNC has not offered but is showing consistent interest.
