Former Bob Cousy Award winner and NBA point guard Kendall Marshall is Carolina Basketball’s Assistant Director of Operations. He is in third season on Roy Williams’ staff.
Marshall played two seasons as a Tar Heel from 2010-12 and four seasons in the NBA, where he had nearly a 3 to 1 assist-error ratio. He was second in the NBA in assists in 2014 for the Los Angeles Lakers. He earned his undergraduate degree from UNC in 2018.
The Dumfries, Va., native was one of the best passers in college basketball history. He moved into the starting lineup in January of his freshman season and led UNC to consecutive appearances in the ACC Tournament finals and NCAA Elite Eight, piling up assists in record time. As a sophomore, he earned first-team All-America honors (CBSSports.com) and ran a Tar Heel attack that earned a No. 1 seed in the Midwest Regional. Marshall suffered a broken wrist in Carolina’s NCAA second-round win over Creighton and was unable to play in UNC’s next two Tournament games.
He won the Bob Cousy Award in 2012 as the nation’s top point guard, became Carolina’s all-time leader in assist average with 7.96 per game and the ACC’s career leader in assist-error ratio at 3.01.
He is second in ACC history in assists per game and concluded his career eighth in UNC history in assists. Marshall recorded 10 or more assists 23 times.
As a sophomore he also earned third-team All-America honors from the Associated Press and was a second-team All-ACC selection. He set the ACC single-season record for assists with 351, the fourth-most in NCAA history. He led the nation in assist-error ratio (3.5) and was second in assists per game (9.8). He established the ACC single-season record for highest assist average and had second-best assist-error ratio in ACC single-season history.
In 2011, he was a first-team Freshman All-America and was a third-team All-ACC after leading the ACC in assists with 6.2 per game.
Marshall was a high school All-America at Bishop O’Connell High School in Arlington, Va., where he won the 2010 Virginia Independent Schools Division I championship.
