Donyell Marshall

The fourth pick of the 1994 draft after a unanimous Big East Player of the Year season at UConn, Donyell Marshall logged fifteen NBA years across eight teams. Utah landed him in a 2000 four-team trade, and he spent two seasons as a frontcourt role player beside Karl Malone and John Stockton before signing with Chicago. In 2005 he tied Kobe Bryant's NBA record with 12 three-pointers in a single game for Toronto.

Coaching became the second act: assistant stops from George Washington to Buffalo, five years as head coach at Central Connecticut State, then the G League's Greensboro Swarm. His great uncle is football Hall of Famer Lenny Moore.

HOW HE CAME & WENTGolden State moved him to Utah in the first four-team trade in NBA history in August 2000. Two years later contract talks collapsed over a wide gap on years and money, and he signed with Chicago in August 2002.
