Franks' praise for “fearless” Marshall

Adelaide 36ers star Robert Franks has revealed his faith in development player Nick Marshall, after the 23-year-old was elevated to the main roster following the departure of import guard Craig Randall II.

The 36ers returned to the court this weekend after the culmination of the FIBA international break, and Franks has praised Marshall for his confidence to step up and fill a needed role for the side.

After lofty pre-season predictions surrounding the group, Adelaide has started the season with a 3-4 record to currently sit eighth on the ladder.

“I think he (Marshall) is going to be big for us, he’s very confident, he knows the system and he’s a guy who goes out there and is fearless,” Franks said.

“Nick is going to be a guy that comes to the party and really helps us win basketball games.”
