The Phoenix Suns got their first look at first round draft pick Kendall Marshall Tuesday night -- and let's just say the very early results were underwhelming.

The former North Carolina Tar Heel handed out five assists and turned the ball over five times in 28:43 of playing time. Marshall took one shot -- and it was an air-balled three-pointer in the Suns' 89-74 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Suns, who were led by Markieff Morris' 24 points, 17 rebounds and six blocked shots, take to the court again Wednesday against New Orleans.

Tip-off is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas.

    That's because Marshall is not an NBA-caliber player.

    Not only doesn't he look like an NBA caliber player but after two games I'm not sure he is even a Summer League caliber player. And to think Jeremy Lamb who went 1 pick prior is tearing up the Summer League at a position the Suns desparately need talent. Amazing how some teams seem to be able to make draft moves and yet the Suns are not able to. I'm sure we will here from them how much they liked Lamb but couldn't get him. That song has become old.
