According to ESPN.com's Adam Schefter, Marshall, who played shooting guard at Lake Howell High School in Winter Park, Florida, said he would try-out for the Denver Nuggets, his first choice, and the Miami Heat as his second.

"I'm going to be on an NBA team. Seriously." Marshall said.
Optimism has continued to grow that no football will be played in 2011. In an ESPN.com report published in February, executive director of the NFL Players Association DeMaurice Smith said that, "on a scale of 1 to 10...it's a 14" that a lockout will occur next season.
Marshall, who lettered in basketball and track in high school, followed suit.
"There's not going to be any football. If there's a lockout, I have to find a job. I figure the Nuggets will be a better choice because of the welcome home cheer I'll get -- a couple of boos at first. I'm gonna get with a basketball coach and get to work, prepare for the lockout."
The 6-4, 230 pound receiver, nicknamed "The Freak," inked a four-year, $47.5 million contract extension following a trade from the Broncos to the Dolphins this offseason.
