Akron Zips' center Zeke Marshall will reportedly work out for the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday, according to Jason Lloyd of the Akron Beacon Journal.
The Cavs have two first-round picks this year, but Lloyd says Marshall is more likely to be drafted in the second round.
The 7-foot center won the Mid-American Conference Defensive Player of the Year award as both a junior and a senior, but he has been inconsistent in his private workouts and left a few team scouts disappointed. If he makes it in the NBA, it will be because of his defense.
Marshall averaged 13 points and 7 rebounds as a senior, while leading the Zips in blocks with 3.7 per game. He has good moves around the rim and is incredibly strong. He can bench press more than 300 pounds, but struggled with inconsistency on the court as well.
