Former UConn basketball star and NBA player Donny Marshall has joined the YES Network as a Brooklyn Nets analyst.<\/p>\n

Marshall played for the Huskies from 1991 to 1995, and was later named to the school\u2019s Men\u2019s Basketball All-Century Team. He earned a bachelor\u2019s degree in business management at UConn, and was recently elected to the Board of Trustees as an alumni trustee.<\/p>\n

A 6\u20197\u201d forward, Marshall was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round of the 1995 NBA Draft out of UConn. He played five seasons in the NBA, the final two with the New Jersey Nets when they reached the NBA Finals.<\/p>\n

\u201cDonny possesses an astute insider\u2019s knowledge of the game,\u201d said John Filippelli, president of production and programming at the YES Network. \u201cHe knows the league and the players from his days in the NBA, and his various broadcasting roles have allowed him to develop a keen eye for the analytics of broadcasting. We expect him to make an immediate impact, strengthening our Nets broadcast team which is already the best in the league.\u201d<\/p>\n

YES will televise 76 regular season Nets games this season, the first being Brooklyn\u2019s season opener on Oct. 30, at 7 p.m., against Cleveland. YES also has four remaining Nets pre-season telecasts remaining, the next being on Oct. 15 against Boston (7:30 p.m.).<\/p>\n

Marshall also provides color commentary on NBC Sports Network\u2019s college basketball telecasts; he was an analyst on NBC\u2019s 2012 London Olympics men\u2019s basketball coverage. From 2005 to 2013, Marshall was a Boston Celtics analyst for Comcast SportsNet New England. Marshall had also previously done color commentary on NBA TV and on ESPN and ESPN2\u2019s college basketball telecasts, and had co-hosted WFSB-TV\u2019s (Hartford, Conn.) NCAA Men\u2019s Basketball Tournament studio shows.<\/p>\n

As well as serving on the University's Board of Trustees, Marshall is a board member of First Tee of Connecticut, Windham Hospital, and the Nutmeg State Games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
