You can't compare Waiters to Marshall because they play so differently.  Marshall is a true point- he looks to distribute first and does a better job than anyone at getting his teammates the ball where they can score.  His vision is better than anyone at this level, and he averages 10 assists a game. Dion is primarily a scoring guard- he and Kendall can both penetrate the defense almost at will, but Dion's strength is so much better that he can finish at the rim better than Marshall or really any other player you can think of.  Waiters is also unquestionably a better shooter, his jumper has come a long way as seen with that NBA-like move he made last night where he got himself space and drained a fall away 3. Marshall shoots under 50% and only 27% from 3, and he doesn't take many shots (5.8 ppg) because he doesn't need to and that's not his role. I also think Dion is a better defender- Marshall is a good defender (1.3 steals/game), but Dion creates more turnovers than any guard I can remember at SU.
Both are great players, and both are perfect for the systems they play for.  I don't think JB or Roy would consider trading one for the other if either coach had the choice.
