You can't be quick to judge a player... Remember; Carl Landry, Pat Pat, Aaron Brooks, Luis Scola, Chase Budinger now Mr Marcus Morris.

Scola is the PF who's being delt in a package.

Hayes, Scola, Hill, Patterson, Morris. We now have 5 PFs and no usable C.

Man seems like we have a team of superheroes...

P.atrick P.atterson
M.arcus M.orris

I don`t know... reading about him, he is a tweener who is too slow to guard 3s and not athletic enough to guard 4s. I sure hope he can be a good 3 on both ends of the floor. But he is funny, I give him that much.

And in the end - in Morey we trust.

Carl Landry = Traded
Pat Pat = Tremendous Upside (I like him a lot)
Aaron Brooks = Traded
Luis Scola = Going to be traded (Book It)
Chase Budinger=decent bench player

So Marcus has a chance to be traded or be a good bench player

Pat Pat is longer, more athletic, and I believe more an inside player than Mr. Marcus..

Marcus Morris is a SF that was force to play the 4 in college.

He can handle the ball, create space off the dribble and has good enough quickness to guard the 3, and can finish inside.

The one thing I was hoping we wouldn't do is draft another "NBA ready" player.

We took the best player available at the time regardless of need.

this is what i posted in the workout thread +video:

Im not understanding why there isn't more buzz surrounding Morris....the more i watch him the more he seems like a very complete player. I've been looking more at his perimeter game, since he's suppose to have a great post game already and I can't believe his post game is better. He looks great from the perimeter. Looking at his workout clip he reminded me of Melo and he actually went on to say that's who he modeled his game after. His shot is quick, yet controlled, soft, and very direct. Good handles, smooth moves. Takes it to the rim strong. I can see him playing 3 and he's skilled enough to give fits to the PFs as well. He's impressed me more than williams. Morris also seems to have a clear head and way of thnking. He knows who he is and what he can become. Should be able to pick up the details of the NBA game quickly.

I'd put him as high as #4 and think he should definitely be top 6. I expect him to go 6-8 though, maybe to Washington. I can see why morey would try to get him, but i think he needs to try to go higher than 8 or 10th. If he falls to houston I'll consider it a great a draft.
