I see Bud falling out of the rotation...

I see him at least playing 5 games for the Vipers

Especially when you cut their time in half.

Unless he took over starting duties.. Idk why he wouldnt.. Bud has already been thrown back and Parson's did nothing to warrant a permanent position... Morris has Carmelo Peirce written all over him..

The size and athleticism of Melo.. The turn around of peirce.. I dont care if this kid can play defense yet.. Call him up and play him AT THE THREE!!!

Morris is gonna be really impressive. His brother is already starting to shine in Phoenix.

Who I'm really intrigued by is Greg Smith. Does anyone know if he's controlled by the Rockets or can he be called-up by another team? I'd look to give him most of JHill's minutes soon!

People here are delusional and give Morris no credit where I think he is doing great. No summer league, no offseason of working with coaches, 2 week training camp and the guy comes out and has a performance like he did against the Spurs. Then plays solid in the D league back to back nights. Give him 5 or 6 more D League games. Ship out Budinger/Martin/Scola and figure out which top 10 pick you can drop in with that young group and justify building around. Either trade Dalembert at the deadline or just decline his option next year. Resign Thabeet if he proves anything and let Hill and Flynn walk. Obvious hole in our young lineup is center, so we can see what happens in the draft. Andre Drummond could still declare. Or you have a good lotto pick, the NY pick, DMO and possibly Llull as assets. A star player becomes available and you use the picks to bring them on. Lowry needs to end up being your 3rd best player. We would need to add a perimeter player and post player that are the top 2 guys on the team, but the high lotto pick is the key to whichever way we want to go.

I agree. Morris disappointed me quite a lot because he initially looked so lost when he was out there. Still, nice to see that he is getting more comfortable even it is a the D-League level.

Morris is able to do things both Bud and Parsons can't offensively. I say he will be brought back up after a few more games.
