    Poor Morris. If the Rockets were doing terribly I'm sure McHale would insert Morris into the rotation...but things are starting to click now.

    Morris and Dmo are the forgotten guys who will eventually just explode onto the scene after some of our current rotation get traded away.

    With Morey's track record of trading our rotational players, I would be surprised if he didn't get any playing time.

    He showed he has the midrange game in the preseason, he just needs to get comfortable at SF in the NBA game....or with the speed of it.

    He may never be the Go to guy, but he will most probably be a rotational player.

    Llull's so forgotten, you forgot to mention him in your forgotten guys. lol.

    He could be Goran Dragic #2 if Dragic leaves (that's a possibility)

    If he were to not a single game in the NBA, but instead played all nbadl games, would he still be considered a rookie next year?

    Lull, MM and most of all D-Mo...three lottery level guys the Rox have on the back burner. Our FO is definitely one of the best in the L.

    With bud and twill both out of the rotation I expect to see Morris in it when he is healthy

    How are we stacked for forwards? When we drafted him the only sf we had in the rotation was C-bud. SMH

    What is will all these scrubs starting random threads in the GARM? there are a ton of MM threads already, if you just wanted to know his status why start a new thread?

    Rehabbing/Playing in the DLeague

    They don't draft by need, but by Best Player Available and the FO believed that was Morris


    We were not stacked at the Forward position until draft day when they picked up 2 Forwards in morris and parsons.
