[Video] Rookie Marcus Morris scores 15 points in second quarter alone

Awesome, thanks Clutch!

Also, just wondered if you ever considered putting a few of the misses in. Makes it into less of a highlight reel but could be useful for analysis of a player's hotspots on the court and situations that cause problems for them... I know it'd probably double the amount of work needed though.

 

Philly Morris!

 

too early. he's not done

 

His game reminds me of Carmelo Anthony. Impressive.

 

Morris is looking REALLY good this game.
His game does remind me of Melo... although I see a little bit of Durant in him as well...

 

Thanks Clutch!

 

Seemed very comfortable out there tonight. Seems like we got back to back steals in the draft. Who said picking 14 was a bad thing?

 

Melo... Durant... ? No offense, but I don't see that at all. If I'm going to make an at this point ludicrous comparison to a likely HOF'er, it's Paul Pierce.

But even that's a huge stretch... At this point.

I do t think Marcus has felt free and comfortable enough to show us his dribble game yet. He's clearly skilled enough as a shooter and smart enough generally to be a solid role player. If he wants to be more, as a 3 man, he has to have a face up, dribble penetrate game. Not sure there yet. But very encouraged so far.

 

Doesn't have 3 point range yet. But his success tonight is more important than what Lin or Adrien did, as I expect him to be a more integral part of the team's success going forward.

 

Thanks for the vid. I missed a majority of the game cause I was at work. Very impressive night for Morris.

 

I was very impressed.

 

Good job Marcus. Hope he makes the crowded rotation

 

I was referring to his size, how he moves around the court, his shot selection, etc. - not talent or aggressiveness.

The way he scored in the open court, the way he drop stepped into a dunk under the basket, the way he hit that turn around at the elbow, all reminded me of Melo.

 

he should be pick and roll/pop as a 4
and post up ad a 3
good player

 

looked very solid, made good moves, finished in traffic, hit a few jumpers. Very easily could've been 20 in that quarter if not for those 2 shots rimming out. I was impressed.

 

Quick release... Heady player... Plays a good two
man game (would have been great with Brooks actually).... Superb hustle fundamentals (we knew this with his character already) and he has great size for a 3, but any 4 that has to check him has to come out of the paint.

I have never seen any Durant ball skills from this kid, but the quick full stroke is similar to Durant's I suppose.

So Morey and McHale have something to figure out.....

Does this skillet fit best with Scola & Dalembert vs what Budinger brings to the table or do you keep Morris as the 6th man and roll him with Jordan Hill / Thabeet to being athleticism to the 2nd unit.

 

why do i keep counting 18 points..?

 

Mchale's head must be spinning trying to figure out who makes the best combinations with all these guys. Morris sure made it harder tonight with that performance.

Man....this team is so.....unknown. But in a fun way.

 

nevermind, i counted flynns 3..
