    What y'all think the future of this guy is.............in particular with the Rockets? Pretty good player at Kansas, along with his brother Markieff....Claims to have been slightly affected by not playing with his brother anymore....But overall great player with potential, y'all think we going to keep him for a while or no?

    regardless of how we handled him

    Terrence Jones has made him expendable

    wasted pick

    tweener of all tweeners

    cross fingers to include him in any deal to a team that believes he has 'potential'

    I'm not a fan of Morris and wasn't when we drafted him. My opinion is with all of our rookies coming in that he will continue to get buried on the beach. Wouldn't be surprised if he is dealt eventually.

    I really didn't see enough of him this season, so I can't tell you. From what I have seen I like him. He could be good role player for us after his first real off-season with the Rockets and they mold him into the player they want him to be.

    He sucks. Flat out. From watching his minutes last year -- he has to have the ball in his hands to score, contributes nothing elsewhere, is too slow/too small for either forward position, has attitude problem.

    Eff him.

    The last time I watched him, he shot an amazing corner three...right into the side of the backboard.

    Well, if I'm Morris, I don't like how the draft played out. He's got a lot more competition for minutes this coming season. Maybe it'll light a fire under his butt and he'll breakout and show he was worth where we drafted him.

    Can't give out playing time just because you got drafted in the 1st round.

    Rookies gotta work hard to get playing time in this organization.

    Landry, brooks, scola, parsons and patterson didn't get playing time out of no where

    I blame Morey for drafting too many players of the same position

    He dissapointed everyone including himself last season. But he's a hard worker and he will come to training camp a better player, and he will start the season even better than that.

    Despite that, I don't see this being a great situation for him to reach his potential. But if he works hard, doesn't complain to the media, and focuses on adding new weapons to his game, then I think he can find his way out of McHale's doghouse.
