    Some credit to Marcus Morris this game. The guy put on a clinic near the end of the 2nd quarter(?). The guy's totally not a bust like most are saying here.

    He looks great at backup PF.

    I was really impressed after reading his chron interview about how he came in with a new attitude this year. I'm glad he did well today.

    I never thought he was a bust, just too slow to play the 3. I believe Morey said Mook could be a good power forward, or a great mismatch at the 3. He looks faster now, as well as more confident, so hopefully he can log some minutes at small forward and we can finally see what we have.

    He had bust reduction surgery in the summer. Less busty now.

    He looked good, and I have high hopes for him. But, he only played 11 minutes. Sample size is too small to prove anything at this point.

    Jones played 4 tonight and probably will for most of the time in the foreseeable future.

    Morris will be splitting minutes with Delfino...it's probably better for his sake we trade him.

    I agree. I thought Delfino was a ridiculous sign.

    The fact that we're still debating this a year after he was drafted says a lot, don't you think? Personally I think he's a 3/4 tweener without a true nba position. But like others I'm glad he came in tis yer with a better attitude.

    Only because he hasn't played enough minutes to make a case. But, fact is that he's trying to be a 3 and he played 3 ably tonight.

    Once Royce is released, Morris will again be a memory.
