    So glad we drafted this guy instead of Leonard.

    It amazes me that more fans don't see the similarities. The guy literally has said he mimics Melo's moves. He does a good job of it, too.

    He just needs to be more aggressive and get use to the tendencies of the NBA players he faces. That's going to make him a 20ppg scorer, at least.

    You have to feel great with what he showed tonight but his only question mark hasn't been put to the test. Can't wait to see him guarding wings.

    The guy kind of reminded me of Danny Granger tonight.

    Nice video, thanks.

    If he doesn't take over the starting role our bench should be strong again this year with him, Pat, Lee, Goran and who ever sorts out at backup center.

    He was slow, though. Didn't look like a 3, at all.

    He looked pretty quick to me, especially on that Flynn assisted layup and that baseline dunk.

    It was his 1st NBA game, He's going to adjust. Besides, he just has to be serviceable defensively as a 3, because they have NO CHANCE of guarding Morris from the elbow in. Looks like we may have a steal at the 14th pick.:grin:

    Only preseason, but I'm not seeing elite skills here. Looks like a solid tweener.

    I don't see the scorer capability. Stars like Anthony and Pierce get a large percentage of their points from the line. They are pretty much unguardable one on one off the dribble.

    Morris looked more like Rashard Lewis without the 3-point range to me.

    Nice shooting. He does need to get quicker though,otherwise he is going to struggle at the 3.

    I think he's deceptively fast. The smoothness with which he gets off his moves and his shots is what makes you think he's slow. He never got blocked, nor was his shot contested in those highlights. I bet you he can haul ass when he needs to. Just like Paul Pierce. It's all about lulling the competition to sleep and then knifing in at the right moment.

    Are you smoking? Rashard is weaker than well water! This guy is TOUGH and will get to the line once he gets the respect of the refs. Its just a matter of time. STARS GET CALLS!

    Lol you really thought he was elite? without even playing an NBA game? :rolleyes:

    I might settle for a borderline allstar there.

    Draftexpress has him being a best case David West meets Al Harrington.

    IMO, he will be better than both when it's all said and done.

    Ok so he can shoot. Can he dribble and move with the ball? I mean he is supposed to play the 3 right?
