    I went to Mizzou, and I can't stand Morris as a person. He's a Jayhawk, and he's a bit of a thug.

    That said, he's an absolutely fantastic value pick at 14. Incredibly skilled offensive game, and should have been top 10 easily. If you can't trade up, you need to go BPA... and Marcus was the best player available, hands down. I've watched the guy 20+ times, and he's a very solid NBA player. Not a star, but very reliable scorer with decent rebounding.

    If he can make the transition to the 3 spot then I'm okay with this pick.

    Marcus can handle the ball, create space off the dribble and can post up the smaller SF.

    I think he's Patsquatch Part 2. Makes Scola to Minn for DWill seem more likely...

    The only thing going for us right now is knowing that the Suns always drafts the worse brother.

    Solid pick by Morey. Despite what the 'pros' on this board think. He is a player that can produce immediately. Can play some SF and a stretch PF.

    Very upset about the pick. The guy is an undersized PF. We have 3 already. What the hell gives? I'm really sick over this pick. What a let down. No trades, and we didn't even fill a position of need.

    A tweener PF....great. Now we just need a tight end and we're set.

    Seriously, I'm not a big college bball guy, so I dont' really know whether Morris was the BPA or not. I would think this means that somebody is getting traded. I hope it isn't Patterson, but at this point, I just want a big and a 3 who can come in and contribute immediately.

    Typical low IQ. He didn't know what he was talking.

    Indiana got a great player again. Some gms get it, and larry bird just gets it.

    There will be a logjam at the 3, unless George or leonard can play the 2.

    Not going to bash the pick, but I would rather have randolph or beasley as a tweener vs morris.

    I would have preferred Singleton, but we have Lee, or Faried, but we have a PF logjam, so Marcus Morris is an outstanding pick. He will be a load at the 3 and a powerful, defensive-minded alternative to Bud.

    Lowry-Dragic
    Martin-Lee
    Bud-Morris
    Scola-Pat
    ?-Hayes
