    I’m surprised Marcus went after his brother. I’ll take it, though my UT family won’t like it, lol.

    On a side note, the Suns sure do love drafting brothers… too bad they always draft the lesser talentented one. ;)

    chadfordinsider: The Bobcats are selecting this for the Bucks. The Bucks get Tobias Harris at 19. To me, he's the draft sleeper. Just 18. Versatile. Smart. [via Twitter]

    Maybe,I think it will be hard to move him because of his knee injury.

    I know right. People hated the Brooks pick, Landry pick, and hell, even Patterson. People were saying we should have traded down and got more picks instead of taking Patterson. Marcus Morris is a very good pick and he'll be good for us. Probably play the three more than the four, tbh. I like it. Dude has a swagger to him and has a beast mode. And McHale will help him with some post moves.

    Morey and the Rockets did well.

    Someone in chat claims to have hooped with Morris. Says he's cocky and a not a hard worker. That sounds too eerily like Joey Dorsey :(

    Morris said ".... they don't have a scoring forward...."

    Is Scola gone

    treykerby: Let's be honest. Ricky Rubio was compared to Pete Maravich because of his hair and alcoholism. [via Twitter]

    Hell yes, I'd be ecstatic if we snagged J-Ham at 23.

    Morris worked out with the 3's at the draft.combine. I wouldn't expect.him to compete for minutes with Scola.

    The guy I keep thinking of is Robert.Horry, who played 4 at Auburn. Or maybe Derrek McKey.

    So if I understand you correctly, because the Patterson pick panned out, this one will as well. Interesting way to look at this. This means that a trade must be in the offing because they have too many of the same player at PF. I really don't see Morris as a legit full-time SF. It is what it is I suppose.

Spent days talking current roster and future strategy with Mchale and Finch. Spent weeks watching the guys workouts.... don't KNOW ***** about putting a team together and definitely don't kow what other plans ar ein the works. STFU!!
