    Marcus Morris is a *****.

    Hmm no wonder that you're still a rookie.

    All bench and no starter. Don't even ask about the C.

    None of those fit the bill for what we need at SF. T-Will is too short, cant shoot and a ball hog. Bud cant do anything inconsistently. Morris is a tweener.

    T-will is actually 6'7 which is perfect for a SF.

    Morris is 6'9 PF. Tweener means he is too small. He is actually to unathletic to be a SF

    He's one of the least athletic power forwards in the draft.

    Marcus Morris is not an elite physical specimen, but he did register a positive wingspan to height ratio (6-10:6-7) at a solid 230 pounds. While he's still slightly short and not as long as the average power forward in our database, his mature offensive repertoire should help him overcome those limitations early in his career. Considering that many thought he would come in with a shorter wingspan than his height based on measurements conducted last summer, he probably helped himself in this regard, as he joked about in an interview with us. With that said, Morris would have the shortest wingspan of any power forward drafted in the first round according to our database.

    I'd say he's a Melo who scores less, but defends better. By scoring less, i mean not a 30ppg scorer, but possibly 20-25.


    As for our SF spot....if Morris can knock down the NBA 3 at a better rate, then what purpose would budinger serve? Morris would start and the back up 3 can be split between lee, twill, and even Parsons. I wouldn't be surprised to see Budinger traded, unless he improves his defense and ball handling this offseason.

    oh and also, I'm indifferent to being a rookie or a member. As long as I get to express what i what to express on the board. If it means being a rookie, then I don't mind. :)

    rox looking at moving him to the 3. he has the quickness to hang with the fastest 3 in the nba...not to mention his experience as a 4.

    ??

    Too many ifs right now...

    Will there be a season? How many games? Training camp?

    McHale's system? Defensive gameplan? How much the offense will stay like Adelman's motion?

    Do any of the 3 improve in offseason? Fit in with those systems? Grow next year with the team? Mesh with the coaches?

    All of it makes me sad there will be no D-League this year, but I guess that will at least make it so that no of the Clutchfans populace can develop false hope.

    T-Will is listed everywhere as 6,6. Morris is listed as 6'8 on some 6'9 on others. What I meant by tweener is that he not good enough to play the 3 or 4 permanently, he is a half-half, where he plays wil purely depend on matchups.
