It wouldn't be a bad idea to send Morris to the d-league for a while. It is a shortened season after all.
I rather he compete against Budinger and T-Will to earn his minutes. Because I think he is more than capable of beating Budinger for the starting spot, but he should prove it first.
Morris looks like he has slimmed down by about 7-10 lbs to play the s/f position. Could someone (hi Clutch) find out for a fact?
I'm not sure exactly by how much, but he definitely look more cut than at Kansas. People keep talking about what he could and couldn't do in college, and forget that he was a g/f before that, which is exactly what he's transforming himself back into.
Just a wild guess, but I think he has been told by the FO that he will mainly play the 3 spot with rare duties at the 4. That would definitely explain why he appears thinner. As it is now, Morris is more suitable for the 3 than the 4, which is fine with me. I want him to eventually start for us. I think this team badly need some of that Philly toughness.

I'm rooting for the guy... He legitmately seems like a great guy with a passion for basketball... I hope he breaks out and nabs the future of our starting sf position for good... 1:50 mark did it for me, thought he was having trouble holding the kid at first, not the case.. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/a14nlsZnGlU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
