    ;) I agree
    However
    hayes, ariza, battier could score a little I think, Battier had 20 pt games and Ariza 30 pts on inconsistent shooting though

    Scola is a mediocre defender and Budinger below average
    Take a look at Jeff Van Gundy days and you know we couldn't score a lick without the two and five

    The problem with the Jim Jackson comparison is that he was more of a power SG, and this guy is more of a power SF or regular PF.

    He reminds me of a young but quicker Adrian Dantley.

    Too strong for SF's and too quick for PF's.

    Morey picked up a stud.

    Don't be surprised if he gets a couple ROY votes, gets in the rookie-sophomore game this season.

    Settle down folks. All he's shown is that he will be able to play some meaningful minutes this year. And I suspect he'll be plugging in at the 3 and 4, depending on who is being rested or is injured in the compacted season. Of course I hope he's like Melo, but I remember when Melo was Syracuse and he was ridiculous as a freshman going all the way in the tournament. All indications so far are that Morris doesn't quite have that kind of talent.

    You have players who are too short to play a position and not athletic enough to play the other position.

    Then you have players that are too big for smaller players to guard and too athletic for bigger players to stop.

    From the way Marcus Morris runs the floor, he definitely looks like he has the athleticism to play the SF position.

    With his height, length, that turnaround mid-ranged jumper he releases at its highest point, and the inconsistent 3 ball, he looks like a young T-Mac to me.

    Hes not really like Carmelo. He actually looks and plays better. I mean he has defense, unlike Melo. I think MM is gunna be Rookie of The Year,and in the future people will compare him to Paul Pierce. My opinion.
