I'm happy for Marcus. He finally get to play his natural position at the 3 AND he gets to play with his twin brother. Hope the twins will continue to flourish in Phoenix.
A lot of scholarship athletes get "allowances" as part of their program participation. This is how College football players can afford to go out, have nice clothes, etc. It's all through the school and the school's program. I am sure it is only for a select few star players.
ESPN Stats & Info @ESPNStatsInfo Morris twins started for Suns tonight...first twins to start for a team in NBA history.
He's not a 3. He's an undersized 4, the only skill set he has that translates to the 3 is his shooting range. He can't defend a 3, and can't handle like a 3. Plus is basketball IQ sucks. He's just not a rotational player on a NBA playoff contender.
As a fan of Kansas basketball, it's cool seeing them get to play together, even though I'm convinced it was done with marketing in mind on the Suns part. Still cool either way.

MM ha. ... Loose lips sinks your playing time. Maybe CF will b**** some more about losing him(and Patterson).
I don't understand when a team has such a beautiful jersey why they change it to such a hideous one.. the current Suns unis are awful.. same with Rockets
Who's who? Spoiler Markieff Morris, left, and his twin Marcus were reunited when the Suns acquired Marcus from the Rockets a month ago.
Way overblown the whole twins thing. It's like two best friends - they want to play on the same team, they push each other and they understand each other better than others. This isn't playground ball. I feel like they had the impression playing together they could do wonders in the NBA. Doesn't look like it now. Markieff improved slightly, but he had been dissapointing to begin with. That can probably be attributed to improved morale, which is usually temporary. Good luck to them, but unless they bury these childhood fantasies of growing up and dominating the NBA together, they are going to be average at best. They both have a lot of work to do on their games, hopefully they continue to work hard in the summer and after practice to get there.
Interesting, since the Suns at one time had both Van Arsdale twins playing for them at one time. Hard to believe they never started at the same time, but it was their last year playing, so I guess they were mostly off the bench by then.
