    That's true Hydra but George's played 3 years in the league to Morris' one....



    George's 3 years of 3pt statistics.....

    1st - 34.0%
    2nd - 22.1%
    3rd - 37.1%


    George's 3 years of FG percentage.....

    1st - 38.9%
    2nd - 30.9%
    3rd - 41.1%


    Hell even T-mo's awful shooting this year comes close to matching George's FG percentages. Why not wait a year or so and let Morris develop instead of wasting picks/players or exceptions to get someone who isn't signifigantly better after 3 years in the league...

    That reminds me of a year or two ago when Nesby had 20 against us for the Clips and their announcer called him a "special, special player". That shows you what one game means.

    I think Terrence Morris plays better defense than Devean George, and that's what we need from our small forward. And as others have stated, it's not fair to compare a rookie stats to a three year man.

    Devean George will not make bit of difference on this team.

    As soon as DG is inserted into a game, a stupid long jumper is to follow. The potential is certainly there, but I'm not so sure about what's between his ears.

    Sorry guys, but Morris isn't going to develop. He had four years at Maryland to develop and he couldn't even do that. Some guys just don't have it. I do think he could be a decent bench player, but he just doesn't have the skill to be a starter in the NBA...not that Devean George does either. I just can't seem to find any potential in TMo's game. Maybe if he came out of college as a freshman I could, but a guy who went through all four years of college? No way.
