I believe posters think he brings everything we lack: toughness, intensity, mongrel etc. We are soft. We have no one who stands up and doesn't accept mediocrity. Not saying keef is that guy but we need someone to be on Hardens, and teams ass everyday.
I have only watched two LSU games this season. Have you watched Ben Simmons play much? From what I've seen, he's a very passive, low motor guy. He is not the dude we need on this team.
6'10 245 is undersized for the PF position? I think 6'9 + is a solid height for a PF. I think many overdue the undersized PF thing as well, Draymond Green is a beast PF at 6'7, Faried is 6'8, Hayes 6'6, its more about skill, strength and athleticism then actual height. Not a good rebounder though, 6 boards per game in his last 2 seasons as a starter is terrible though. 33% career average also isn't a terrible 3 point percentage. I wouldn't mind Kieff, but at this point with all the lack of heart and IQ amongst the team I think I would rather have someone else.

I'm just tired of middling, tweener PFs who aren't great in one area. I'd settle for Ryan Anderson over Morris because despite his defensive limitations at least he'll be a great 3-pt and free throw shooter. Jones is bad defensively and not good in one area offensively. I think the same of Morris. I don't want more of the same.
