    I don't love the Marcus pick. I do love the Motiejunas pick. Parsons is a second round pick so it probably doesn't matter.

    However, none of those players is supposed to be at least an average defender. So how do we address our poor D for next season (whenever it begins)? Thabeet? A trade for Asik (yes, please)? Any ideas?

    Morris is a good 3/4 defender. Lightyears ahead of Bud and Scola, at least.

    I thought the knock on Marcus was that he couldn't guard 3's? Maybe that's not true?

    That's coming from people who think he can't play the small forward spot, defensively or offensively, but most of them haven't really seen im play. Rockets say he can. He knows he can.

    Morris is a pretty complete player. He can shoot, dribble, post up, defend, etc...

    Lee+ Parsons for Asik? Dragic's big enough to play and defend the 1 and 2.
