I really don't feel like Morris is helping the team.
He seems to be just a volume shooter who does not defend well.

To be fair Morris is like 4x the player he was a couple months ago.  I didn’t like him either when the thread was started.  Now he looks awesome!

Wasn’t he battling nagging injuries in and out of the lineup? Also had that court case before the season, new team

I think he looked fine for most of the season, especially once he got healthy.  For instance, in January he averaged 13 / 6 with a .556 TS%. Since this thread was started in early February, it has always seemed to ignore a bit of reality from my perspective.

Pretty clear now he was hurt earlier in the year with the nagging knee injury.  Once that got better he has been a good player for us.

His PER 36 scoring really puts some perspective on awesome he has been for the past few months.  From March until the end of the season Morris averaged 20 points per 36 minutes on solid efficiency.  Overall his average was 18 PER 36 for the entire season.  For comparisons sake no player other than IT has accomplished this under Stevens over the past 4 seasons.  It says a lot about Brad's faith in Morris to even allow him to shoot at such high volume.

I can't help but be reminded by Paul Pierce when I watch Morris in isolation.  He takes his time and has no problems getting off his shot against tough defense.  Obviously he is nowhere near Pierce as a ball handler, play maker, or driver.  Still, it's no exaggeration to say that his shot making ability has been reminiscent of "The Truth" for the past 2+ months.

But the 13/6 Morris is what he has been over his career so far...

It is. And 13/6 Morris is a really good player to have on your bench or as a part-time 5th starter.  I don’t understand those fans that don’t appreciate him.

Absolutely. Especially when he's also a willing, versatile defender and sparkplug. Sometimes he goes over the line, but mostly I count on units he's playing on to fight hard.

I think this was an early season aberration.  Morris is vital to this team and the 2nd unit.  There have been a lot of times he bails us out when the sets don't produce anything.  He's a bargain at 5m and has been a great replacement for Avery.  I'm shocked that came out of my mouth because I loved Avery.

Sports are truly as much mental as physical.

Morris is almost never the best player on the floor in an NBA game but he fears no one and always plays hard on both ends. He's in a position to be very effective right now and he's shining. So nice to see.
