Darius Morris Discussion

I don't really blame Morris though. It is not his fault that he got a lot of playing time, and getting a QO in the summer. But he does kind of suck for a PG. He doesn't run any kind of plays. He zooms up the court, and does nothing with the ball or set up his teammates...you know...like what a PG should be doing.

But in order to keep this thread on topic, I'm just going to say sorry for offending you kobe_mamba. I look forward to discussing this with you further after we see more from Morris and his contributions to the team.

That being said, I love to give youth a look and that is why I want to see Sacre and DJO more, but I'm just not convinced in what I've seen so far from Morris that he is a playmaker at the 1. He's more of a undersized 2 and with Kobe there already and Mike using Ebanks there over Jodie, Morris really won't ever see any time at the 2. So Brown is trying to force the issue and make him a 1. IMHO, its a mistake and really a waste of time, cause other guys that deserve those minutes and could contribute more to the team are available. But even with an extensive look at his personnel through the preseason, Mike still hasn't developed a 2nd unit...that's pretty inept for a coach if you ask me.

He sucks at pretty much everything else though like dribbling and creating for himself or others. He was the floor general to start the 4th and Pistons had a 9-0 run because he couldn't set up the guys.

I don't understand how he continues to get PT...I don't see it...dude can't create his own shot to save his life...he had some good minutes in the first half but man watching this guy makes me want to pull my hair out...like really????I would rather have Smush Parker running point...

Well... he's really more like a SG (He is 6-4 after all) who doesn't have great handles. But he can't really shoot either.
