    You can't be quick to judge a player... Remember; Carl Landry, Pat Pat, Aaron Brooks, Luis Scola, Chase Budinger now Mr Marcus Morris.

    Scola is the PF who's being delt in a package.

    Hayes, Scola, Hill, Patterson, Morris. We now have 5 PFs and no usable C.

    Man seems like we have a team of superheroes...

    P.atrick P.atterson
    M.arcus M.orris

    I don`t know... reading about him, he is a tweener who is too slow to guard 3s and not athletic enough to guard 4s. I sure hope he can be a good 3 on both ends of the floor. But he is funny, I give him that much.

    And in the end - in Morey we trust.

    Carl Landry = Traded
    Pat Pat = Tremendous Upside (I like him a lot)
    Aaron Brooks = Traded
    Luis Scola = Going to be traded (Book It)
    Chase Budinger=decent bench player

    So Marcus has a chance to be traded or be a good bench player :)

    Pat Pat is longer, more athletic, and I believe more an inside player than Mr. Marcus..

    Marcus Morris is a SF that was force to play the 4 in college.

    He can handle the ball, create space off the dribble and has good enough quickness to guard the 3, and can finish inside.

    The one thing I was hoping we wouldn't do is draft another "NBA ready" player.

    :(

    We took the best player available at the time regardless of need.
