I'm really sick of Buck and Phil talking about how great Morris is. I mean he's not awful
but he certainly isn't great either. Buck says he's been 'terrific'. Hyperbole. The trade
to obtain him is terrific in the original, not modern sense of the word terrific, as in
it was a terrific explosion.
Oh and yesterday Buck said Big Balls was a good shooter. OMG. If he was a good shooter,
maybe he'd still be in the league playing somewhere.
I agree that "terrific" is an overstatement. that said, Morris has been rock solid after a 4-game break in period. Since then, per 36, he is posting 17, 8 and 2, with 1.3 steals and a 1 block, with a TS% of .575 and 3P% of .361. And he is playing real good D.
He has been a legit starting caliber player for us. Can't complain about that. The problem over the last 20 games or so hasn't been Morris. It has been Wall and Beal slumping at the same time.
