Why we ever guaranteed Morris is beyond me.....

DJO could be a poor man's Bledsoe.

If he was any good, he woulda been picked up already by now.

You mean he should contort himself and make a fadeaway even if no one is guarding him? :lol:

Its a pro-league game, the competition is likely slightly better than college.

the mere fact noone could stay in front of him means this highlight reel tells me nothing of his ability to play at NBA level

i dont know about that. most teams arent willing to gamble on guys like him when you can just get a vet and know for sure what youre going to get.

he couldnt be worse than morris who is somehow on a team.

Pretty sure Darius Morris would be able to do all that on the court against those scrubs.

I think he can dribble just fine.

I don't think he can do much else though.

He can't dribble and run in at straight line, god knows how many layup attempts become face plants

If you watch his summer league and D_league highlights, you will see very similar moves, if he could pull that on the NBA level you'd call him Tony Parker and offer him a max contract.

I honestly don't understand the reasons behind guaranteeing Morris's contract while letting go of DJO and G-Lock. G-Lock sucked in the summer league sure, but he was our most consistent shooter/scorer off the bench last year. DJO has shown flashes that are more promising than Morris. Morris can't dribble, can't shoot, only drives in a straight line, and has sub-par finishing abilities.

DJO couldn't shoot, anybody who seen him in college knew that.

glock could defend a sandbag

at least dmo could stay in front a few guys instead of being destroyed by everyone

remember offense wasnt the issue?
