Preseason Game 5: Kings @ Suns

The only reasoning is that Morris is a horrible defender and that he needs to foul in order to keep the opponent from scoring. And if that's the case, I prefer Amare's "I'll just watch him score and stay on the court to contribute offensively at least" game rather than Morris "I'll foul every time and try to pick up as many fouls as I can doesn't matter what foul trouble is" game.

Someone needs to teach the kid defense. The funny thing is, just like Robin Lopez, Markieff was supposed to be the twin that's the good defender and defensive player while the other brother is the offensive player. Yet just like Robin, Markieff has failed to impress defensively.

His defense is pretty damn good! I'd say that a good 50% of his fouls are ticky-tack ones that should be no calls. Ones that once they happen we all are shouting, "WTF Ref?!?!?!?!?". His defense is fine.

So the refs have a goal to get after Morris? The 13th overall, non hyped player?

Obviously they call fouls more in the NBA than in college and sometimes refs will call those ticky tacky calls on young players but that's why most players adjust their game, Morris needs to do the same.

Why is it that Morris simply can't avoid foul trouble?

My theory is he's been hanging around Mark West too much.
