That way he doesn't get limited touches as he does when he's on the floor with Lopez and you also get some much needed scoring off the bench. I just wish Avery would experiment a bit more with his line up.
What I've been saying for a while. He needs to be with the second unit as the #1 option/playmaker, especially since our second unit is pretty bad in the first place and desperately needs a scorer other than Farmar. Of course, this only works when we have Lopez back because Brooks was clearly having a hard time figuring out his role with Lopez back.

If we some how get howard as a free agent and get to keep lopez and brooks then brooks should be moved to the bench and morrow should start. If avery doesn't do this then they need a new coach.

It's so simple to see. First they will need morrow on the floor to spread things out. He still is the best three point shooter on the team. with howard and lopez in the paint we will need the shooting with the starting line-up.

second brooks will have a hard time scoring with howard, dwill and lopez getting all the touches. Brooks does need the ball in his hands. He can spot up and shoot but he is better off the dribble.

He just seems to have a knack for getting his shot off while being defender very well. At first you say what a bad shot and then they go in. they all seem to go in. I think with the second unit he will get the scoring opportunities he will need. I think it would be a perfect fit.

and i wouldn't call him a ball stopper. He usually gets the ball with most of the shot clock down and has to get a shot up. And he isn't selfish. He makes very nice passes and plenty of times he is in the paint and dishes it to the big guy under the basket instead of chucking up a shot. the main problem is the big guy is either williams or petro and they miss from 2 feet away. Put in lopez and howard and it's a dunk and a foul.

And when I said he wants to be kobe and will work hard to get there did mean I think he will ever come close. It means that he is going to be a very hard worker and usually guys that work hard to improve their games do improve their games. I think he will improve his out side shooting by next season. he has already improved it this season. He should improve shooting off of screens because he will get more of that next season also.

Morrow shouldn't start, neither should MarShon.

well that's what we have at the two. and i think morrow would be a perfect fit for a howard, dwill and lopez starting line-up.
