I would love his shooting on the perimeter, and hes tough, but I cant say hes the answer to our problems. Id say we give up defense (Harkless) for offense. And we toss away a #1 in the process.
Difficult for me to quantify how much better we are with Morris than Harkless. Obviously, if his shooting carries over, he makes us better, but will it? Hes a career 37% 3PT shooter. Certainly not a slam dunk he improves our rotation, but at least he opens the floor and you can bake him into the playoff rotation. Harkless seems matchup dependant in that regard.
QRich's Player of the Game threads tell the story. Morris can go off for 20 or even 30 and win you a game. Harkless can't.
I keep seeing we're 7-0 when Harkless scores 10 or more. All that says to me is that he's only done it 7 times all year. The rest of the time we're playing 4-on-5 out there.
