On how many teams would Marcus Morris be a starter on?

[CelticsElite]

I was thinking about how deep our team is and it kind of hit me that we have some players that would be considered starters on other teams... namely Marcus morris. If markief can start, then Marcus can start for teams. The question--- how many teams would morris be a starter on? It speaks to our depth well especially at his position

Here are 6 teams.

Brooklyn, Chicago, Sacramento, Charlotte, Cleveland, Detroit, maybe Houston, Memphis, New Orleans, OKC (ahead of Grant), Orlando, Portland

That's it, I believe

Wait, isn't CLE the reigning champs still though.  JK

I was referring to this statement

Got to love Morris's reply..

I don't think Morris starts in Cleveland, Charlotte, Houston, Memphis, OKC, Portland, or Orlando.  Maybe Brooklyn, Detroit, and Chicago.  So Sacramento is the only place I think he clearly starts. 

[Donoghus]

I have to imagine less than 5 teams in the league.

This bench stuff is getting overblown.  Frankly, guys like Morris, smart, and even rozier would be flawed starters for the long term on any team.

While I think our bench will be good, and get after it defensively, we have three guys (mentioned above) that have questionable shot selection.  So let’s see what happens but our starters will be the meal ticket, not the bench.

He clearly starts in New Orleans as well

I got to agree, specially since we have seen this type of over hyping before.
Marcus Morris had good but also bad stretches last season. a starter needs to be more consistent.

If it is Hill yes, but I could absolutely see the Pelicans try to go big with Davis, Randle, and Mirotic all starting.

I think only 3 teams he could seriously start are Brooklyn, Sacramento, and Pelicans.

What do they all share in common? Desperate need for wings. Which means Morris isn't someone you should ever start. He's a great low tier starter, but needs to be more consistent on both ends, and be a leader on/off court.

I don't see him starting over RHJ.  Heck BKN often goes small with Crabbe at the 3 and they have Dudley, Carroll, and LeVert also.  Possible he starts, especially if they actually start RHJ at PF, but I certainly wouldn't call it a given.

You drastically underestimate Morris. Not really surprising though, but he has multiple seasons of 14/5 as a starter on a dysfunctional Detroit team with an offence that didn’t help his game

right a dysfunctional team in which his competition for starting was the first two seasons of Stanley Johnson and Jon Leuer one year and Anthony Tolliver the other.  Aron Baynes was also on the bench for both those teams, the same Baynes that started over Morris last year in Boston. 

Morris started only because he had no real competition for minutes.  That is why he would only start on teams that have no real competition for wing minutes.  Morris is a bench player, plain and simple.
