The team is 22-13 when he plays. That's 63% winning. That's equivalent to a 52 win team if he played every game.
Plus, aside from Smart, I guess, Morris seems to be the only guy who really brings any toughness to our team, but I'm probably wrong. I know that everyone hated him in the starting lineup, but as I wasn't watching enough of those games, what was the reasoning behind this school of thought? Was it a matter of defense, effort, lack of passing, not being 100%, some combination, etc.? I just always thought that he was going to be the starter at the 4, and then Hayward went down, so yeah...
I'll give the guy credit, though - he certainly seems to play his best against Lebron and the Warriors and will definitely take and make the big shot. I don't like him as a person, but it's nice to have someone else who can create their own offense. I just wish that he could pass. Like at all. I mean, when he's out there with "Not Channing", Brown, and some combination of Kyrie and Rozier, is there a worse passing 1-4 assemblage/combination/lineup in the league?
