Marcus Morris on joining Celtics: "This is the first time in my career where I can say I have an opportunity to compete for the Finals."

He's certainly saying all the right things. I have a good feeling about him.

He also said Paul Pierce is his favorite player, and he talked to Paul about going to the gym together this summer. Pierce told him that he will absolutely love Boston.

Yup.

He's definitely in a good position to succeed and be a beloved guy here.

Here's to off season optimism.  Good role player.  He's not turning into PPII.  Nor will he be our rebounding saviour.

The only reason the Pistons made this trade was because AB was available (and they rather have AB vs overpay KCP).  And Ellenson looked really looked at SL

Celtics balance their lineup by adding Morris. 

I like that we have someone that won't back down and grind down Lebron, Leonard, Durants of the world

How did Ellenson do in the summer league?

Averaged about 17ppg and 7rpg, so he looked pretty solid.

Didn't get a single block over 5 games though, which is weird.

yup. and looks like gained a little bit of quickness as well

I was thinking Danny was going to grab Ellenson last season at 16 but instead with Yabu. We will see how this turns out

Nobody is comparing him to Pierce nor are they expecting him to lead the league in rebounding.

This thread seems to imply the guy is happy to be here and looking forward to his role on a Fianls contender.
