Morris is a good fit as a PF who can hit 3's in Brads system.
I hope so. He regressed last year in Detroit to 33% on 4.5 attempts/game. Yuck.
And his rebounding is poor. His TRB is way below Amir or Al - 8.9% last year. (Yes, you read that right, and it's not an aberration.)
Hope Brad can unlock something, but on paper he looks like a rotation player who shouldn't crack the starting rotation on a playoff team.
He's not a great rebounder and he's not a good player really, but the rebounding rate is a tad misleading.
Amir was competing for rebounds with Kelly Olynyk and Al Horford. Morris was competing with Andre Drummond. Morris isn't a good rebounder at all but he's less pitiful than his numbers suggest.
TP for one of the best sentences, intentional or not, in the history of CelticsBlog, lol

Marcus Morris : ugggghhhhh 14ppg and 5rpg
And read below from wikipedia ... particularly note pending court date.
On February 26, 2012, after seeing the final Border War basketball match between Kansas and Missouri, Morris and another assailant named Julius K. Harris received battery charges for punching a man that was an employee for a bar and nightclub in Lawrence, Kansas called The Cave. Both Morris and Harris entered a diversion agreement for the battery charge, with Marcus paying a $300 diversion fee and $60 for court case fees, as well as agreeing not to come in contact with both the victim and The Cave for an entire year.[28]
On January 24, 2015, both Marcus and Markieff Morris found themselves involved with two aggravated assault cases as five different men (including the twins and former Baltimore Ravens safety Gerald Bowman) allegedly assaulted a 36-year-old man named Eric Hood outside of the Nina Mason Pulliam Recreation Center in Phoenix, Arizona.[29] Hood had previously mentored the Morris twins from high school until the end of their college careers, while the brothers wound up beating Hood up for "sending an inappropriate text message" to their mother. While the case against the Morris brothers was first set up on August 3, 2015;[30] the trial for the twins is still ongoing for the latest court date being settled on August 21, 2017, thanks to his twin brother playing in the NBA playoffs on the original court date of April 28.[31][32] The incident was not only considered a catalyst for the Suns trading Marcus to the Pistons on July 9, 2015;[33] but it was also one of the reasons why the Suns eventually traded his twin brother to the Washington Wizards over eight months later on February 18, 2016.[34]
Went to college with the Twins. All I can say is buckle up!
I'm ready for story time, lol
.
Stevens is trying to switch everything on defense and have guys 6'7 to 6'10 that can do multiple things. I'm not sure about our backcourt defense.
I would like to bring in Tony Allen and Jamal Crawford to help defense and scoring off the bench.
Yeah, he's really got to stop doing that, lol
. Ugh.
