I want Adam out there in a lineup that can use him as strictly a spot up shooter. Not with that scramble bench lineup, but with a lineup that he can just pick his spot, wait to be open, then nail it when he is open. Cause I think he can do that really well.
Morrison is crap....I want to find the silver lining for him, but there is none. Dude is trash even when wide open for his shot
Same here. This Triangle system is ideal for him and he gets open looks because his defender doesn't even bother defending him. I see Morrison get a pass and give the ball to a teammate like he's playing hot potato. When he does build up the confidence to actually take a shot he barely draws iron. The only shot I've seen him consistently make are those corner 3's. On defense he's a liability from start to finish. Can't stay in front of his man, can't get through a screen set by a 5'9 guard, can't box out, can't jump for a rebound, and can't run back in transition. He didn't have any injuries this summer and a full training camp. There's no excuses for him anymore. I've given up on him as an NBA player, maybe he can find some success overseas, but at this point he's nothing more than an expiring contract.
There is absolutely no way we benefit from playing Morrison. I'd love for him to get a shot and prove us all wrong, but I don't see how that's possible. He is as slow as a slug, his agility is terrible. He cannot stay in front of anybody and he cannot play a single lick of defense. Even if he somehow manages to knock down a couple of open looks, he'll give all that back and then some because he cannot play defense for shit. Let's not forgot he was out for an entire year because he literally got his ankle broken by Luke Walton. And when he was given playing time this year, he didn't impress me at all. He doesn't give us much offensively (he scored a couple points in garbage time, big whup), and as already mentioned his defense is terrible. His body language is also terrible. He seems scared and timid to be out there, his chin is always down, and he seems afraid to look somebody in the eye. He is just a terrible basketball player period and should not be in the NBA.
