Josh Selby who I badly wanted us to draft with 5 points 5 assists in the first half off the bench for Memphis and wow he is quick and explosive!

How does Morris rank among all the rookie PFs?
Markeiff is 31st in the league in Hollingers PER. He's ahead of Kobe, Rondo, Pau Gasol and DeJuan Blair. Only two rookies ranked above him: Jon Leuer and Marshon Brooks.
Markieff Morris = Malik Allen
Looks like you were a little off here. In just 8 games Morris has hit more 3 points shots than Allen did in his entire 10 year career. Allen as a rookie recorded his first and only double double the last game of season. Morris in his 8th game has already accomplished that. Actually I don't know how Malik Allen lasted 10 years in the NBA.
I could go on but I think you understand.
You were on a roll till this part.
I really had no idea what to expect from Morris. A lot of posters (not just slinslin) ripped the pick and said we made a big mistake. I'm not sure what they were watching but IMO this is a real solid player. In addition to the obvious things he does well I really like the way he positions himself as a secondary defender. He gets to his spot quickly, establishes position and unlike so many young players, he's always outside the protected circle.

I loved all the posts about how once AGAIN we got the inferior brother.
Actually, watching him play makes me wish we could get his brother also. I know Marcus usually played outside more at the college level so there'd definitely be a spot for him on our team. So far, Markieff seems to be a cross between AC Green and Rodney Rogers and I can certainly live with that.

Absolutely, but he doesn't really have to be like AC from the belt down, does he?Me, too, especially since he seems like AC from the neck up, thus far.
What more could you ask for from a rookie PF drafted in the middle of the first round?
Especially in that draft..... Bunch of junk all over the place.
Hmm??
Looks like a rather decent draft to me considering people were talking about how it would be the weakest ever yet there are a few rookies already making an impact.
What is your definition of decent? I remember people thinking this class was weak because there were not a bunch of potential franchise or future all-stars in this class and after the top 3 or 4 guys there was a sharp drop off in talent.
Outside of the top 3 or 4 rookies there is a sharp drop off which is what the analysts were saying. I think they nailed it.
The last strong draft was 2008-2009 IMO. 2009-2010 was decent. This years draft will be much like last years. Outside the top 3 or 4 guys is completely forgettable IMO.
