In Chad Ford's final mock draft he now has the Suns taking Marcus Morris not Markieff Morris. Interesting as Marcus is considered the better player and some had him picked in the top 10. Marcus is 6 ' 9" 230 lbs and his twin brother Markieff is 6 ' 9" 241 lbs. Markieff is a better defender and rebounder. Marcus is more athletic and a better scorer.

So which one should the Suns take if both are there??????

Neither. They are both short armed players who will struggle in the nba.

I don't like either one and hope someone better is still on board so the Suns don't have to take a Morris. So far we've heard the Suns have interest in Markieff, not Marcus, so they would likely take Markieff over Marcus if both were available, even though Marcus has been consistently projected to be drafted higher than his brother. In this scenario, the Suns could very well end up with the lesser brother yet again, but this time they would actually pass on the better one.

we should take whichever guy we're positive is going to be worse.

I firmly believe the only way this team turns itself around is to go george costanza on it's ass... whenever they think they've come to a consensus on something, they must do the COMPLETE OPPOSITE.

At least one things's for sure. There are going to be a lot of unhappy people here after the draft.

Yeah, he has been pretty solid. I think his ceiling is as a third, probably fourth best player on a contending team. Which is not a bad thing. A 12/8 type of player if he gets about 30 minutes a game.

I've been impressed. He's gone through some rough patches. But it looks like he's going to end up being a pretty decent pick.
