| Morris, Marcus | Kansas | 6'9" | 230 | PF/SF | Jr. | Another one of our favorite NCAA players is Marcus Morris, the 2011 Big 12 Player of the Year.

He is great in transition and can finish plays at the rim. In half-court sets - he is patient and smart. He can step out and hit a three point shot (.357 career). He takes charges. He is alert. His combination of strength and quickness in face up situations vs. power players is very nice. …While not the playmaker that Rodney McCray was - Morris nevertheless reminds me of McCray with his ability to handle the ball or post up.

Morris is an excellent rebounder and he shoots 55.5% FG. ...He can guard Small Forwards but his offensive game is more suited to being a PF. Led the Prep Charter High School Eagles to back-to-back Pennsylvania state titles in 2007 and 2006. In `07 he hit the game winning shot in the state championship game. ...Has a twin (teammate at Kansas); Markieff. ...I see Marcus Morris as one of the, if not THE, safest player to draft. |
