Marcus Morris (DET) – “Mook” 
Profile:
Forward: 6’9, 235 lbs; 7th year, Kansas
NBA Role: scoring, hybrid forward • Star UnderDOG
Marcus, the younger (Morris Twin), is a versatile, ‘matchup problem’ forward for Stan Van Gundy; unbeknownst to some, Marcus is a very talented faceup threat – features a wide array of jabbers, mid-post faders, step backs and is quick enough to get by you, strong enough to finish through you; uses his size to advantage – loves setting up near the elbow or lower block before punishing smaller defenders in the lane; learning how to transfer his energy on defense; turning into a prime Tim Thomas: aggressive-shooting-combo forward with a light touch from outside & in the mid-post; consistency & focus have heightened since arriving in DET – Morris has ratcheted up his intensity defensively, now should work on better ball movement & raising his three-point percentage to an elite level*
*36% is very good – 38-39%, which is achievable, could be one small stepping stone for DET to go from ‘good’ to ‘great’
Signature Move: escape dribble, pull-up J
