He’s not a bad locker room but he is known to “lay the wood” to opponents. Which I like. The Cavs need that kind of player! We haven’t had one since the days of Lonnie Shelton and/or Tyrone Hill. I’m not advocating for flagrant fouls but he doesn’t up easy layups!Is he a bad locker room guy or just a guy that doesn’t smile gets into with other players and plays tough bully ball? I don’t need to like him or want to have a beer with the guy, but they’ve been around a long time, can’t be too bad in locker room.
Just having some guys to come off the bench who can't be pushed off their spot will be an upgrade. For all their warts TT, Niang and Morris provide some options that we just didn't have last year. JA and Mobley aren't wimps or soft, they just aren't built to bang for position and it's not their forte. Players with more lower body and core strength, as well as good fundamental basketball skills for boxing out, just get under their center of gravity and win their positioning fights. JA and Mobley are built for going over the top and moving through space, not for pushing and shoving.Koby has been adding as many guys that have cajones this season to counteract their lack last of such year. The Knicks blatantly showed repeatedly we had nobody who would nut up on the boards last playoffs.
Skill & wits alone can only carry you so far. Come the playoffs having grit becomes essential. Hopefully this time around we'll be on the correct side of some postseason "Bully Ball"
#ballskillzWhenever I think of Marcus Morris I think of the below
Throw your elbow and miss and then use a ball to hit the opponent in the head
