It's tough to make any concrete statements about Morris except that it looks like he has really good court vision and pretty poor 'quick-twitch' athleticism, but he's got some size. Which means he might make it, but the Blazers select him, he's going to have study Miller like a Hawk and try to pick up some of his old-man game in hurry, or he's going to be just another so-so backup NBA point guard.

Frankly, I think he looks a little like Sergio without the flair for the dramatic.
 
it also looks like his outside shot is crap, but being 20, he could hopefully improve that...i wonder if thats the basis for alot of these miller comparisons lol

I don't know why you brought up everybody else when I was only talking about point guards? In any case name me one point guard that has ever flourished under Nate, rookie or otherwise? Even Jack and Sergio both went elsewhere and saw improvement in their statistical output. True, neither are/were stars but I think it's been somewhat apparent that Nate's talents don't lie with grooming young point guards, either by killing their confidence or trying to shoe-horn them into a style of play that doesn't fit their game.

But like you said, you don't "give a fuck" so why worry about what I have to say?
 
i think we are on more or less the same page as far as his talent evaluation, so maybe we are just getting lost in the details.

For Nate? Yeah pretty much.

So now it's changed from can't get 12 mpg to guys that have flourished under him? Well that changes the argument drastically to coincide with what you're saying, when you're initial claim, that a rookie PG getting 12 mpg under Nate is unlikely.

Earl Watson
Luke Ridnour
Jarret Jack
Sergio
Bayless

All played 12 mpg or more as rookies for Nate. So a rookie able to play 12 mpg as a backup is not unbelievable.

I never brought up 12 minutes per game. Thanks for playing.
 
meh, you responded to him saying it was unbelieveable that a rookie PG could get 12 MPG under Nate.
 
DX just released there strengths and weakness video breakdown of Darius Morris.

He's big, but really lacks quickness and explosiveness. Worry about his ability to operate off the ball as he had an Evan Turner type role in college where he handled the ball a ton for Michigan.

I also question his ability to defend pg's, which is important because he isn't close to being a good enough shooter to slide to the 2 and be a combo guard.
