My Take
Marcus Morris Sr. is the kind of tough, no-nonsense wing every contending team seems to want around playoff time. He can stretch the floor as a shooter but never shies away from the physical, sometimes chippy side of the game, and that edge has made him a valuable role player on plenty of rosters. I always find the twin dynamic with Markieff fascinating; the two have been linked their whole basketball lives from Philly to Kansas to the NBA. Marcus isn't a star, but he's a steady, hard-nosed pro who understands his job and does it without complaint. Reliable veteran toughness personified.
Overview
Marcus Morris Sr. is an American professional basketball player born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He played college basketball at the University of Kansas before being selected in the first round of the 2011 NBA Draft. A versatile forward, he has played for numerous NBA teams over his career and is the twin brother of fellow NBA player Markieff Morris.
