#8•MARC. MORRIS
F • 6’8, 218 lbs; 13th year, Kansas
SALTY DOG
NBA ROLE: SCORING, HYBRID FORWARD
Marcus, the younger (Morris Twin), is a versatile, ‘matchup problem’ forward; unbeknownst to some, Marcus is a very talented faceup threat – features a wide array of jabbers, mid-post faders, turnarounds, step backs and is quick enough to get by you, strong enough to finish through you; uses his strength & size to an advantage – loves setting up near the elbow or lower block before punishing smaller defenders in the lane; underrated defender, Morris has gotten better 1v1, especially v. larger bigs; rightfully aggressive from downtown (makes difficult, leaning looks on the regular), shot at a 47!% clip from outside in '20-'21; needs to work on post-up playmaking; signed w/ Cavs (2024): Morris remains an offensive threat off the bench
