MARKIEFF MORRIS (DAL)
SALTY DOG
NBA ROLE: SCORING POWER FORWARD
Markieff, the elder (Morris Twin), specializes in faceup scoring and long-range shooting; tough shot maker, especially from the mid-post area – elbow step backs, turnarounds & straightaway 3s are a few of Keef’s signature shots; transitioned into more of a stretch big role in recent years – primarily shoots triples, alternates between the 4 & 5; has found a niche as a post defender: must hold his own on that end to maximize PT; when Keef’s in the right rhythm, you’re looking at a matchup problem big who can effectively play both interior positions; veteran presence: Morris performs well as a reserve – won title as an instant-O sub for the Lakers in 2020, adds a veteran presence for Coach Kidd
