What do you see him doing this year? I thought he had a nice rookie year. I know Summer League isn’t the best signal but he posted a ridiculous 24pts, 17rbs tonight. (Including 9 for 10 at the FT line and hitting a 3 pointer.)

Can he pick up SF minutes?

Phoenix is deep with:

SF: Beasley, Jared Dudley

PF: Scola, Channing Frye

C: Gortat, Lopez

I believe Frye is injured to start the year. Will Morris get playing time? What do you think he’s capable of? Player comparison?

 I personally think they should trade frye for more pt for morris

I didnt like it when the Suns grabbed Scola simply because of Morris.. I think Scola is great and would be perfect on a team where he can come off the bench or play with a great big on a team that is ready to win now.. But, the Suns shoud look to build for the next few years.  Scola is like 29 or something, and unless they think they can trade for him, the is only going to retard the overall growth of this team.

scola is actually 32

Scola is 31 and Morris reminds me of drew Gooden because of his touch and ability to shoot off the dribble

Even worse then…

scola is gonna help him out in the post. i think i saw where phoenix might be in a 3 team trade which involes robin lopez, so they could slide frye to back up center. markieff morris is going to be a top 5 pf soon if he keeps it up. hes jus a tough nosed kid who can do a little bit of everything

 I like the Scola pick up, I dont think he was brought in to be THE PF.   Morris will get the PT, he is an active guy and tough too.  I can see the Gooden comparison and a lil bit of Al Harrington.

 they should move channing fry and just have scola and morris battler it out for the muinites buut it is already a playoff team now(phoniex) with the current line up that they have

[JoeWolf1]

Pheonix is making a push to be elite, or at least a playoff team.  Scola, even in his early 30’s, is a better player than Morris is right now.  I think Morris will still see an increase of minutes from last season, despite not being their starter.  He was right under 20 minutes last season and I expect him to be around 25 because in Pheonix’s system he can play a few minutes per night at center.

I think you’ll see his FG% go up and I think he’ll be a 10 ppg 6 rpg 45%, 40%, 75% shooter.  He really went to a system in which his outside shooting can be used.  He’s got a great pull up 3 pointer trailing the fast break and unlike a lot of outside shooting big men, he’s a tough nosed guy who likes to hit the glass.  Something Pheonix really needs more than a few more minutes from an aging Frye.
