We all knew Morris isnt good at basketball before he joined Philly but I didnt expect him to be this bad. Even Embiid & Maxey both have negative net ratings when on the floor with Morris. There are guys like Tobias especially on the roster who Embiid has a much better net rating without this season (and every year in the playoffs) but even with Tobi on the floor Embiids net rating is positive, just not as positive as it is without Tobi. Whereas Embiids net rating is negative with Marcus Morris. Meaning we get outscored when Embiid is on the floor with Marcus Morris but not when Embiid is on the floor with anyone else. There’s no reason to ever be playing Morris. Embiids net rating with Morris is -18.47 & Embiids net rating without Morris is +10.11 btw. Genuinely no reason to ever play him as he has a -20.27 NET Rating next to Maxey and in general as you can see Morris has been a -21.17 in NET Rating for us. Pm on average we get outscored by 20 points when Morris is on the floor.
Should’ve given Terq a chance today and put him on the floor with Embiid rather than playing Marcus Morris.
Stop the bs excuses. No one else on the entire roster has a negative net rating with Embiid. Morris needs to be banished at the end of the bench forever. Genuinely everyone else on the roster is better than him.
See what a small sample size can do to ya? Now we can go back and forth after every couple of games. Or we can both support a guy who’s from Philly trynna find a way to contribute to our beloved team. I wanted Reed to get DeAndre minutes because he was cooked. I don’t see Morris being at that stage, far from it.
