I thought Nurse liked to play long athletic guys but for whatever reason he’s giving a ton of respect to Marcus Morris who can’t do nothing but take open jumpers. I mean are we gonna have a repeat of Doc again where we play a shit veteran for half the season? I mean did one game where Morris hit a few open jumpers really offset the 5 putrid games he had in a row, and the game that served has irrefutable evidence that he couldn’t play center? Why do it again tonight and give yourself no chance at the game?
Yea i get that part and think it makes sense for reed especially - he needs as much consistency as possible so he can just keep developing as a player.
But objectively speaking, you look at the roster when embiid is out and your choices for a back up starting center are a 7+ foot young big man in Mo Bamba or a 6’9 old ass marcus morris, and you choose morris, it speaks volumes about how the coach feels about bamba seeing the floor at all.
