Is Isiah not playing this kid for a reason? Does he have a plan for this young talented big?

Because he sucks?

And because he's another "draft pick" overrated by Isiah?

We really need to play all of our young kids to find out what we are really missing as a team. The sooner we find out what we need, is the easier it is to draft the right talent to complement our roster. I would be much happier watching Morris and Chandler making mistakes or miss a shot than Malik or Q bricking or stinking it up all night or all season

im was wondering the samething on why zeke is not playing morris..... there have been plenty of opportunities ( knicks down by 20 ) to give this kid some good minutes....... i know its his last yr under contract...

is it because he doesn't want morris' skills showcased???

is he doing this to not have teams bid on him next yr???

would a player even want to come back and rejoin this circus??

I truly believe that Isiah doesn't want other GMs to see what this kid can really do.

"Didn't they say he got dunked on by Nate in practice? I'd be damned.."

Yao got dunked on by nate, I'd still want him playing on my team...

Isiah has no reason not to play morris, worse case scenario hes a bust and we let him walk, best case scenario he has value and we can move him for a late draft pick.

All i know is with chandler playing more we should also get a glance at morris, theres no way he's worse then malik.

I haven't see anything about Randolph Morris that will make me believe he will be in this league beyond his rookie contract. He is essentially the new Mardy Collins of this forum....

David Lee has been working with Mark Aguire this season. I only hope Morris has been doing the same with all that free time he has on his hands

IT is not doing this so this so teams won't want him..

it's as simple as morris going to a team's workout facility and the team knows what they got...

The only reason I can figure why Zeke doesn't play Morris is because he's afraid he'll show up his high priced talent. The same holds true for Balk, Nate, Chandler. Damn shame.

I have no clue. My guess is that there aren't enough minutes to go around as is, and Isiah doesn't think he's better than what is already out there.
