So we have only one active center on our roster. Awesome. I know sacre doesnt play much and he contribute nothing to the lakers besides being the next Laker girls but we don't have any big body left. I was watching the Dfender couple of days ago and I noticed this center was playing really well. I didnt pay attention to his name but he was rebounding like a boss. How come they can't bring him up like what MLB usually do if a guy plays well? We need another true center

Morris is a disappointment. They guy is being around the best available, took some looks and this year was a big one and he couldn't initiate himself as part of the rotation..
Dleague cant improve Morris, its like stabbing a dead man...

But he still isn't ready for the NBA. The kid needed 4 years of college, this is what happens when you leave early( see austin rivers)
Improved, but not NBA ready yet. D-league is where he belongs.
If we somehow land Dwight Howard AND Nash (which is one of the biggest reaches I've posted, don't think that will happen), then yeah...I have no problem with it, because Howard won't allow anyone to take Nash off the dribble 30+ minutes a game.
You should reach more often

Morris was good but couldn't stay consistent enough and didn't make a big enough improvement to stick in a rotation

Morris IS better than he was last year. Defensively especially.
But he still isn't ready for the NBA. The kid needed 4 years of college, this is what happens when you leave early( see austin rivers)
Improved, but not NBA ready yet. D-league is where he belongs.
Morris just sucks, no amount of college or Dleague will help him. The two greatest players of our generation didn't even go to college.

Seems like there are a few more on the roster that belong in the DLeague.
