Marcus Morris
Morris was hot starting the 2019-2020 season, that is until the New York Knicks traded him to the Los Angeles Clippers.
After that, Morris bombed his own season, lowering his shooting percentage, and points per game. To start the season, Morris was averaging a career-high of 19.6 points per game with the Knicks. This also included a shooting percentage of 44.2%.
The drastic change once he rolled up in Los Angeles is astounding, dropping only 9.3 points per game and only shooting 40% from the field. Among other things, Morris also decreased his three-point shooting percentage by a whole 15.1%.
To some extent, it’s understood since he’s now on a championship-level team, but the Warriors will be a championship-level team. They’d expect more from a player that could be looking at an eight-figure per year contract.
These stats make Morris a less appealing player, who clearly cannot adapt to new teams when traded. This is just another player the Warriors need to take a rain check on.
