The New York Knicks didn’t sign Kevin Durant. They didn’t sign Kyrie Irving or Kawhi Leonard. Hell, they didn’t even sign Tobias Harris. But they did sign Marcus Morris. And to start the year, it’s paying off largely.
This may sound strange, but there’s an argument that Morris has been the Knicks’ best player so far this season.
For all the skepticism that the Knicks received for investing $15 million dollars to a guy best fit for a contender, fans and the players alike have grown to love the Morris addition.
Not only is he leading the team in scoring, but he’s maintained a level of consistency that is seemingly irreplaceable on a young team.
