BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 30% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Marcus Morris Sr. has gone through two separate stints this season: bench-guy through the break, and starter after the AS event. That being said, nothing has changed for Morris through the full season, as he's kept up his 20% usage rate no matter the unit he's been part of, although he's become a way better fantasy asset since he was put in the Clips starting lineup.
Morris has started every game going back to Mar. 15, he's playing 30+ MPG since then, and only twice has he fallen below 25 minutes of playing time in the 14 games he's played entering this weekend. As ridiculous as it sounds, Morris was averaging 20 FP prior to Mar. 15, but he's now at a nicer 27 FPG with just three games scoring fewer than 20 FP in the span since. That's insane and the evolution shows and is easy to spot.
Even the 30-minute per-game run isn't keeping Morris from playing an efficient game, putting up a league-average 0.9 FP/min mark in his starting-PF span while contributing 16 PPG, 5 RPG, and 1+ APG in those games. For someone shooting more than 11 FGA per game while hitting 3 3PG, sustaining a 50%+ shooting percentage from the floor is quite impressive. In fact, only Zach LaVine is doing it over the full season, and Morris is one of just 14 players with 2.5 3PG and 46 FG% over the year. Morris was great as a bench player, but now that he's a starter there is not a single excuse not to roster him in virtually every type of league.
