Markieff Morris
When you look at Markieff Morris’ career it is like he is made for the Miami Heat. Similarly to Johnson, he spent his career being on a number of teams, three to be specific.
The majority of his career he spent coming off the bench as he puts up 11.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.7 assists. Although, he had a down year with the Oklahoma City Thunder merely averaging 6.5 points and 3.8 rebounds.
What would Morris provide for the Heat?
Morris has the ability to play the wing or as a big. He will be able to come in as a backup for either Bam Adebayo or Josh Richardson. Morris would provide further scoring off the bench and some interior defense.
Over the last couple of years in his career, he has developed a consistent 34 percent from downtown. Having another big with the ability to stretch the floor will provide more spacing and more room other players to operate in.
I mentioned Morris could be similar to Johnson. Let’s hope it’s like very similar. What would that mean for Morris? Well, it means potentially career-high in points, rebounds, assists, and 3-point percentage. But, let’s hope the Heat wouldn’t offer him a big contract.
