Miami Heat: Markieff Morris Settling Into Role With Best Showing Yet
The Miami Heat had quite the offseason, one that featured the addition of six-time NBA All-Star and NBA Champion, Kyle Lowry. Lowry wasn’t alone though, as the Miami Heat made other key additions.
While the addition of P.J. Tucker was a double-positive, in the form of getting him for themselves and taking him away from the reigning NBA Champions, the team that knocked the Miami Heat out of last year’s postseason, and their arch-rivals in the Milwaukee Bucks, they weren’t alone in coming to Miami.
The Miami Heat also added another tough, rugged, Miami Heat-type of guy as well.
In getting Markieff Morris, they got a guy who can not only come in and be multiple for them, something to be sure that Coach Spoelstra can appreciate, but someone also capable of producing with a certain level of physicality to him and his game.
All of that was on display on Monday night against the Orlando Magic. While the kerfuffle with him and the senior Wagner brother from the Magic is one example to document, his offensive production, as a whole, is the other point of evidence there.
