Why isn’t Adam Morrison playing?

[paulsen]

Can anyone tell me why adam Morrison isn't getting any playing time with the lakers? I have been wondering for a while now, He was a 3. Draft pick andone of the best college players in 06 but still doesn't play. Any answers?

 

[lakersmets49ers]

because he's a bust with no type of defensive skills.

 

[ady2glude707]

He was picked 3 in a super weak draft class

 

[gabegrams]

He's a bum.

fixed. dude has no consistent jumpers.

Mbenga took the last playoff roster spot

and like others already said he isnt that great

 

[dman14]

cant defend
the one thing he is suppose to be good at, shooting, he really isnt excelling at either. cant get his shot off and really havent knock down his shots

 

[downtown43]

uhh... because he sucks?

Redick >>>>>>>>>>>> Morrison (and i've always hated them both)

 

[newbs24]

I am gonna join the masses and say, the reason he isn't playing is because he sucks.

and this dude makes 4 mil while shannon brown makes $800k

To this day I can't see what the Bobcats saw in this kid

GM-MJ strikes again

 

[jenero]

It's ok, it'll probably be vice versa next year.

 

[Chester McFloppy]

He %%$@+%% sucks.

I think he can make a good role player later down the road when he figures out his niche in the NBA.

 

[vanexellent]

his knee is not right yet. So an already slow player is slowed further by his knee. Supposedly they want him to rehab it during the summer.

 

[rko2004]

He'd be good with the Spurs.

 

[downtown43]

^i'm sure Pop would love his defensive prowess.

 

[gregory house]

he sucks.

 

[kicks4kaskets]

because he sucks.

[in the line for viis]

No racism here, but when's the last time a non-African American top 10 pick panned out e.g. at least an All Star?

'07 - Yi Jianlian at 6 and Spencer Hawes at 10, Yi's looking like a bust, decision is not out yet on Hawes
'06 - Bargnani (1st overall), Adam Morrison 3rd, decision not out yet on Bargnani, but 2nd overall was LaMarcus and we know who's won that one so far.Ammo's a bust so far
'05 - Bogut (1st overall), decent scoring, but def. not living up to 1st overall especially considering he was in the draft with CP3 and Deron.
'04 - Rafael Araujo (8th), Luke Jackson (10th), WHO?
'03 - Darko (2nd), Kaman (6th), Hinrich (7th), Darko sucks, Kaman's about the same level as Bogut, Hinrich looked like he was going to break through,but came back down
'02 - Yao (1st), Dunleavy (3rd), Nikoloz Tskitishvili (5th) - Yao's our winner, Dunleavy's ok, who's Tskilavilishil or whoever.

that would never work.

I still think Adam Morrison has some value. MJ made a bad choice, drafting this dude at #3. He could've had Brandon Roy.
