Relishes opportunity to grow as a player in Detroit.
Marcus Morris didn't look like somebody interested in the spotlight. While he was met by a big crowd and rapturous applause at the Palace of Auburn Hills during his walk up to the podium at his introductory press conference, he admitted he wouldn't have minded if just five people were there.
The entirety of his introductory remarks were: "Excited to be here. Excited for the opportunity. Here to get to work. Thank you all for coming."
Whether this is a product of natural shyness, unhappiness about being in Detroit, or unhappiness about being traded away from Phoenix, where he signed a long-term deal alongside his twin brother less than a year ago, is anybody's guess.
