LA Clippers’ Marcus Morris Sr. boasts the makings of an enticing asset on a championship-contending team — a 6-foot-8, 218-pound frame, shot-creating dexterity and decades-long experience.
But what we got instead was a fast-declining, bootless star of the past.
Once flaunting an impressive 47.3 percent hit rate from three in the 2020-21 season, Morris was not the same dead-eye shot-maker he used to be. If anything, he wasn’t even a consistent shooter from behind the arc: he connected on just 36.4 percent of his shots from long range this season.
In the two final months of the regular season, his three-point conversion rate continued to plummet, reaching 28 percent in March, then a season-low 16.
