After playing a pivotal role for the Los Angeles Lakers in last year’s NBA Finals, Markieff Morris was relegated to a reserve role in Frank Vogel’s crowded front court rotation this season, which resulted in him having worst season in recent memory.
Morris made his feelings about Vogel’s decision to move him down the pecking order well-known at the start of the season, but on Friday, after the Lakers were eliminated from the playoffs, Morris praised his head coach for the way he managed the Lakers’ abundance of talent this season.
“I think coach did the best he could,” Morris said.
