Phoenix Suns: Morris in need of brotherly love?

When the Phoenix Suns drafted Markieff Morris No. 13 overall back in 2011, no one in Phoenix knew what to expect. After losing long time superstar Amar’e Stoudamire to the Knicks in free agency in 2010, Phoenix was in desperate need of a quality big-man. Morris, a 6’10 power forward known for stretching the floor, has been one of the key pieces in the Suns re-building process. Morris started at forward in all 82 games for the Suns last season, Morris averaged 15 points, while shooting 46% from the field, and grabbing 6 boards a night. But is Morris’ production in jeopardy of falling as the Suns have traded away the best teammate he ever had, his brother.
